As a reader, I may be initially attracted to a fancy blog, but if I don't connect with the writing style, or if the content isn't well written or meaningful, I don't stick around. My blog is pretty bare-bones in terms of design, but I've gotten some nice comments and followers, so I think I'm on the right track! I figure that there's always time to pretty it up later! :-) <br />Good luck to you from a fellow "blog newbie!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-31720549679751051342013-10-07T16:03:54.029+01:002013-10-07T16:03:54.029+01:00I will be checking out your blog :D Yeah, I'm ...I will be checking out your blog :D Yeah, I'm not sure people understand just how crazy they can get!Charnell @ Reviews from a Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12694156080937232949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-17117595068148338662013-10-07T15:52:38.385+01:002013-10-07T15:52:38.385+01:00Yes, I'm hoping to put more of myself in to my...Yes, I'm hoping to put more of myself in to my blog as time goes by. I will learn little by little, I'm a beginner and should realise that when I'm looking at these incredible blogs.

I don't see myself stopping anytime soon as I really am loving it. Even if sometimes I lose sleep, trying to find time for work, reading and blogging! <br /><br />I have been really surprised by the support you get and the wonderful comments people leave. It really makes my day and I always try to go visit their blogs and comment on posts they have made as well.<br /><br />I will have to have a look at Follow and Feature Fridays as I haven't seen any yet!Charnell @ Reviews from a Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12694156080937232949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-53343251362121661942013-10-07T12:50:38.636+01:002013-10-07T12:50:38.636+01:00So many things to comment on.

I am in a smaller city thought, I am sure in the bigger cities it gets crazy. I do know that when my daughter worked at the library one summer a man went around screaming about the apocalypse. That was interesting. Never a flasher thought (that I know of) One of my besties is the teen librarian so I will need to ask her. <br /><br />The blogging community is wonderful and yes very supportive. I have a few that really make my day because of their back and forth interactions. I love their comments and I love to comment on their wonderful blogs. I feel that I have made some friends for sure. <br /><br />Don't worry about the way your blog looks. The content is the most important part. yes to be honest, many people, including myself, find their eyes drawn to certain designs but that is not what keeps a reader. Content does and you have wonderful content. When you are ready, if you ever are, there are many great and nice priced blog designers out there. I am so dumb at HTML and web design, even following a template, so that is what I did. I didn't until about 9 months of blogging though. I wanted to make sure it was something I kept up with since I don't follow through on things for long. I must say I love book blogging though. <br /><br />Follow and feature Fridays are a great way to meet and gain followers that will no doubt love your blog. <br /><br />If you need a chat or anything just stop by. I will keep reading your stuff for sure!<br /><br />Oh and I can't wait to read Time after Time. I am getting it on audio as soon as it releases. Loved the first book.
