Bloglovin Challenge

Okay so here is the problem, I have a Bloglovin button on both of my blogs and they are getting quite the attention lately. I am not complaining, but I do have a personal policy to follow anyone who follows me especially on Bloglovin. So my problem is I haven't been very fair. I have followed everyone back who is following me, But have I read any one those posts? Nope, not a one. And I feel this is terrible of me as a follower of any blog. I mean I would hate to have all these followers and they don't or wont read my posts.

So, I am putting myself to the challenge of actually reading the blogs I am subscribed to. I am calling it the Bloglovin Challenge. I did however have to hit the dreaded marks all as read button, so I can get a fresh start. I don't know how many blogs I follow through Bloglovin, but I will attempt to read and comment on as many as I can as they are posted. I will leave a comment and a link behind every post.

What are your Bloglovin habits? Do you actually use Bloglovin?

Throughout February I will be posting a link to this post on all my social networks for maximum exposure. all I ask is that you return the favor and subscribe to those who subscribe to you!

Let give everyone a chance to shine! No matter what type of videos you make , All are welcome.

From house to home

I am sitting here staring at the screen, worried about the fact that I have been away for so long, My YouTube channel has been dormant but steadily growing subscribers right now I stand at 171 subscribers.

My blog themakeupsquid.com I stand at 50 followers of the blog, 174 follow my bloglovin profile and through Google I have 67 followers.

I have gotten some products sent to me to try out, but they are at my old address, I am having them forwarded here.  I also got a perk from klout that should be coming in I will have that forwarded also.

My camera is in the garage buried in a box under other boxes so I can't film anything. I am worried about my blog getting lost in a sea of other blogs.

I find myself posting here most of the time because I have nothing worthy for themakeupsquid.com.
I added some affiliate links on the side bar, they are getting clicks here and there but nothing special.

I am worried I have clouded up the side bar, I have to figure out a way to make it look, not so much like a circus. I have been considering changing the layout again, not the banner I love the banner, but the lay out itself I feel needs a redo.

I think I am going to make the links smaller. I have ideas for posts, but I am unable to get them on the blog at this time. I really need some type of notebook for post ideas.

I need to take this step by step. A blog is like a new house or apt. Its a blank canvas that needs love and some decor. Nothing will stay in its original place, but as time goes on, everything will find its permanent place and become a home.


How to take my blog from house home?

Goals: 
Change blog layout.
Stream line the affiliate links.
Format my posts.
