Build A Blog

See How Easily You Can Improve Your Blog

Written by Mandy

As I said in my last post I am making improvements to my case study blog, well actually completely changing it.

It’s come to the stage where I can just carry on blogging as usual on the case study blog, or I can really show what I have learned about my journey with digital photography and take it to the next step. Well I am going for the next step option!

Over the next couple of weeks I will be making some major improvements to the blog, which will include completely re-designing the blog, adding some new features and updating the administrative side. So you can see why I need a couple of weeks.

Shopping List…

I am going to need everything from a new theme to even changing the passwords on the back end of Wordpress. So here’s a little look at what you can expect:

• New premium Wordpress theme. I want to use a premium theme because they give better quality than the free themes, and I don’t have the budget yet for a custom one.

• Adding a free weekly newsletter that readers can subscribe to.

• Expanding on the categories and posts to include: more how to articles, new projects and inspirational photographers.

• Upgrading all plugins and even Wordpress if the compatibility with my plugins is ok.

• Buy a DSLR!

Nothing like giving myself a large workload, but I feel held back at the moment so it’s definitely the right time to do it.

Exciting times…

I’m very excited about this because it’s all about the new way I am seeing my blogs, and this one in particular. I have been talking about this in more depth in this post. Up until now I have been putting off any improvements I wanted to make to the blog. Until I had written more posts, or the blog had become bigger, or any other excuse I could think of to stop me from stepping outside of my comfort zone, and trying something new. I’m sure it will be a learning curve and I suspect it will be steep, but that’s all part of the fun, and the achievement. I’ll be talking about it all here.
