Three Top Tips

Great idea, Melody!

Tip #1
When selecting a template, try to make sure that it doesn't have attachments that stick out onto the sidebar/post area.
I've seen several blogs with flower/clips/objects that are stationary on the sides, and as you scroll, they cover up text and images. Moving the screen is always an option, but it is easier for the reader if they aren't there.

Tip #2
Participate in tags, awards, and blog parades/parties if you want to get attention!
This is an easy way to make yourself known in the blogger community. Link up to things as well, where people can see your blog listen.

Tip #3
Blog about what you want to blog about.
Be yourself! :)

Three Top Tips

I have decided to participate in Three Top Tips hosted by Melody at Vividry! (Awesome blog, BTW. I highly recommed following.)

Here are the rules, via Melody:

1. Anyone can participate. :) As long as you can come up with three things that have benefited you in your blogging journey, you are welcome to join in! Please don't feel intimidated by the long-time bloggers or bloggers who have several hundred followers or whatever else may intimidate you. It doesn't matter how long you have been blogging or how many followers you have - you have tips to share! And besides, who knows how many bloggers might benefit from what you've learned?


2. Make sure that your tips are not just preferences. For example, a good tip would be: "Don't have the background of your posts be a similar or conflicting color with the color of your words." A preference would be more like "A three-column blog looks nicer than a two-column blog."

3. If your tips are specific for a certain kind of blog, that is great as well! Just please make sure to state that next to the tip. (i.e. Tip #1 [for photography blog] )

4. Please only post three tips! I know it's hard to narrow things down, but I did pick the number three for a reason (and no - the reason wasn't just for alliteration). This way you have to think carefully and only post your very best tips. Some ideas for you are to pick the three things that were the most helpful to you when starting, or maybe the three things you learned that radically changed the way you blog or the amount of followers you received.

Sounds fun, no?

NO?! Well, too bad. I'm going to do it anyways. :)
