Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I'm a huge proponent for making sure that links open in new windows, and I realized I had not double-checked this blog post. Thank you for the great reminder! Love the idea of making sure your last tweet or share of the day is about someone else. Karma is real. <br />Best,<br />JenniferJennifer Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07937481595933711548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3613241680321339867.post-12423478693424763852017-07-24T19:51:01.908-05:002017-07-24T19:51:01.908-05:00Thanks for the thoughtful post.

In response, you forced me to reflect on what I myself would consider as the 'basics'. I have recorded my thoughts here (https://readwriterespond.com/2017/07/back-to-blogging-basics/).Aaron Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779244166190777973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3613241680321339867.post-5386167479219552962017-07-24T09:00:52.323-05:002017-07-24T09:00:52.323-05:00Cheers for the great suggestions! I have a similar...Cheers for the great suggestions! I have a similar post called "The Care and Feeding of your Blog" which I now may have to update thanks to your great work! (with links back to you & your content of course!) <br /><br />I would add, make sure every link you include on your blog opens another window or tab. This way, your readers can easily navigate back and continue reading the original blog and don't get "lost" on embedded links. To do this on Blogger make sure to check off "Open this link in a new window" or look for the option of the target, new window or new tab. <br /><br />Another suggestion, not flooding your Social Media feeds with all your own content, graphics, sayings, hashtags, and promotions. When people land on your blog or Social Media feeds it should not be all about "you, you, you." <br /><br />Definitely agree with #11 Pay it forward, leave comments on other people's blogs, share other people's content, give encouragement liberally and self promote sparingly. I try to make sure I never go to sleep with a Tweet or a share that's about my own content - feels like good karma! <br /><br />Cheers!<br />~Gwyneth @GwynethJones - The Daring Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00455804690126231910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3613241680321339867.post-45810752986622372382017-07-22T11:56:01.267-05:002017-07-22T11:56:01.267-05:00Janice, so glad you were able to get a few tips as...Janice, so glad you were able to get a few tips as well as affirmation for what you're already doing!

Thankfully there are some shifts that will allow me to get back to blogging regularly.

Most recently, I've had several life events that have curtailed my blogging, and I've had to remember that balance means different seasons have different priorities.
