Unless you've deliberately made your blog unsearchable, it's probably kind of nice when new people drop by and follow your blog. And by follow, I mean actually follow, not spam follow in the hopes you'll follow back. But is it easy for people to find and follow your blog? You might be making it harder… Continue reading How Easy Is it for People to Find or Follow Your Blog?

I'm guess most people would agree that it's pretty cool to get comments on your blog. When you do, do you respond to all of them? Let's chat about that. Responding to comments I try to respond to all comments, although it doesn't always happen. Sometimes I can't fish words out of my head for… Continue reading Do You Respond to Comments?

Today, I thought we could talk about what you do when another blogger follows you. Do you follow back automatically, or are you more selective? I've never been one to automatically follow back. A lot of sites that follow me are clearly spammy or not something that interests me at all, but aside from that,… Continue reading Do You Follow Back Bloggers Who Follow You?

This is something I've thought about before, but I was inspired to write this post after I happened to be looking at the blog of someone I follow on Instagram, but not in the blogging world.

BuyMeACoffee shows you when people have bought someone a coffee.… Continue reading Does Your Blog Ever Get Tips/Coffees?

Blog stats can be crazy-making if you get too caught up in them, but there are also some interesting tidbits of information you can find. This post will look at a few of them, ignoring competitive numbers like views because they're not the fun part. I currently have 845 published posts, 36 drafts, and 25… Continue reading Having Fun with Blog Numbers

Most bloggers like getting comments, but what kind of things do you like to see (or would rather not see) in the comments section on your blog? To me, it doesn't make much difference how long a comment is, aside from the odd time that it's a comment by someone I don't know that's not… Continue reading What Do You Like to See in Your Blog’s Comments Section?

This post is inspired by a post a little while back by JoAnn at Sunstone Journal (formerly Midnight Harmony) about coming up with a blog name. I thought we could chat a bit about how people came up with their blog names. When I started my blog in 2017, I was vaguely contemplating starting an… Continue reading Where Did Your Blog Name Come From?
