Hey. Remember me? the girl that used to blog, and now only blogs a picture of her baby once in a blue moon? followed by facts and funny things that said baby did? The girl that never blogs because nobody reads it, when nobody reads it because she never has anything interesting to say? The girl who reads 15+ blogs, pines over how pretty they are and longs for a pretty blog of her own, but never puts any time or effort in because she doesn't know where to start? That girl who used to really enjoy writing, and wasn't too shabby at it either, but now SUCKS because writing is like a muscle and if you don't exercise it it's going to get weak and flabby and jiggly and bla bla bla?
WELL.
She's gone. bye bye. sayronara. why? Because another girl just moved in who wants to find that love/ability to write again. Because this girl has plans that need to be slowly put into action. She wants a blog that is well read. That people
look forward to reading. A blog that is funny, witty, pretty, real, and full of the beautiful and lovely things of life. That girl is me. Jessica Richards, mother of 1. No, I don't want to write a memoir, I just want to be able to have my words flow like they used to, and to be able to document my life in a way that isn't tedious to me or my (10) readers.
I will admit
up front that I have no idea how to start. I don't know how to customize this blog, unless you're talking a different color background and some stupid header I made in paint (noob). I will just let you know that right now I have an idea, and there is a ball forming in my head and it's about to get rolling. so, with that being said, wish me luck with my endeavors!
Jessica!! I'm excited for this!!! Like really, REALLY excited!!
ReplyDeleteI went through this phase and ended up teaching myself a TON of stuff about blog design. It's super easy and if you need any help or advice, I would seriously just tip over with excitement if you asked me.
Now, I have a warning... don't lose yourself. I've thought pretty seriously about trying to make my blog more well read and every time I look into it I find that it makes me super grumpy. It seems like to have a well read blog you have to sell yourself out, which is really lame.
Seriously, if you want any help designing your new blog, feel free to ask! And if you make a "button" I would post it on my blog in a HEART BEAT!
Oh! And one more thing. If you're really dead serious about making your blog all awesome, you can pay designers to do it. There's a few that I absolutely LOVE - let me know if you want their links.
ReplyDeleteMEEEE LIKE! Miss you sis. Can't wait to see what's to come you witty little lady you!
