I've noticed some people post a teaser here and then a jump to their personal blogs. Is that considered good form?

  • Reticula: I've noticed some people post a teaser here and then a jump to their personal blogs. Is that considered good form?
    It's perfectly fine but the teaser had best be good or folks won't click (unless they already know you and love your writing.) I generally recommend a combo of full posts and teasers to mix it up and get people accustomed to your writing. :-)

    Denise, the BlogHer Yoda! I think that's great advice, Reticula... "Denise know BlogHer help your numbers, yes!"

    @Denise @KarenLynnn @SunbonnetSmart.com Oh heavens, I imagine leverage all available resources; facebook post, twitter, now Pinterest (Good source for branding maybe??) and then of course chatter (Denise, how did I miss chatter for over an entire year?! lol) Then it's out of our hands~ Denise I have 2 more questions about chatter. Why do I see points? is this what Miss Robin is referring to about numbers?

    @GLRED @KarenLynnn @SunbonnetSmart.com Points? I don't know what you mean by points. Where do you see them? Robin means that posting on BlogHer.com can help increase your page views on your non-BlogHer.com blog. :-)

  • Reticula: Does anybody know of something similar to NaBlPoMo for artists?
    Hmmm what kind of art? There's a photograph a day challenge. http://bit.ly/yBQMfh

    I follow the sketchbook challenge. Each month the theme changes. You follow the prompt and add your entry to their Flickr group. They have a variety of guest artists and media. http://sketchbook challenge.blogspot.com/2012/02february-theme-closeup.html

  • Reticula: February seems like a good month to do another NaBloPoMo. only 28 days/28 posts. I'm committed. Really. I am.
  • Reticula: OMG I got a sparkle! That's good, right? What does it mean? It sounds positively transcendental.
    Giggles. It's just like a warm batch of chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven!

    It means someone likes you. Someone really really likes you. (Or it could mean you're a vampire - either way, it's good.)
    from Denise on January 27, 2012 @ 1:54 pm
    Like Denise said, only instead of a vampire you'd be a sparklepire.
    from sassymonkey on January 27, 2012 @ 1:55 pm
    LOL...I read your post and spankled...um...sparkled the heck out of it!

    Yay you!

  • Reticula: I need to redesign my blog, but I'm struggling to come up with something I love. Does anybody have any favorite blog design websites?
  • Reticula: I'm trying to decide whether to do NaBloPoMo in January.
    It's the perfect start to the New Year and New Beginnings! Go for it!
    from victorias_view on December 27, 2011 @ 10:01 pm
    I enjoyed doing it in Nov. Love the idea of trying in Jan but the reality is not going to happen for me in Jan. Too much on my plate right now. I say give it a go!

    I did a 24 days of blogging thing this month. It was fun but I think I got off easy because I had a theme.
    from sassymonkey on December 28, 2011 @ 6:55 am
    I'd wait for a shorter month :)
    from @meganbroutian on December 28, 2011 @ 9:41 am
    I decided to wait for February. I did it in November and my readers loved it, but it's a big commitment. I'm going to try to get some drafts done ahead.
    from Reticula on January 7, 2012 @ 7:52 pm
  • Reticula: I'm having so much fun with NaBloPoMo. I don't know if I can continue writing a post a day after November, but this is most inspiring!
    You are halfway through the month! Keep it up! You can do it :) *waving pom poms*

About Me: 

I'm passionate about so many things it's hard to know where to start. I'm a writer and slave to my muse, Dolores, who only visits me in the middle of the night. To support us, I teach writing at a small university, and because I'm greedy, I also perform weddings and read tarot cards. I play several instruments, but mainly piano and guitar, and I perform with friends whenever I get the chance. In the past year, I've gotten involved in community theatre and acted in or stage managed several plays. And last summer, I bought a road bike and logged a bunch of miles on bike paths and city streets.

I have two grown children and a brand new granddaughter who smells like the inside of a fairy's wrist. I homeschooled my kids in the suburbs for 12 years, and was married to an Air Force officer for 30 years. I'm divorced now and live in a 110-year-old house in a diverse city neighborhood.

My goal now is to enjoy as many adventures as I can. I write about them on my blog: The Reticulated Writer.
