Good photography can make a huge difference to your blog and how it is considered by others. Very few successful bloggers have poor photography skills; In fact, most of the bloggers earning a living from their blogs have a considerable degree of photography skill; some as you will have seen are incredible.

A couple of weeks there was a bit of an uproar among Instagram users, when the Facebook owned social network announced a change in their current algorithm. As from yesterday Instagram are showing images in your feed depending on your interests and relationships to the accounts posting in your feed. Gone* is the chronological feed we have come to love from Instagram and …
Bloggers rock! Bloggers are hot property, whether they blog about food, fashion, family, lifestyle or one of the countless other niches, bloggers can now be global influencers. I don’t know about you, but I find that hugely exciting. Many of us started our blogs as a hobby and have watched them develop into something much more than that. Something that in …
They might not be the Oscars, but the bloggers very own yearly awards in the form of the MADS (MAD Blog Awards) and the BIBs (Brilliance in Blogging Awards) have both opened for voting. They are met with mixed reaction from bloggers. Some people become semi-obsessed with canvassing for votes and others barely acknowledge that voting has begun. I think in …
I have always loved photography and over the last few years, since starting my blog, I have really tried to up my game and raised the standard of my pictures.

Last week, in the first part of this post I introduced some of you to the term a ‘Sticky blog‘. If you didn’t catch that post you can check it out here.

What is a sticky blog? I know, it sounds a bit weird doesn’t it? A sticky blog? What bloggers mean by this term is a blog that makes the reader want to stick around. They will read one post, then will see something else and click on that, maybe visiting a couple of posts before they leave your blog. Then, and this is …
I think there is a misconception among some bloggers that using hashtags is not cool and can seem spammy. If you think this, then you’re wrong. If you have a massive following, then your fans will see your images in your feed and you will get likes from these fans. However, if you’re looking to build your likes and followers …
I love being inspired. A gem of information from a blogging friend, reading a blog, looking at a image; there are so many ways in which our creativity can be sparked. Also sometimes that nugget of information gleaned from other blogger will not only inspire us, but can also make our life easier by highlighting a process that could work …
A few weeks before Christmas I was invited on a press trip to the French Riveria by Bridgestone Tyres. I was lucky to travel to Rome with them last year and doubly blessed to receive this invitation too. Last Tuesday, I set off to begin my adventure and I wanted to share it with you.

One of the greatest gifts to come from blogging for me has been a passion for photography. I am always looking for ways to improve my skill and create pictures which evoke feelings in others.

Wow, I can’t believe my little blog is 2 years old. I think this post might be quite emotional for me to write, as my blog means a lot to me and it has given myself and my family so much. One day, two years ago, I was talking to a friend who had started a scrapbook documenting her families memories after …
I remember when I first started my blog, writing a post, publishing it, only to get about 30 or so views. In those early days there was hardly any interaction and I am not sure if anyone ever shared any of my posts. I had a few people following me on social media, but there was a definite tumbleweed about …
I still find telling people I’m a blogger is a little weird. Blogging is a much less well know career than a Nurse, for example, and so people don’t always know what it means or what you actually do as a blogger. With this in mind I thought I would share a day in my life as a mummy blogger with …
I have been blogging for 22 months and cannot really remember my life before blogging; yet two years ago I knew nothing about this world and had never even read a blog!

Welcome back to ‘5 Things’. This week I am sharing; You need to be a blogger Time – The amount of time you need depends totally on what you want to get out of your blog. If you just want to blog a couple of times a week, then you will obviously need less, than if you want to make blogging your …
