Follow Friday


FEATURE AND FOLLOW FRIDAY IS A BLOG HOP PUT TOGETHER BY TWO HOSTS: PARAJUNKEE AND ALISON CAN READ AS A WAY TO HELP BLOGGERS BECOME AWARE OF OTHER BLOGS AND BLOGGERS. 

IT'S A GREAT WAY TO MAKE NEW BLOGGER FRIENDS.




Q: What would you do over if you were to start your blog again from scratch?

Oh my gosh! First off, I think I would have learned a little more about HTML coding and add-ons for blogger. When I started, I just typed and added a picture or two. Now I link to other blogs and have started to use a little HTML coding for different aspects of the blog. Love it!

Beyond that, I am loving blogging! Almost a year and still going strong. People have been so incredibly nice and I've loved all the great books I've discovered. 
Perfect fit for a librarian from Missouri!

    I would be more diligent about tagging my posts correctly. I just went through 500+ posts fixing wrong or missing tags. What a chore!

    Have a great weekend!

    I didn't know much about hmtl before either. Time flies in the blogging world doesn't it? I'm only at six months, but it feels like it's just gone so fast. Here's mine: http://harleybearbookblog.blogspot.com/2012/08/feature-follow-friday-10.html

    I wish I knew more about Html to, but I doubt that will ever happen because I am not tech savy and also because it would probably bore me senceless.

    I liked your Facebook whilst I was here : )

    I actually learnt html in school and had previous designing experiences so that was definitely a plus for me so i get what you mean.

    Learning HTML is a big one! I actually had done website design before I started blogging, but it had been a few years. I'm still refreshing myself on things.

    Nice answer, it's certainly hard to edit layouts and such for the first tie in Blogger.
    Happy Reading! :)

    I know HTML. I used to build my own websites...for fun. Now though, I rarely have time and patience to do it, lol. Wish I did! And I'm so jealous about you being a librarian still :P

    What an awesome question. I would start one just for coupons and one just for books. That way I could make money from the coupons to support my reading habit. =)

    I learned html code from creating pathfinder wikis in library school. I just sort of taught myself some of it. They should offer a course in html for book bloggers!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm following you back!

    I already knew basic html thank god! I wouldn't have liked to be in your shoes at all, however one of the main things I want to change is a theme and I have no idea how to create a lovely one. One day my dabbling will suffice :D

    I think HTML is a common theme this week and I certainly wish I knew more about it. I have a basic grasp now but a lot of the time it's like a foreign language to me.

    Thanks for the follow :D

  37. Lisa MandinaAugust 11, 2012 at 9:13 PM

    I wish I knew more html. I've learned finally how to make links when I post comments, so that I don't just copy and paste the whole address. I feel a little smarter when I do that. I need to learn more though. I'd like to make my pictures look better when I have more than one in a blog post. Maybe some day.Is that Daisy Jane in your picture now? She's adorable!

    I wish I would have known how much your posts look when you add photos. Mine were mostly text in the beginning.

    Your blog looks good but it's funny how many of us want to do more with design. We should all do a design refresher/starter course.

    Great answer! HTML and I don't get along most of the time. :)
