Blog Staycation Update
This weekend I had the opportunity to co-host a Blog Staycation with Trish, Jen, and Farrah. We had an amazing time connecting with other bloggers, learning new tips and tricks for our blogs, and tackling our blogging to do lists…all without leaving home!
I had the opportunity to do some things that have been on my blogging to do list for a little while now and I’m so excited to share those with you! I hope you’ll find these new features helpful!
So, let me introduce you to a few new things on the blog…
To check out this new Links I’m Loving gallery, simply click on the tab at the top of the page and explore all of these great resources! If you’re a blogger and would like to do something similar on your blog, here is the tutorial I used…super easy!
Let me help you plan your next trip! I am super excited about this feature and it’s been a long time coming! This page is your one stop shopping place for cupcake recommendations, restaurant suggestions, activities, and any other recommendations you need for your upcoming travels! So next time you’re planning a trip, head over to this page by clicking on the tab at the top
If you’re a blogger and would like a map of your own on your blog, here is the tutorial that I used…again pretty easy!
But that’s not all…
…Check out the updated About Me page
…Come back this Fall for some great new series…I am sooo excited about what’s coming y’all!
…Check out the updated tags at the bottom of the posts…if you like a post, they’ll help you find similar posts! Simply click on the tag (they’re right below my signature) and it will take you to a list of similar blog posts.
…There are some great giveaways coming this Fall! So I’d suggest subscribing to the blog (right-hand side of the blog) so you can stay updated when these giveaways happen!
What do you think of the changes?!?
