Mumsnet Talk

Hi,

I'm new to blogging-could I ask for some feedback on my blog please? I have a couple of posts up, but would love to know what kind of changes I could make to improve it before I get much further down the road!

Link is minimumthebare.wordpress.com/ and I am working on the 'About' section at the moment-as I'd like to keep it anonymous, I'm having a think about what to have in there.

I'd love to meet other bloggers, and will be checking out the Style and Beauty blogs-any other recommendations would be great!

Thanks

Oops, just read the bit up there ^ about not being in the MN Bloggers Network-I have applied to join, sorry if I've broken the rules

Good luck with your blog application.

I like that your blog is text based rather than photo based, which is unusual for a style and beauty blog, but think that you might need a photo or two on there.

Then I would suggest you play around with some of the themes on WP, to make your blog look more individual. Use a different photo, one that gives a suggestion of what your blog is about, or incorporates your blog name.

If you link to your twitter account then put a photo on Twitter, and at least a couple of posts. If you don't have time to investigate Twitter, take the link off until you have it up and running.

Your idea is good, and I am interested in seeing where you go from here.

Thank you-I hadn't really thought about photos, but think you're right, it does need something to break up the text and add a bit of interest.

I've added a few more pages (still not done the 'About' page though!) and started tweeting a bit, but will get going properly with that next week.

If anyone else has any feedback, or a link for their blog so I can have a read (and add you as a blog I follow, if it's a good fit) that would be great.

Thanks again!

Here is mine, but it is a very different type of blog. Salt&Caramel

I like it better without the pic at the top. It should be bare. It fits well with the name.

With photos, I would go for strong, bold photos. No fussy photos, or ones with too much detail. Not too many either. It works well without but I think one or two would look good.
