I want to thank all of you who follow my blog especially those who I interact with a lot via comments. I never dreamed I would have over 900 followers when I first really dedicated myself to my blog.

I want to celebrate this in a different way than I have before when reaching previous milestones. I would like to share some blogging tips because I have many new followers who are new to blogging.
I also want to invite other bloggers to share blogging tips. Please read my tips first to see what you would like to add or comment on. If you share a tip, please also share a link to your blog.
One ground rule for this is- Meaningful Comments/Tips.
My tips
1- Give yourself permission to explore and experiment to find your voice.
2- Learn from other bloggers and their styles.
3- Interact with other bloggers with meaningful comments not just comments like great post etc.
4- Don’t like and not view. That is one of my pet peeves.
5- Be patient. For most bloggers it takes time to grow their followers.
6-Be Consistent. If you post once a week, post on the same day. If you post twice a week, post on the same days. Then your followers will know when to watch for your posts.
7- Blogging awards are fun, BUT don’t let them be your be all end all. Yes network and have fun, but remember that what will sustain your blog is ORIGINAL CONTENT.
Those are my tips.
I want to thank some bloggers who have been consistent in commenting and interacting with me and invite them to share a tip.
I went with the top 9 because as a Lord of the Rings fan, it makes me think of the Fellowship of the Ring- 9 People.
Again THANK YOU to all who have followed my blog and interacted with me. Please share blogging tips for new bloggers.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
