So I've wanted to start a blog for as long as I can remember. So what was holding me back? Myself. I love browsing through all the pretty DIY, food and financial blogs out there on the World Wide Web and thought I would love to be part of that. I just never did it because I was lazy and was scared of all the hard work that would come from blogging.
This all changed when I realized that I was turning 29 this year. I decided to start not one but two blogs, one for whatever is on my mind and one to document the Twenty-Nine Challenges for my 29th year. In preparation of starting my "whatever is on my mind" blog, I started reading up on tips and "how to's" about blogging. I must say it's quite over whelming and it does take A LOT of work to make your blog look pretty. Kudos to all bloggers out there! As I take my first steps into the world of blogging, I will have lots to learn and lots of trial and error. Wish me luck on this journey.
Below are a few sites that I've been browsing to get tips and how to's: (list will be updated from time to time)
