I have a couple of posts but nothing real significant yet. I've joined Twitter and have set up a fb page, but for now I'm just getting the feel of how the blogging world runs and focusing on my content. I'm getting ready to renovate a home built in 1847 and this will probably be the bulk of my posts. So in time I feel my blog will contribute and compliment all those other wonderful and dedicated bloggers who have so often inspired me. :)<br /><br />ChristineTestinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358819960292378064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-59670943444530123682011-07-26T21:15:29.294-04:002011-07-26T21:15:29.294-04:00Seriously great how you are sharing these tips.

I just started a blog back in December, and I can completely relate. <br /><br />You mentioned social media, and I've found that Pinterest has generated more interest in my blog than Twitter or Facebook. I think it's because people can see the things you are interested in, which gives them an idea of what you blog about before they even visit your site.<br /><br />Thanks for the tips!<br /><br />Kelli <br />www.ahappyplacecalledhome.comKellihttp://www.ahappyplacecalledhome.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-23094568779871332562011-06-20T04:11:13.059-04:002011-06-20T04:11:13.059-04:00I just stumbled upon your blog from a link @ TheMo...I just stumbled upon your blog from a link @ TheMommyTherapy, which I only started reading a few weeks ago after seeing her in the newspaper.<br /><br />I found this post so helpful and informative as a new blogger.

It wasn't until I linked to a few parties and started commenting on other blogs that I started to notice any traffic on my blog. Social networking has helped a lot in the past 6 mo for me, too. <br /><br />As important as networking and community is, I still think that is always key to bring solid content to your readers. I think some bloggers are quick to get out of the gate when they start a blog. They do tons of PR/media/etc to get their name out there...their blog grows quickly but then their content might start to fade. <br />Get yourself out there and 'mingle', but be careful not let your content slack, either.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12678479642107788883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-57296999653277956072011-06-14T23:07:49.935-04:002011-06-14T23:07:49.935-04:00LOVE this!! and all soooo true!!
