A photo of a tablet propped up on it's side, facing the bottom left corner of the photo. It's open to Once Upon a Bookcase's homepage. In front and just to the left of the tablet, to the left of the photo, is a pale green, hardback notebook with a pink biro on top. They're all on a light grey, fluffy duvet.

Guide to Book Blogging: Getting Started

Part 2: Creating Content & Engagement

I'm continuing with my Guide to Blogging with the second part of Getting Started, which is focusing on starting to create content. If you haven't yet, be sure to read the first part, Setting Up Your Blog, because until you've set up, you can't move forward.

Ok, so you've set up your email address, decided on a blog title, chosen a platform, have your theme and template, and your first few pages. Now it's time to work on your content and engagement.

Guide to Book Blogging: Getting Started

Part 1: Setting Up Your Blog

On Saturday, it will be my book blogging anniversary! I will have been blogging for 13 years. It's mad, it doesn't seem like quite so long. Blogging still brings me a huge amount of joy, and I can't see me giving up any time soon. I've learnt a few things over the years, and as I've had some questions about blogging recently, I thought I'd put together a few guides to book blogging for anyone thinking of starting.

This first post on getting started with blogging ended up being far too long, so I've split it into two parts. This one is on setting up your blog. Once you've read this, you can check out the second part, which is on Creating Content & Engagement.

Some Things are Bigger Than Blogging

- On Taking an Hiatus & Giving Yourself a Break

I'm here with a different kind of post today. I've been wanting to write more personal posts, the "get to know the blogger behind the blog" kind, as I haven't really done many of them, and while this isn't exactly what the kind of thing I was hoping to write, it's something I feel is important to discuss.
