I am sorry that Your Life, Your Blog is late today! The only way I can describe last week is that a tornado of ballet costumes, bobby pins and sequins thundered through my house and evacuated us to the town Auditorium for the week! We are done, but very exhausted around here! So this week’s [...]

I never really had a huge gripe with Blogger. It worked, [...]
Some of the most meaningful moments on my blog have been written, not by me, but from guest bloggers! I love asking for guest bloggers for times such as vacations, special occasions, holidays, and… well, just because. The tears recently spilled over as the blogging dots were connected in an amazing way. Back in November, [...]

I have been meaning to do a reader survey for a while. “Reader Survey” sounds so impersonal. I really want to learn more about you- who you are, why you read, how I can help and connect with you better. I would appreciate it more than you know if you would take a few minutes [...]
Today’s tip is for Blog Buttons! It’s not so much how to make a blog button, as the size recommendations. Sometimes I really want to share a button on my sidebar, but the size gets in the way. And since switching to this new template there are some limitations as far as space. Most blogger [...]
