Everything you wanted to Know about Blogging

Creating and running a blog can be hard work - there is a lot that goes into it: writing great content, taking amazing photos and even then nobody is going to read it unless you promote it.

  25. This is very useful, thank you. I really need to get my backside onto Pinterest, and that bloggers helping bloggers link party sounds like an awesome idea, although I know my blog needs a bit of work before I get there yet. Although... it would be fun to critique other blogs, and I know often you learn more from looking at what could improve other people's work than looking at your own. #Alittlebitofeverything
