It’s so fun to read a post and see yourself out of the blue! =) The quote on vlogging came from my first blog conference this weekend (Food Blog South) and I’m excited about challenging myself to do a little more vlogging to really build relationships with my readers.
that sounds awesome, Heather!! I’d love to hear more about your experience and what you laerned at Food Blog South! Are you blogging about it!?
I posted an overview post today, although I haven’t posted the tips & tricks I learned (I actually asked that today on the post – if people would be interested in those details). It was really fun and a great way to meet other bloggers!
I love the Tweets for Last Week feature! Fantastic addition. And many thanks for including my giveaway, I so appreciate it.
