A Bit About Me
-
As I am a virgin blogger, for my first time I thought I would tell you a little about myself and my passion for food.
I am a married 35yr old mother of two teenage daughters and i am currently unemployed ; by choice.I recently worked in a care home as a cook, but due to mine & my husbands conflicting work patterns and the fact the job didn’t make me happy ( the food was too traditional for my style of cooking ) we jointly decided I should quit.
I have always had a keen interest in food and a taste for the exotic, so it was inevitable really that I would end up cooking for a living. But I will always put my family before my career but rather than changing my career completly I’m hoping to do something else with my love for food, and with this blog it begins.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

http://dailypost.wordpress.com/postaday/ebook-grow-traffic/If you want to increase traffic then don’t listen to anyone who professes there are passive ways of doing that. Increasing traffic to a blog is hard work. If you want your blog to rank well in search engine results then that begins with creating and publishing original content posts (not pages) ie. unique content that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet.

If you are using a WordPress.com theme good SEO is a given. However, going beyond the theme what the blogger has done within that structure is worth evaluating.
