Getting into blogging is easy; keeping that blog going and being successful, though, is very hard. Take it from someone who's had several other blogs before and only one took off (this one). So, today I'm going to talk to you guys a bit about things you have to do to have a good blog that you might not read before. (Plus, I've realized that the past couple of posts have been all beauty-related so I need a new post about blogging for you babes! lol!) Let's get started then~

1. Favicon... so incredibly important and no one seems to acknowledge it! The favicon is the little icon by your blog's title in the tabs. It seems that a lot of people don't know that you can change them, no matter if you use blogger or wordpress. For my blogger babes out there, all you have to do is go to Layout and click the little edit buttom under the favicon square! That easy! I can't be the only who gets annoyed and turned off by the default blogger/wordpress favicon!

2. An Aesthetic URL... Maybe it's just me but I think it's really important for your URL to look nice! Not too long, but not too short and it has to be written in a way that it can't be mispronounced -- you know, that sort of thing. Do you guys get me here? lol! 

3. No Need To Spend! Now, I'm not saying this so you don't support our fellow theme makers out there who live off the sales they get~ but if you're just getting started in the blogging world, there are a bunch of free themes out there that look gorgeous! I'm very proud to say that I've never spent a cent in my blog design. How do I do this you ask? Google is my best friend tbh. As an example, here a theme I really love and looks gorgeous! Plus, there's a bunch of blogs that offer free themes like designerblog or websites like themexpose. It might take you a while to find one you really connect to but I never said it was easy!

4. Write what you love! There will be times where you'll write something and you think 'oh, this is just for me! no one would want to read this!' and then you wake up and it's one of your most popular posts. Trust me, this has definitely happened to me and I'm always surprised by it! So, just relax! It's true that you need to pay attention to what is popular and trending in the moment, just like everyone tells you, but don't loose sight of what you want to write.

5. Reply!! This is mostly my own blog's motto, I always try to reply to my comments! I feel like it creates a sense of community on the blog that I love~ Don't close yourself off from you audience! Be friends with them and talk!

And there you go! What are some tips that you think are important? Also tell me down below if you agree or disagree with any of my tips! This post is a bit of a short one but I hope you enjoyed it anyway! Don't forget to follow me on bloglovin' and such! See you soon~

  2. These are all really important tips & like you mentioned, not always talked about. Favicon is a minor & easy fix. :]

  3. I think you're definitely spot on with these tips! Like you, I've had several blogs before my current blog took off, and it wasn't until I figured some of this out before that happened! I wish I would've had someone to tell me this when I was starting!

  7. Most of these tips are dependent on whether or not you have wordpress.com or wordpress.org.
