I just want it to happen right away and I know it takes time- so thank you for calming me down. One question, I am not sure how to join group boards on Pinterest, can you offer any suggestions? My blog is about crafting easy to make cocktails at home http://thirstygals.com/ and I have found a few boards and pinners to follow, but I'm not sure where to find the right group boards. Thanks in advance for any advice!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01923863945080560196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-6237506069578767262016-01-24T09:05:32.527-05:002016-01-24T09:05:32.527-05:00Hello, I'm new to the blogsphere and am having...Hello, I'm new to the blogsphere and am having a problem getting people to read my blog.

I have basic Photoshop skills but Picmonkey has been a huge help during days when I couldn't figure out how to touch up a poorly lit photo. Haha. I have only been blogging for 2 years and it has been such a huge treat. Thanks for all of these tips Virginia!

After blogging since 2009, I've now reached a point where I want to do some really significant changes. Even as a well known blogger in Norway, I need inspiration to find my way from here.<br />You are such an inspiration to me, and I just want to let you know that even knowing most of the good and bad in this "blog world", I find your skills and "know how" so valueable!

I am learning to stay true to myself, which you mentioned. I enjoy writing and giving advice, and I just want to get better at it, in hopes other people will enjoy what I have to say. I am finally learning the world of pinterest, thanks for the advice on how to use it properly. I am definitely going back to spice my boards up and make them look more appealing. I struggle with pictures because I have a crap camera, but like you I am making the best of what I have by editing. Congratulations on your pregnancy!! How exciting!! Love your blog! <br /><br />XOXO<br />Alethea <br />http://thepowerofthepretty.blogspot.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13277107056909800186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-29798890460381521522015-03-19T14:52:34.041-04:002015-03-19T14:52:34.041-04:00But I love your style so thank you for all the goo...But I love your style so thank you for all the good stuff, and the words (by you), and the pics (by you).

The 2nd and 3rd tips stood out to me because it seems like the biggest thing to do on a blog is round up a bunch of other bloggers work and show it off. I create my own content, so I don't have consistent posts, but what I do blog about is my own work and creations. Plus family comes first, so I am not always creating things just to have something to blog about. I also make YouTube videos, so my blog goes hand in hand with my videos. I pinned this post so that I can reference all of these tips now and in the future!
