A Quick Update...

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to right this quick blogpost just to update you guys on what's going on. So you may have noticed that the last few blogposts I've written haven't really been that well written and have been sort of not that good and not very long either and that's because I've been really busy. 
At my school we have a week of exams near the end of the year to assess how well you are doing in each subject some we have to do two exams in and that week is in a couple of weeks time so as you can imagine I am having to revise quite a lot of things! This next week we have spring bank which is a time when I would normally be writing a load more blogposts but instead I'm not going to write any as I really need to revise so I can hopefully get good grades (I wish!!) also even though I've obviously had the weekends (when I tend to post) I've been doing lots of things then; last weekend I had a sleepover for my friend Pippa's birthday, the weekend before I was at church all weekend so I've not really had chance to sit down and write a blogpost and take some really good pictures. I'm really sorry about my posts lately and I promise they will be back to scratch after my exams are over.

So in conclusion of that quite long and unnecessary ramble I won't be posting for the next couple of weeks
sorry,

The Do's and Don'ts of Blogging




Heya everyone,
So back on the theme of blogging and I've written a little list of the do's and don'ts of blogging for all you new bloggers; there's quite a few so lets get started:
  • Do interact with your readers through comments and social media
  • Don't beg people to read your blog, people will find their own way to your blog 
  • Do post regularly, I would say at least once a week
  • Don't overdose your readers, space out your posts a little bit
  • Do use easy to understand language, you want people to be able to understand your posts so don't over complicate the words you use
  • Don't write essay long blog posts, a blog post doesn't need to be 2000 words long to be good only write as much as you want to so don't pay attention to how many words you've written
  • Do include pictures in your posts, its always nice to read a post that has photos on
  • Don't repeat yourself, this is something I definitely need to work on my self but try as best as you can to not keep repeating what you're typing
  • Do get inspiration from fellow bloggers, look at what posts they have written and maybe do something along those lines
  • Don't copy off the internet, people read you're posts because they want to read what YOU think and have written not what someone else has written
  • Do include your personal opinions, your blog is written by you so write about you and what you think/feel
  • Don't make it TOO personal, make sure you aren't revealing to much about your self and make sure you stay safe and don't share things like your telephone number or home address
  • Do write about things that YOU are genuinely interested in and want to write about
  • Don't just write posts that you see others doing because they have write what you want to write
I hope you've found this post helpful,
