Can you find my blog?

An article by Rachel    Comments Off

No! After reading craftblog advice, I know why. I’ve failed to advertise myself. Before I list all my marketing tasks, I want to explain why I blog.

Blogging combines several interests into one task. It requires technical know how, creativity, and content that inspires me. While I’ve included some knitting, quilting is my preferred craft. Read Why I quilt. While my blog has yet to reach my full vision, it serves the purpose of bringing my creativity activities together. Really, it is all about me.

If its all about me, why do I want others to read my thoughts? I believe in the power of groups to spawn creativity. Not long ago, I participated in a quilt class that last 6 months. In this class, I learn a lot from the instructor. However, I learned even more from my peers. Now the blogs that I read inspire me to create. I want to be apart of that creative energy.

What changes will I make? My ideas come from the Whip Up article and Google.

1. Improve my pictures. I’m going to purchase daylight balance compact flourescent bulbs. At least one room in my house will be a good place to take pictures.
2. Post at least twice a week.
3. List my favorite blogs on my site, and then use them.
4. Comment on other blogs without over killing it
5. Participate in a meme. I’m leaning towards a Month of Softies. I like the theme for February.
6. Add a header to my homepage. It will contain important words like: quilt, blog, and creative. I need a cool tag line.
7. Verify the Title tag in my pages. It needs to contain the right keywords.

I’m off to improve my site.
