Now, we all know that I'm the queen of the blogging world.
Not.
And have most definitely have broken one or more of these rules in this past.
But I do have a few rules that if you break, I will come to your blog and leave a long, mean anonymous comment.
I'm kidding, of course. Nobody likes mean anonymous commenters.
These are not in any particular order, bee tee dubs.
1. no music, please.
Now this one is one that people might disagree with.
And it really depends on the music. Some music is relaxing and adds to the blog.
But when I'm relaxing and reading your blog at the end of the day and your blog decides to blast pop-y radio music when my volume is on full blast?
I'm not a happy camper.
And especially when I can't find the dang pause button.
2.
pictures.
You don't have to have a $5,000 dollar camera or the fanciest lens ever to have pictures on your blog.
A point and shoot or even an iPhone would work!
(If you're going to use an iPhone, I would reccomend Line Camera (free) and Hipstamatic ($1.99) for your editing.)
Just add pictures!
3.
word verefication. take it off.
Pleaspleasepleasepleasepleaseplease take off your word verefication on your comments. Everyone on the face of the planet will thank you.
Maybe that's a little much... but close.
Let me let you in on a little secret.
I'm lazy. And so word verefication is just an extra step that I have to do when I'm leaving a comment on your blog.
Don't know how to take word verefication off?
Go to Settings > Posts and comments then scroll down to Show Word Verefication? and click NO.
Ta da!
Now I understand if you're the writer of
this blog or
this one if you want to use word verefication... but otherwise, it's just a pain.
4.
stealing? not cool.
Being
inspired by someone's blog is one thing.
But copying them and stealing their work is a whole other thing and it's not cool.
Not cool at all.
5.
have a variety of posts.
This is another one that people might disagree with. Some people like blogging about the same thing all the time. Some people are strictly fashion blogs, and some strictly photography blogs.
But from what I have noticed, I like reading blogs with a little more variety better, and I also like writing a blog with more variety better.
6.
stay true to yourself.
As extremely cliche as it sounds, it's true.
I have probably broken this one the most out of all of them, and I'll admit it.
I get caught up in trying to make my writing like someone else's blog, or my photography as good as theirs, that I read back on my posts and think, "Wait. This is not even me."
And that's not good! You want your blog to reflect your personality and your talents.
What is one of your blogging "rules"?
Hopefully I'm not breaking it.
That would be awk.
Happy Wednesday!
