I have a problem, everyone. This site is dull (or is it me?).

I can see you falling asleep right now.

So I need your help!

How do you, or how would you, revive a blog?

Because all I really want is for this site to be a little more like this:

And let’s face it. I don’t want to disappoint Giselle.

   We don’t think your blog is dull at all! But we do think if it’s dull for YOU, then that’s a problem. Whatever you do to make it more enjoyable for yourself is bound to translate through for readers too. Whether that’s shifting the angle, getting guest bloggers, or a simple design refresh – who knows. Just figure out how YOU can have fun with it. 🙂

     Thank you so much! I never thought to approach it at that angle – how I feel about it, and how to make it enjoyable for me, too. Definitely going to think this over now!

   I never thought your blog was dull or anything like that.. I can only agree with We heart YA, though. This is your blog, so first think about what you like and the rest will follow, imo. 🙂

   Hello! I just found your blog through the IMM linky and I would like to say that your blog is very good! I love the design and it seems very professional. Now if you want your blog to be “popular” you of course need more followers. One way is follow friday, which I see you have done. But in that meme if you dont go to other people”s blogs and comment and follow them, and leave a link to your follow friday, they wont follow you back. Another problem may be that you have networked blogs which isn’t a big follower thing. My suggestion is to get either GFC or Linkyfollowers, and to maybe participate in a giveaway hop. I didnt have 100 followers about a month and a half ago, but Ive participated in 2 or 3 giveaway hops and I now have 370. 🙂

   Hope this helps,
   Bri @ Kindling the Fire
