Feature & Follow Friday - What I've Learned

Alison Can Read Feature & Follow

Gain new followers and make new friends with the Book Blogger Feature & Follow! This is a blog hop that allows bloggers to gain new followers and find some awesome new blogs to follow themselves!

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee's View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host has a blog that they feature each week!

So, if you're a blogger, come join in on the fun!

Here's today's question -

Q: Share something you’ve learned about book blogging or just blogging in general in the last month.

Oh my!  As a relatively new blogger (I've been blogging for about 6 months or so), I feel like I am still constantly learning new things.  Just recently, Roxanne over at Bewitching Book Tours sent out a great email to her new tour hosts, which I thought was a great idea!  I learned a lot from just this one email - some things that probably should have been obvious (like the fact that "top post" means that the post should be the last post of the morning, not the first - um, oops!) and some that were just great information (like a service to use to automatically put my posts up on Twitter).

I also just finally learned how to schedule a post earlier this month - I know it's not hard, I just never noticed that option over there. I'm sure there are tons more obvious things like this that I will be figuring out as I go along.  Still, I'm proud that I don't completely feel like a newbie anymore.  I think I've made some real progress!  

Now, I've got to go read what everyone else has learned this month because I'm sure I'll learn some more new things too!

Hello, Nicole. Thanks for dropping by my FF. I am a new blogger too and everyday, there are so many things to learn. And that's one of the reason why I am so hooked into book blogging. It's a pool of bookish information.

Following you on bloglovin!

Sure, Kathy - Just go to Twitterfeed.com and register your blog there. It automatically puts your blog posts up on your Twitter feed! (I have to admit that I am pretty Twitter illiterate - I'm getting there, though!)
Hi Nicole!! Thanks for stopping by my FF. I'll check out the Twitter Feed! I'm still getting the hang of Twitter too lol! So much to learn =)
Hi, I just started following you. Here is my blog: http://www.michaelscifan.us
Awww, it's cool that you're learning new things! Scheduling ahead is so awesome - I'm currently scheduled into October. It's mostly because I need to be, since I'm off to college in a week and a half. I won't have as much time to blog! And Twitter is your best friend when it comes to pimping out your blog! Just... not *too* much ;)

Thanks for visiting my blog! I'm an old follower. I'm also a sort-of new blogger as well - I've been blogging for eight months, which isn't really that long. But, feel free to hit me up if you have any bloggy questions! I'd be happy to help :)
