The two best pieces of blog advice I’ve ever received. And now I’m passing it on to you.

by ~Tina on July 19, 2011

There will always be someone who doesn’t like the theme you use, or what you write about, or how often you blog, or how many buttons you have in your side bar, or if you monetise your blog.

Can’t please everyone.

Your blog, your rules x

Loving your style and your attitude! It certainly provides a light beaming brightly above when everything is just…. rude.

LOL. I hope my recent post didnt inspire this!

Tina Gray July 19, 2011 at 8:49 pm: Just popped over and left a comment, and then another comment because I made a booboo. Heh.

Dorothy @ Singular I July 19, 2011 at 8:42 pm

LOL, I was about to use that as my tag line, or something along those lines. Kind of fed up with "advice"… Go Tina!

Tina Gray July 19, 2011 at 8:54 pm

I read something you wrote today somewhere about it becoming more like a job. I've been there and that's when I felt like I needed to pull back otherwise it would have been easy to just delete the whole thing.

Gotta keep it fun! xx

Dorothy @ Singular I July 19, 2011 at 9:05 pm: Yep, all this PR stuff, which is getting me nowhere, is work. I hate it. If they came to me, fine, but they’re not. I’ve done what I’m prepared to do, now back to doing what I want to do.

Laney @ Crash Test M August 20, 2011 at 6:07 pm

I've been almost terrified of installing Disqus because so many people seem to hate it. But I love it!!! What is soooo wrong with it. Here I am using it quite happily and without incident . . .
So, I reckon I might give it a spin.
