encouragement from others

• 

We all need a little encouragement every now and again in this life. That is one of the reasons I got hooked up with WordPress to begin with. Thanks to a fellow blogger I was just reminded of that yesterday. His blog was one of the first ones I followed on here two years ago and I would check him out. http://makeitultrapsychology.wordpress.com

I want to encourage each of you out there to check out other posts and comment on them. We can learn from others everyday. It is a great idea to get to know the others in our blogging community. Plus what a great way to learn from one another. What a great way for us to support one another. #bloggingfundamentals

I have been taking the helpful classes for blogging through WordPress’s own https://dailypost.wordpress.com/blogging-university/.

I do suggest not taking “too” many courses at once. Actually pay attention to “how” many days each course is. Whether you are a new blogger or have been blogging for 2 years plus I feel you can learn something new or go back to your roots to spark something up. I have learned that from the many bloggers I read about here on WP.

During these courses I actually took notes to remind me of things for my knowledge of blogging. Hey they are right when they say “knowledge is power”. I also made folders in my email for each course so I could go back and if need be reiterate what I learned through the course. To be honest anything I have found about blogging has a folder labeled so I can check it out. I have downloaded some e-books in the past 10 days I plan to read and evaluate the information I want to take from it.

I am your basic girly girl who loves things with color and glitter. I love all kinds of pens, pencils, markers and colored pencils. I love notebooks and planners. I love organization. I love to color code things. Yes I am considered weird but a good weird and I am fine with that. But the way I do that helps me feel comfortable and organized. My brain gets too messy with all the information so I need to shelf things and put them in the correct order. For example, when I went back to college I used the same color pen for a class so I knew the time. I continued this for all appts. I continued this in my planner as well as my cell phone. Now I have an iPhone and have not used any new plan since last summer. I am having a hard time to keep up but I am working on a new plan. These things make me feel safe.

I have posted about the blogging courses in the past called Under Construction. Please check it out as I am always finding ways to learn and hear from others. I have also learned a few things from another blogger as well recently, go and give her a look https://jennyinneverland.com

One thing I would love to add to my blog would be a guest blogger. Right now I cannot afford to hire anyone but I think when first starting out someone should just help out and do it pro bono basically. We all need to start somewhere. As I learn more and continue on there is so much more you can do with y our blog and it is so amazing! I say, let us all shoot for the stars! Have a great week everyone and get out there and have an adventure! Kathy
