Part three of: “Stylizing Your Content”.
I’ve decided to focus on WordPress for this series of posts because it seems most of you use it. However, most of the customization tips use html and css so they can be applied to many other blogging tools such as Movable Type, Blogger, etc. I will be using the […]

Part two of: “Stylizing Your Content.”

Okay, so you’re not a designer nor do you know very much about code. That’s fine. We’ll keep it simple (for now) and show some ways to beautify your stock looking content. We’ll put a dress on it, give it a nice waxing, clip its nails, find it a date […]

The paragraphs are non-existent and the lines of text seem to blend into one giant glob of black on white.

Rules:

The person tagged must copy the word (”Blego”) and paste the definitions of the word contributed previously by the people who did the meme.

I decided to forgo the post I had ready for this morning to write about something that has very recently affected me.

Creativity comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Whether we need a quick inspirational pick-me-up to jump-start our writing, a change in our visual surroundings to motivate brush strokes, a funny anecdote to enhance that speech we’ve been stressing over, or just a moment to smile, laugh, cry, or vent - it’s the inspiration we […]

This is a continuation of my previous post: What One Month of Blogging Has Taught Me (and some stats).
“You might want to expand on your traffic generating methods. So many people are looking for ways to gain more readers.” - Dave Origano
