Armchair BEA: Blogging
- Since today is the BBC in NYC the Armchair BEA topic is all about blogging. Since I am feeling behind the eight ball this morning I am going to use the prompts left and hopefully a little bit more than that but we are going to have to see how it goes. It is just that kind of rainy slow day here in Michigan
- How do you utilize social networking in relation to your blog? What may be the pros and cons of doing so?
Well, I have a facebook page but I really don’t know what to do with it. So any advice would be welcome! I really don’t get it which is sad. I also have twitter and I have been trying to put myself out there are get to know people. I have chatted with a few bloggers and luck for me a few authors.
The biggest con for me is that I get sucked in and all my time goes to it. Ahh!
The biggest pro is getting to know people and getting my blog out there.
- Share some of your favorite blogging technical tips.
Well, honestly, I wish I had some to share but I really don’t. i have used Book Blogging 101 and others like it to get my questions answered. I am pretty new to this!
.
- What are your tips for balance life and blogging?
Isn’t this the question! It is a really tough one. Book Blogging takes time and lots of it. I would be spending the time reading either way so that is not the investment for me. Rather, for me it is the actual blogging and following all the blogs that I do. I have to make sure that I focus on what is really important in my life first and that is my family. My blog comes second but I try not to beat myself up if I have a bad reading week because I had family stuff to do. I think it is just important to remember what the big picture is.
- What genre do you blog about and why?
I read a little of everything and always have. My blog is not genre specific rather about my love of books, all books!
Now that I have gotten this far, I realized that there is something I would like to say. There are some amazing bloggers out there that help those of us who are new or just are looking to figure stuff out. THANK YOU! I know that you all remember what it was like when you started and in part that is why you do it but you don’t have to and I know it takes a lot of time. So thank you!
