Blogging Your Way

Blogging Your Way All the cool kids have the BYW Friends badge. You can maybe get your own later by keeping your eye on this site. Today marks the very last day of the month-long amazingly awesome blogging e-course class Ive been taking, given by the insurmountable, unsurpassable, super-fantastical Holly Becker of decor8. Ive only been reading Hollys blog for a few months, but I was sucked in quickly by her pretty pictures, beautiful decor design finds, wonderful writing, andwellI can best describe it as inspiration. Shes inspiring both on the page (the screen?) off, and the fact that she lives ( blogs!) her passion is, um, inspirational! When she announced that she was going to offer a blogging e-course to a limited amount of students, and offered a sign-up form to get notified right away, I had only one thought: Duh. Not only is decor8 extremely successful (the blog has almost half a million visitors a MONTH!), but Holly is so sweet, so positive, so thoughtful personable that I knew whatever she put her stamp on would be worthwhile. When she priced the class at less than half of what I thought it would be, I had only one thought: Double duh. Im so glad that I signed up when I did, because Blogging Your Ways sign-up reached 800 students (triple duh) and Holly only kept the first 207 of us! She wanted to keep it small intimate manageable, Im sure every single one of the BYW students is thankful for that.   I loved getting to know every one of the creative types that participated: artists, knitters, architects, Moms, jewelry makers, and even a rug aficionado! Everything   Holly wrote about, everything she said (yes, there were podcasts Ill be posting one soon!), was a gem a spark a take-away. If youve been my reader for a while, you might have noticed the changes Ive made to my blog. Theyre mostly in the sidebar content, to make things more streamlined simple pretty ( alliterated!). In terms of the content, Ive decided to clean house and not be tied to every series on a weekly basis. So if you like surprises, then come back here daily because you never know what youre going to get*! Ive done so much behind the scenes so many weekend hours! so much learned! that I hope dropping in to my lil blog is pleasing and fun and inspiring and sweet and sunshine and rainbows and My Little Ponies. I want you to know that my door is always open Im always happy to have you. There are some people in the BYW class that I have to give a special shout-out too, and I couldnt think of a better way to do that then giving them some link love. If youre looking for a fresh voice, or some new inspiration, or even a recipe on how make homemade ice cream, make sure you visit all of these fantabulous ladies.

Because of Holly the Scribblers, Ive learned so much have some wonderful ideas left to implement! Of course, I value your feedback too, dear readers! Can I ask you now to take a moment and give me some feedback on my blog? Whether its the design or the content, or something technical that you like or dont like, I would love to hear it. It would mean so much to me. Please dont be shy! And if you are shy, then you can fill out this anonymous survey instead.
