Hi everyone, I am after a favour from you
all and offering a favour in return. I set my blog up in the early months of
2012 and I’m in the process of cleaning it up a bit, sorting out the links,
etc. and I thought I would ask for a bit of help.
I find it really interesting visiting so
many different sites so I always try and add them to my blog roll. I may not
have the time to go into all of them in-depth or visit them regularly but it’s
great to see what people are up to, or to go to specialist company sites to
learn and develop my skills. I have a focus on art and literature of course,
with a particular interest in indie sites but it’s easy to lose track of so
many different strands of information, so that’s why I have always kept the
links, some naturally stop being updated, especially review sites and
individual’s blogs, which is why I am trying to clean my links up more often.
However, this weekend I am spending some time on it so…
For
You
Art
& Literature
(General links to interesting sites)
Writing
& Social Media Tools
(Sites that can help both professionals and
independents to develop)
Writer
Websites
(Specific websites run for/by an author,
professional or indie)
Indie
Websites
(Specific websites on the subject of indie
writing/publishing)
Writing
Blogs
(Blogs that aren’t for an actual author, rather
a genre or news site, etc.)
Review
Sites
(Websites and blogs that are book review
sites, any genre, professional and indie)
Free
eBooks
(Specific websites that showcase free
ebooks listings)
2. I am happy to have guest posts on my blog
as long as they are literature related, authors, editors, technical, marketing,
social media, etc.
For
Me
1. I think it is about time to have a
personlised/tailored background image rather than one of the templates that
Blogger provides. I have a few ideas but it would be great to hear from anyone
who has any suggestions; perhaps you have seen some really great ones on your
blog-travels and could recommend something?
2. Just general feedback on the look and feel
of both the site and the posts, except the background image of course ;)
because I am sticking with Blogger, I’m not going to switch to Wordpress, etc. but it would be nice to have any feedback you feel like giving. I’m all ears J
For any of those points leave a comment on
this blog or email me directly at r.rankine@thinkingplainly.com
I have much more free time this year and I
am focusing (most of) my efforts on writing so hope to be blogging more regularly
and with more attached media, so any advice would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks everyone, have a great weekend!
