There are articles that I have read to help improve blogging skills:
1. How to title your posts to entice people to read your post.
2. Focusing on a single topic for your entire blog so you aren't picking up readers because of one topic and them losing them because you change your topics.
3. Include photos because people are visual readers - break up the paragraphs.
All of this is meant to help people want to read what I write. However, it becomes less personal. When does my blog become more about you and less about me? Personally, I read blogs to look into the windows of other people's lives. I am a bit of a voyeur. I like reading memoir-style books. Yes, I do look at other websites that have a general focus because I'm looking for something specific.
So, with that, today is Tuesday and with my blog reformat I am considering Tuesday as "LinkLove" day. I'm not certain how long I will keep this Tuesday format. I am honestly not someone who searches for or frequents new websites. I have been a reader of the following blog for well over a year. I would say that the blogger an I are acquaintances. We were never close during childhood though we grew up in the same city and schools. We know each other through mutual friends. She allowed me into her life as a friend on Facebook but she made the decision to release her life from that social media website. Facebook is how I learned about her blog. Ever since then, I became a follower of her blog.
She writes about her mostly daily life. She is a strong young lady - she has faced some challenges in her life that I would not be able to see myself through.
This is Joy. Her blog is Brand New Day.
That was really kind, Lena! Thank you!
