I think it has good content, writing is good. Images always help, I find, as otherwise it's a sea of words. But so far, gripping and informative.

yeah trouble is some of the images i like can not put in but will work on how i add them .This may take some time < looks for work in progress sign>

I don't use images on my blog but I do use links to e.g. news stories/videos to enhance my posts.

Check your spelling before posting. I only skimmed but I can see that there are some typos in your post, that's not a criticism, but if you're putting your blog out there with your name on it for all the internet to read, people will be critical of mistakes and it might well stop them from coming back. When I'm blogging I tend to write out my posts in word first, spell-check them and then copy/paste them into blogger so I know they're accurate before I hit publish.

The content has to be what you want it to be. Think about the kind of audience you want to attract and the message you want to get across.

From my personal perspective that first post didn't read as light-hearted to me, you sounded very bitter and frustrated, which while perhaps understandable, if that's not how you want to be perceived think about how you could adapt your way of writing to come across how you want to.

Also think about your audience. Your blog is out there on the internet for all to see, and potentially to distribute, and to comment on. If your opinions are controversial for instance you may attract negative opinions/comments, think about whether you want to moderate your comments (there is a setting in the settings menu somewhere) so that people cannot post hateful things on your blog without you having some control over that.

Um, not sure what else...

Thank you

Hmm see i did not think it was bitter but guess it may seem that way but then if i posted the honest truth it would be alot harder than it reads

am wanting i guess people to understand life is not easy and it is different doing it on wheels .That brings a extra set of complications ,

So am aware that i do not want to post that it is all sweetness and light becuase it is not .But also want people to see that a sense of humor helps
