You can find Ali and I together at the book’s Blog (and her personal blog) The Cleaner Plate Club. And you can always find me at my Kitchen with recipes and posts in between, I hope, writing a next book. Well, the first one has to do well for that to happen … cross your fingers for us.
Hmm it appears like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any suggestions for first-time blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.
I think just like any other type of writing, you need to find your authentic voice and write about something you are passionate about. You could do all the other blogging things just perfect, but if the content lacks passion, or is not good writing, it won’t do well.
As for structure and and learning how to get traffic, etc., try the site Problogger.net. There are many good tips there that you’ll find helpful for the blog format specifically. Good luck to you!
