Thinking of finally starting a blog
« on: March 24, 2014, 12:33:50 PM »
Signed up with eblogger last night and hubby got it where I can get started when ready.  I am sooooo not computer literate. :P  Any of you that already have one have any advice on getting started?  I'll take whatever ya got. ;)  I can't even figure out how to get the picture and title posted correctly on the homepage. :P  Harder than I thought it would be, that is for sure.  Makes sense now why people say their blogs are currently under construction. :) Not even sure our life is interesting enough for anyone to want to read about it anyway.  Can you tell I am having second thoughts on getting one going now? ???

I would love to read your blog! I'll admit that pictures do go a long way in helping with readership. And I totally get the "under construction" thing. I recently started a new blog, but haven't gotten past 2 posts yet. :P

Cheryl, I will put it in the boards member info. area as soon as I get a first post done.  I just about have the homepage layout figured out, so maybe by tomorrow with any luck. :)

Leah, your new blog is pretty!  :)  I've bookmarked it!

I agree Leah.  Really pretty.  I may need some pointers. :)

Pick a "theme" - think of your 3 favorite blogs, what do you like on their page? For me, I wanted a soft and simple theme. I do plan to change the header when I have more mountain pictures to add.

Boise. :) But it's probably not going to be our long term home, as we'd love some acreage in the hills or mountains.

You aren't far from us.  We are in Canyon County in Wilder.
