Three Things Not to Do as a Blogger

I think I'm guilty of all three. Definitely the first two. And obviously that is not my hand. My arms are that hairy and I'm left-handed! 

1.) Don't change your name constantly | I am the queen of "rebranding" and renaming. From Lala Land to Howdy Girl to The Laura Way,  I've done it all and I've lost a lot of people that way. When you start out blogging, really focus on a name you want. I'm so whishy-washy about names, it can take forever to finally settle on something. 
2.) Don't Move Your Blog. Only to Move It Back a Month Later | Surprise! The host I had just wasn't working out, so I moved back to blogger. You can say what you want about blogger, but it's free and "free" is a college student's favorite word. When you decide to move your blog (from blogger to wordpress, let's say), make sure you can make the financial commitment long-term. 
3.) Don't Only Share Your Stuff | Especially on twitter, you need to share other's content too. It makes you seem a lot nicer and you seem like less of a snobby person who only wants to share their own content. The formula is supposed to be 80%/20% theirs and yours, but I know I'm definitely not that good at it. This is definitely one I need to work on!
What are some of your "don'ts" of blogging?
