Today's question is:
What would you do over if you were to start your blog again from scratch?
My answer:
One word - Twitter! Twitter is such an amazing way to communicate and I hardly ever use it. That's partly because I don't have internet on my phone - but it's also because I forget it when I'm on the computer. Or it's just so overwhelming because I always feel like I have to keep up, read and think about every single tweet. And then I open another tab, com back after two minutes and realize there are seventy new tweets waiting for me...
However, I guess this is something I can work on so I don't need to start my blog from scratch again :)
What would you do over?
I wish I had more time for Twitter, too! I've only been blogging for about 4 months and I have 3 kiddos, so I'm still learning to balance blogging time, much less Twitter. Plus, my husband and I started a nightly Netflix ritual recently (Supernatural rocks!)...which was when I was doing most of my blogging...so yeah. Must get better at time management! :D
ReplyDeleteGreat answer, chica! Have a great weekend!!!

Time management is key, that's true! I always try my best not to procrastinate reviews and stuff but when it comes to Twitter, I'm plain overwhelmed :)
DeleteI was already on Twitter before the blog so that helped lol!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
My FF
I was, too - and then I decided to create a new Twitter solely for blogging :)
DeleteOh yes, Twitter can be overwhelming LOL

:) I just never know where to begin!
DeleteI have the same problem. I don't use Twitter as often. Thank you for visiting me! Old follower.
ReplyDeleteMe, neither - I just don't know how people do it :)
DeleteYes! I just barely started on Twitter!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had started SO long ago!!

I started pretty much when I started blogging, too (I had a private twitter before), but it's so difficult keeping up with everything!
DeleteYes! That's how I feel about Twitter! Internet on my cell is wayy too costly and when I'm on my computer I'm blogging already so there's no need to tweet. But I do wish I could afford for it on my cell!

I'd LOVE to have it on my cell, but as of right now, I don't feel like wasting my pocket money on phone internet - I buy books instead :)
DeleteTwitter can be a bit overwhelming at first, but once you start using it, you'll love it! It helps build great recognition! Thanks for dropping by my FF! I'm a new GFC Follower!

I hope I'll get used to it - I definitely plan on going on Twitter more often!
Deleteah yes, Twitter. I only just broke down and made myself one. It's pretty cool actually--I just hope I don't get addicted to it!

I wish I was addicted to it! I constantly forget about it :)
DeleteI forget to use Twitter too, I do have my twitter attached to my FB page so it automatically posts what I post so that helps.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. Following already thru GFC but just followed by email too.
Woah, Facebook, too? I'd never be able to manage all that :)
DeleteThank you for stopping by my blog. I am so gappy to be back to blogging. I have missed it. I won't be deleting this one! Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteSooo glad to hear that! And thanks for your comment!
DeleteI was a pretty early adopter of twitter (before I was really blogging) and I LOVE it. I just got internet on my phone like 2 days ago (literally Wednesday) but you can tweet if you have a text messaging plan.
ReplyDeleteMy follow friday. Please visit!
Thanks for the tip, but I'm not big on texting either, so we'll see how that goes :)
DeleteEhhh, twitter...I still haven't figured it out! I have a friend who has been trying to walk me through it, but alas I am still twitter incompetent :)

I do know how it works and stuff, actually and I loved it when I was only on my private Twitter but now with blogging I follow so many people - I just can't get ahead of it anymore :)
DeleteI've never really taken to Twitter myself, though I know some people love it.
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm a new follower via FF.

Yup, many people say it's great to interact with other bloggers and authors and I do see why, it's just that I - am not really good at it just yet :)
DeleteBahaha, I know exactly what you mean. I got all excited when I finally got on twitter, but now I follow like 200 people who all are tweeting all the time and I get so overwhelmed trying to keep up! haha But it's still great!

Hey! Thanks so much for commenting!
DeleteThanks for following! The answer to your HTML question: google. Google was my best friend when I first started blogging. Just search `html code for _________' and it'll come up. It sounds too easy but it's true :P
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! I will totally try to work on my skills now!
DeleteKeeping up with Twitter is hard, its so fast paced! I don't know how people do it!
ReplyDeleteMe, neither :)
DeleteI love Twitter, I have two accounts, one for my blog and the other for my ebay store. Thanks for stopping by. :)
ReplyDeleteWoah-I can't even keep track of one! How do you guys do it?
DeleteI'm the same way with twitter. I like to use it and read it but sometimes I get overwhelmed because I follow so many people. There is a lot of good information on it though. I wish that conversed with people more though.
ReplyDeleteI do get used to it, but I still get confused by all the people tweeting all the time :)
