How To’s

This section will have a random list of how to do… anything really. What you will find is usually inspired by what I have learnt along the way, but feel free to send in what you would like to know how to do to lsubmit2018@gmail.com!

I will do the research and post it up!


How to start a blog

This is my third time opening a WordPress blog. It has been a tiresome journey of doubt and perseverance, but I am always excited to have a reason to write what I think!

  1. Know what you want to write about – this may appear to be very restrictive. You may not necessarily be sure of what you want to write about, so just start with what you like!
  2. Be consistent in your posting – that is the most difficult part. Not only do you have to do stuff, you have to do that stuff CONSISTENTLY.
  3. Be confident – there are times when you may feel as though you are rambling on and on about stuff that people do not care about, but if you have a message to share, then do so! Not everyone will find what you have to say to be their favourite and that is OKAY.
  4. Make it pretty – It took me ages to find out that WordPress had free themes and layouts! I thought I had to pay for it! SO my blog looked as interesting as a dictionary.
  5. Love your blog! – things only grow when you put effort into making them grow! Your blog is like your baby, nurture it.

These are the basic rules I live by when it comes to starting and maintaining a blog. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
