7 Things I Wish I Did Differently As A New Blogger
January has come which means its that time again where many people set a new years resolution to start a blog. Most of these blogs will fail, but some don’t. I started my blog at new year and here I am 7 years later still blogging. I’ve learned a lot over that time, so I thought I would share 7 things I wish I did differently as a new blogger. There is a reason for me doing this. I don’t want any bloggers to make the same mistakes I did when getting started in the whole blogging world.

How has everyone’s festive season been? My immune system thought the best way to say goodbye to 2019 would be if I came down with a cold once university was finished. I’m not even joking.

Ghost Shell | Pipdig WordPress Theme Review
Recently I had a little revamp of my blog and as part of it bought a new WordPress theme. I’ve seen so many people on Twitter talk about the Pipdig WordPress themes so that was one of the places I looked at and eventually bought from. I’ve heard so much hype about Pipdig that I’ve actually avoided it because of that. But after buying one of their themes I was pleasantly surprised by how good it turned out to be. PIPDIG WORDPRESS THEME REVIEW Pipdig is a UK based company which creates blog themes for Blogger and WordPress blogs (self-hosted blogs, not WordPress.com). They make nicely designed affordable blog themes.…

How To Write A Blog Post
Today I thought I would share my process for writing a blog post. It may sound like a tiny detail, but writing technically good posts really helps your blog to grow. I also have a few tips on how to make your blog posts better. Photos: The first thing I do when starting a new blog post is take the photographs. You don’t have to do it the same way but I find that being able to see the photos helps me write the blog post. You don’t need a fancy camera for taking photos, my advice is to always use the best camera you have at hand. If I’m…
