Follow Friday Returns to My Blog!

Follow Friday Feature was something that I had gotten into when I first started this blog, and I liked doing it a lot. I ended up dropping it last year when I went on vacation, and we were moving, and my computer was sucking... and you know how it goes, where there is an excuse to be found... I was only updating my blog once a week or so, and the meme's I enjoyed doing just dropped off. Recently I have decided to get back into my blog a little more, so I'm finally getting around to picking up Follow Friday again. I might as well be honest here, and tell you that it is hard to get good books to review if you don't have that many follows and page hits (as I'm sure you know) and this meme is a fantastic way to not only meet new bloggers, find new great books to read (blogging was how I got into paranormal & dystopian books!) but it is a great way to get more followers! I hope you like what you see here enough to become my newest one ;)

Parajunkee and AlisonCanRead host this weekly meme, and you can click on either of their names to go to their blogs, or this button!

This week's question is:


Q: What would you do over if you were to start your blog again from scratch? A: This is a great question, and one that I have soooo many different answers for. First, I probably would have done a little bit of research before diving in and starting my own. I would have looked around at my different options. Second, I would have thought harder about a name. Recently, I shortened my blogs name, and I'm thinking about making some other changes that will make things easier as well. Finally, I wish I knew how to write HTML so I could make a better web design and personalize the look and feel of my blog, because I don't really like it. I'm thinking about hiring a designer once I have some extra money to pay for one!


Thanks for stopping by! Leave me a comment and I will get back to you, and if you choose to follow, I have GFC, Linky, or you can stop over to my blog's new twitter account @Imma_Bookworm

Nice to meet you :)

    I love the name Imma Bookworm! I'm having some doubts on my blog name and design. I envy those who know html like the back of their hand. New Follower.

      Thanks! Just last week I changed it from 'Imma Bee, Imma Bee... No, Wait, Imma Bookworm' though, because it was so long, and not nearly as funny as I had intended it to be!

      I wouldn't even know where to begin with HTML, I'm lucky I can figure out how to copy and paste it properly! I'm jealous of people who know it too!

    I have to disagree when you say your blog needs reinforcements. Just a little tweaking and it's all good! You actually have a pretty good blog. :)) And I'm not just saying that so I would have something to say. Well, Happy Friday!

      Thanks! Last week I really started trying to make some changes for the better, and it is already starting to look better, I just wish I could personalize it instead of trying to find free things around the web to add.

    Hi there! Great answer! I'm just learning HTML too. I've only just figured out how to put links into my comments (as you will witness here in a minute! :D) so I feel your pain on that count. It's harder than it seems like it ought to be, isn't it? Anyway, just hopping through. New follower via GFC. I have FFs at Musings on Fantasia and
    LKHill if you'd like to follow back! Happy Friday! (Cute blog, btw!) ;D

    Well, I'm still struggling with html since I haven't figured out the whole link in my comments! I'd better bug my husband again. Thanks for your great comments.

    Hi! I, too, struggle with HTML - although many people assured me it's not even that hard if you just sit down and take some time learning it - which I haven't done yet...

      It can be hard, but I was just over to yours and it looks great, you have lots of the sidebars, even that rolly thing! I can't do that!

    Great answer. More research and learning HTML are the really popular answers. Both true for me too. New Follower =] Thanks for sharing and visiting My FF

    I'd like to pay for a proper design and individualize my blog, too. For now, I've just messed about in the advanced settings, so mine is pretty plain and simple, but I like it well enough for now, haha.

    Picking a name you really love (that's also available) is tricky! That was by far the hardest part for me.

      Oh yes, I forgot about all the names I tried to get one that was available! Ugh, I guess I should just be happy I got something without numbers!

    I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup? I'm
    assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I'm not very web savvy so I'm not 100% sure.
    Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Kudos

    Hey! I understand this is somewhat off-topic but I
    needed to ask. Does building a well-established website such as yours require a massive amount work?
    I'm brand new to operating a blog however I do write in my diary every day. I'd like to start a blog so
    I will be able to share my personal experience and
    views online. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for brand new aspiring
    bloggers. Appreciate it!

    Hmm it looks like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so
    I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your
    blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any suggestions for first-time blog writers? I'd certainly appreciate it.
