Ah yes, the life of a blogger. What exactly does that mean? It means I get to share stuff with you via my ramblings posts. Well, it is a whole lot more involved then that and now that I am seriously, truly, really digging in {in hopes of growing and maybe making some money doing what I love} — I can easily get caught in 50 things at once. I constantly have several tabs open at once and I am always cutting and pasting. It’s never ending and I often hop around from one idea to another. My most open tabs? Facebook for sharing, Pinterest for pinning and then there is the blog hopping that happens when you add your stuff to a linky party. It’s a very social thing really.
Now one of my goals aside from always adding new posts is to do something ‘bloggy business‘ related daily. Sometimes this involves reading something that a blog savvy person has written, other times I am just checking out other blogs to get ideas for crafts, advertising, etc {in other words I am looking to see “how do they make this work”} and somedays I am just learning something new like how to get Twitter and Pinterest buttons on my Facebook page. Oh and one of my favorites? Meeting with other people that are on this journey whether they blog, own an Etsy shop or even a local business. I think it’s fun to learn about what other people are up to and as I mentioned in a post last week, you never know what kind of helpful information you can learn or share with someone.
My ’lesson’ for today was learning a little about Pixlr. Wow. I am feeling giddy over this new tool {and thankful to my friend Tracy at Made from Pinterest who shared this fabulous site with me}. It’s definitely a bit of a toy cause it’s so fun. I don’t have Photoshop but I have a feeling that it is it’s own version of Pixlr. Again, I have nothing to compare too! I love graphic design although I have no idea of what I am doing so I need the tricks and tips. I love adding words and fun fonts to my photos and I love how quickly some fun editing can change the whole look of a blog post. Have you explored Pixlr? If not, you should. It’s so much fun!!
