My friend, Lynn Terry introduced me to a new series last month on How to Be a Better Blogger.

I followed many of her suggestions on improving my Home Decorating blog, and it did wonders! So I decided to spend this month focusing on my personal blog. Here are a few changes I’ve already implemented:

1. Included contact information and my reason for starting this blog on my About Me Page.
2. Started using more pictures in my posts to help illustrate the subject matter.
3. Installed a new header image and revised my tagline to better reflect me and what I’m writing about.

I’m so thrilled to have found the picture of a country road to use at the top of my blog…mainly because it looks just like the road that leads to my home. Yes, that’s what Fluvanna County looks like in my neck of the woods.

I also changed my tagline from “All that matters to me…” to “Valuing Faith, Family & Freedom in Central Virginia” to give my readers a quick & clear overview of the subject of most of my posts.

This makeover is not finished, by any means, but rather I’m just getting started. If you have a blog of your own, I encourage you to check out this series based on the article, 31 Days to Becoming a Better Blogger and implementing these steps yourself. You’ll no doubt be a better blogger as well.
