Rest a-sure, I am talking about myself :o)
Sooo I don't think I can consider myself a "new blogger" anymore but MAN OH MAN, it seems like it. Thanks to Ky @ Travel bables for introducing me to For The Love of Blogs because they have an awesome tips and tricks page for new bloggers and how to get started. I was shocked when I found out that I don't even have the basics down. For instance...I never realized that I didn't have a Google Friend connect button (or as I refer to it a "follow me" button) which is one of the first steps to blogging. How am I supposed to get followers if they can't find a way to follow me? Next dumb move....pages. Sure I've seen them on other blogs but I guess I never really took the time to investigate adding them to my blog. Anyway, I thought I would let you bloggers know that I have added a GFC button and some new pages if your interested!
You're not dumb at all!!!!!!!! You can have followers=readers without a GFC button. GFC followers is just a list of who clicked that button. And after all, not everyone uses Google to blog. I don't, and I never click people's GFC buttons because it's useless when I don't use Google. I keep blogs in my browser bookmarks instead, and the very favourites on my blogroll list.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I installed the Networked blogs follow-me widget because people were asking for one.
Pages weren't obvious for me either... I didn't think I had anything to make pages about. But I'm making some now as well..
But still - you're NOT dumb.
