Should we share our blogs if we have one? I do, but I don't blog as often as I should. When I do it's either about crafts (yes, I love doing crafts), baking (I enjoy that as well), or writer stuff.http://amandasiegrist.com/
It's nothing too exciting, but I enjoy blogging on occasion.

Author Site & "Blog"
I don't technically blog at all, but I do flash fiction every Monday for my awesome possums (a.k.a. the best readers ever!!)
You can find me at http://www.nicolerlocker.com. I blog a little about my WIPs, a little about new releases, and a lot about my reviews of other books by Indie Authors. I seriously need to figure out how to monetize that thing because I spend all my "free" time writing, reading, and blogging about writing and reading.
I don't have a blog to add, but I did check out all of yours! Amanda, I'm not crafty, but we totally have the love of baking and the love of Christmas in common!

Yay! Christmas is awesome. Just picked up more fat, crafty bottles to make another Santa. I know it's only August, but hey, it's never too early to enjoy a little bit of Christmas.
Ann, sometimes I do post things about Disney on my Facebook! And occasionally on twitter too! I love pretty much all of the animated Disney movies but the princess ones are definitely my favourites! Go team Disney Princess! Amanda, definitely never too early for anything Christmassy!!

So my (oft) neglected blog is: www.hollyblackstone.comIt's a bit dull right now, but it's sort of a big time investment to snazz it up. I host my own domain, (well Amazon does now, so you get the idea), and I need to learn to manoeuvre WordPress competently.
I can be a bit loquacious, so I don't often sit down and write a solid entry, even though I should. =P

And I love the christmas tree. I seriously need to start using these emoticons more. First I gotta figure out how to do that, besides copying and pasting.

Try this site for emoticons . . . http://fsymbols.com/all/

I even find myself singing the songs in the car when it comes on and realize, oh wait, my girls aren't with me, turn the song to something adult-like. Na, this is a great song. *keeps singing*
Edit: It totally deleted my crown on me! How dare they.
Here's the crown for us, I originally posted and it magically disappeared. ♛

Seriously now I'm off to work or I'll be late! Enjoy your day all!

And I had a lovely day, weather is awesome, well a little windy, but sunshine and warm, so hanging out with the kiddies outside was really nice!
Annie wrote: "Mistress Ann will write you a note if you're late, Princess Jane ^_~"Thanks Mistress Ann!! ≧◠‿◠≦
Made it on time, with a couple of minutes to spare, but I hate to be late (my OCD again!) so I always leave extra time!
Mod
Man, talk about frustrating! I went to sync my blog with Goodreads and it always hyperlinks (is that right word?) almost all of the blog post with one little link I put in the post. Drives me nuts. So I deleted it to restart it, sorta, if that even makes sense. I clicked on my RSS feed button on my actual blog and it doesn't work. Talk about annoying. Although, Weebly has been doing things to annoy me, soooooo, I've been thinking about changing to WordPress. Who here uses what? And do you like it?
Mod
I started with Blogger (cuz that's all I knew) then switched to WP less than 2 weeks later haha! I've also used Squarespace to host a podcast but my buddy picked it. I kinda hated the interface, actually *smirks*
I've also heard that Weebly and Wix are quite popular amongst authors. Is Weebly the WYSIWYG one?
Hugs,
Ann
Wait? What was the last question? What is WYSIWYG? I'm currently looking at Wordpress right now and liking the options they have for making it look pretty:)
Mod
What you see is what you get ^_^
Weebly is not bad. Easier to work with than Wordpress
I have my blog on weebly and the literary review is also on weebly

I don't know why I was having issues, but I've had a few with Weebly and I just couldn't take it anymore. So, yeah, I took the plunge and switched to Wordpress today. It was a little confusing and daunting at first, but once I got the hang of it, it went better. I could probably spruce it up a little more, but I like what I have so far.It even looks so much prettier on the mobile version:)
Here's my new site. Disregard the other post way in the beginning of this thread for my wonderful blog. This is my new one.
https://amandasiegrist.wordpress.com/...
Haha! I only have one post so far though....gotta get to work and add some. Any requests? Crafts, baking, writing,....let me know!
Mod
EDIT: Wordpress FTW!
*grins like an idiot* What does OP and FTW stand for?Edit: And thank you, I'm still gonna tweak it some, but I do like how it's looking so far.
Mod
Original Post and For the Win ^_~
Oh, okay. I've seen it so many times and just never asked. *laughs* Now I know. Thanks:)
Can you post even if you don't blog? I just made a website to put all of my stuff in one place :)I haven't bought a domain name either, but I hope that's okay.

http://www.writerscookbook.comIt's got a few bits about my fiction (I'm planning to set up a separate website for that eventually), but it's mostly aimed at writers. It addresses stuff like motivation, productivity, self publishing, mental health, and other things that affect our writing. I try and put up a couple of posts a week :)
Mod
Oooh, you're nice and active on your blog!!
*high fives*
Thank you! *high fives back*I like to hope it's good advertising for my upcoming nonfiction book, which is based on a similar topic!

I loved your blog How Not to Edit Your Book.
I was constantly finding excuses not to self publish my book, so last week I decided I just had to do it or I never would. I work a full time job, but I have bills to pay, so I had to use free services.
After a couple of days I revised and updated my file because of errors. I, like you, can easily edit someone else's work, but not my own. Even though I used free services, I am going to take money from each pay for revisions.
I've also read books that were published professionally and still had errors in them so don't be too hard on yourself.
