Oh since you're from London have you heard the news about Sam Pepper? HAHA, mine's just a QUOTE. Nothing special about it. :D

I looked at the site and it was priced $35? Is that different from what you're using? I'm really curious since when I get enough audience maybe I'll think of switching to wordpress.

Using women as'sex'tools is very bad..I mean i can go on but that would be a bit weird!
He just deserves to die and that's all i have to say to this!

But if you saw some of his videos you could see him trying to stick his tongue into random girls' throats and one was where he EVEN HAD HIS FRIENDS SCARE THE GIRL BY HAVING THEM SURROUND HER LIKE THEY WERE GOING TO RAPE HER. So I agree with your opinion WHOLE HEARTEDLY.

Have you seen the video by an anonymous person? She was talking bout how Sam wanted to hook up with her and stuff..

It's $35 if you're planning on purchasing just the program itself. Because I'm currently self- hosted with Creative Whim, I pay an $8/month fee to keep my site going, and it includes the "tweak me" theme.
When you switch to wordpress, I'd suggest to blog under wordpress.com which is free. Wordpress.org is little more complicated and expensive especially if your main career doesn't revolve around blogging. There's also self- hosting, like what I'm doing.
When it comes to receiving traffic to and from your blog, I've learned that it's just a matter of how much you interact within the book blogging community and your content of course ^_^

Oh. Yeah seal-hosting is where the .wordpress is taken out right? And is replaced with .com only. Well when I first started out blogging, I was faced with the hard task of choosing blogger vs. wordpress. I would've chosen wordpress but the free one had a limit or something and I didn't like the fact of paying when I'm just starting out so that's why I chose blogger. :D

Yes, that's where the wordpress.com is taken out. I faced the same thing. I would've ended up choosing blogger as well but I knew that I wanted to end up self- hosting my blog which was why I stayed with wordpress. And I ended up getting used to wordpress first hehehe
But yea! You should totally try out self- hosting!

Either Blogger or Wordpress since they're the most popular.
If you want something easy to use but lacks some functions but IS TOTALLY FREE, then you should use Blogger. Another plus is that there are a lot of online tutorials for editing your blogger template online.
Wordpress is better if you want something that looks more professional but you have to pay if you want to have the premium features. :)

Hehe! I'll just stick to one blog for now :D
How do you like blogging so far? When did you start?
elyssa marie: well what I do is just copy what I post on my blog to there. :D So it would be easier.
rebecca: I was feeling goosebumps already from your story but it ended up being hilarious! Haha, I hate to leave but it's pretty late here but if you still wanna talk you can messagee or something. :)Elyssa: Same to you elyssa. :)
MESSAGE ME GUYS IF YOU WANT. ::)
Hi everyone, I'm Gem. I'm 24 (25 in 16 days) and I'm a teacher in North Wales, UK. I absolutely adore young adult fiction. Some of the literature out there is amazing and I'm excited to get lots of recommendations and advice about my own writing too. I've just finished reading 'The Winner's Curse' by Marie Rutkoski. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I just wish I could read all day long! If any one has any book discussions that I can get involved in, please let me know. I'm still trying to navigate around the site.Hope you have all had a great start to the New Year and I look forward to hearing from you! Gem
I'm Katy. If have to say my fav book is TFIOS, Wonder, Hush Hush series and Cassandra Clare books.
Hi everyone I'm Hailee! I'm 17 almost 18 years old, but I can tell you by the age of 50 I'll still be reading Young Adult. I've currently finished reading Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe and Fanart (yes I'm a softy for a good LGBT read and btw I don't think I've ever read better books). Thought for the new year I could broaden my horizons and try new genres besides dystopian and LGBT. Looking forward to see all of your guys' recommendations :~)
Hello everyone my name is Jia and I am always in search of a great book to read. My fave books so far have been the hunger games series, harry potter series and divergent series. I also love memoirs of a geisha and the great Gatsby. Do tell me of 'unputdownable' books as I am looking for a book to read that I cannot tear away from haha. Nice to meet you all. Look forward to hearing some recommendations
Hey! I'm Amber and a few of my faves are Reflections Series by Dean Murray, Hunger Games, Vampire Hunters Daughter, The Water Keepers! Mortal Instruments and I could go on and on! I'm always up for new suggestions , please!
Hi I'm Cassidy O. I sort of just joined Goodsreads. I have published my own YA novel, but some of my favs are THG, Conversion, the Lunar Chronicles, the Obsidian Mirror series (although that's somewhat middle-grade), and of course Harry Potter!

I tend to stray away from very heart-wrenching books since I AM A CRY BABY! but when I do I remember the book and don't forget it. :D So how is life there in Australia? "
@Christine
Completely understandable! Those books aren't always for everyone. Life is Australia at the moment is HOT HOT HOT...
Where one month into Summer and the heat is sometimes very unbearable even on days when the sun isn't out it is still very hot.
Hey, I'm Natalie, 19 and from the land down under. I love reading books but rarely find time to during my University's study period, gotta live it up during the breaks! I love almost every genre but have recently been giving Fantasy a good shot. I adore horror, sci fi and thrillers alike, especially psychological thrillers, and obviously YA novels. My favorite book would be The Passage by Justin Cronin :3
Name: Delaney/Laney, I love YA but dont really love fantasy/sci-fi, My favorite Books are probably Harry Potter, Looking for Alaska, On the way to find out. Favorite authors would defintely be Lauren Myracle, lisi harrison, John Green. A random fact is that i am trying to run a half marathon by the end of the year! Also, I love monograms!! Super excited to be a part of this group! Hey everyone!!

I am currently reading The Passage by Justin Cronin. It's the first time I've ever decided to read something so full with so many pages! It's great- I'm really enjoying it. I also Love YA too
Hey everyone. I'm Marcella and 18 years old. Love YA/NA, Fantasy, Dystopia, Romance...pretty much everything fiction.Books I love are the Bloodlines series, The Lunar Chronicles, Throne of Glass series, The Darkest Minds series, all of Cassie Clare's books and all of Colleen Hoover's books. (A lot more but those were the ones off the top of my head)
Hey, I'm Milena and the love I feel for YA books and books in general is huge. My favourite authors are J.K.Rowling, John Green, Tolkien, Rick Riordan and Cassandra Clare. Harry Potter is my favourite series ever and I never get tired of rereading it. I get too emotionally attached to my book ships which is why I tend to avoid books with love triangles, but sometimes they sound so interesting that I have to read them. I never really regret it, but the feels are incredible. I'm ourlittleinfinity46 on Tumblr and if any of you ever need to talk to someone, you can message me. I'll probably start happy jumping if you do. So, that's it, I guess. Bye!

Hi, my name is Clare and I will read pretty much anything with fighting, fantasy, dystopian, young adult themes. I loved Cinda Williams Chima's series and of course Legend to name a few.
Hey guys, I'm Zoe! I am 16 years old. Some of my favorite book and series are Looking for Alaska, Maze Runner series, Darkest Powers series, Vampire Academy series and Burn for Burn series! I enjoy young adult, parnormal and romance books.

Well that's pretty EXCITING. I remember when Bloody Mary was so popular in our school as a way to test a person's bravery and we have to say Bloody Mary 13 times and she would appear in the mirror. Me being the coward that I am never participated. :D Have you tried anything similar to this? Are there real sightings?
