How I started my blog!

I was actually first interested in starting a YouTube channel! I had always loved video making since I was really little, and I did (and still do) film videos on my camera. I think it was the fact that I could say whatever I wanted, without worrying what others thought. I posted a couple videos, just for special occasions and contests, but my parents didn't allow me to use my channel regularly. So, I did some research. I was thinking about how I could share my love of AG and creating with the world, but still have it comfortable for my parents. I found the Weebly website making site, and I started my first blog, with my parents support. I have it linked in a couple of my blog posts... it was an interesting blog. That blog was also heavily inspired by MyFroggyStuff. :) I got kind of tired of posting soon though. Weebly blogs did not show up in search engines unless you paid a monthly fee, which I obviously couldn't do. My main goal was sharing my love with some people like me, not staying in a tiny hole, ya know? So I found out about blogger. It seemed like a dream compared to Weebly (I don't have anything against Weebly, it's just Blogger worked better for what I wanted to do :D) and I just decided to switch! I've been blogging on this blog for about a year, and it has been so fun! I can't wait to keep going with this blog. :D

Blogging Advice!

1. Don't think about followers. I know at some point that became very hard for me, and there was a point where I found myself thinking, People will read me if I post this, or, I shouldn't post this because no one will like it.

But that's the thing. It's your blog! For me, blogging wasn't my career or schoolwork. It was something for my enjoyment, and there wasn't any point to it if I didn't have fun. That's probably my most important tip. Don't suck all of the fun out of something you really love!

2. Make friends! Well, don't give out your address to people you just met through email two days ago. But, it's okay to talk to other bloggers and learn more about them! It just makes the whole experience so much more fun! Try not to stay in a little isolated bubble. Comment on posts if you enjoyed them, or actively ask questions. Look for new blogs to follow, because you never know what you might find. :D

So yes, my main advice for blogging is to simply have fun. <3

1. Thank the person who nominated you, and post a link to their blog on your blog. Try to include a little promotion for the person who nominated you. They will thank you for it and those who you nominate will also help you out as well.

2. Display the award on your blog — by including it in your post and/or displaying it using a “widget” or a “gadget”.

3. Provide 10 random facts about yourself. (Optional but highly recommended!)

4. Nominate 5 – 11 blogs that you feel deserve the award, who have less than 200 followers. (Note that you can always ask the blog owner this since not all blogs display a widget that lets the readers know this information!)

5. List these rules in your post (You can copy and paste from here or simply put a link to this post on your blog.) Once you have written and published it, you then have to:
