Blogger sucks. That is why.<br /><br />2. I have two blogs too -- I think if you have two distinct audiences, you need to have two blogs. But definitely include a link on each one to the other.<br /><br />3. There are some great templates available here: http://tips-for-new-bloggers.blogspot.com/2007/02/three-columns-blogger-template.html<br /><br />And check out Sneaky Momma Blog Design for easy tips on designing and customizing your blog:http://sneakymommablogdesign.blogspot.com/<br /><br />4. I think you can get some blog designs pretty cheaply actually.<br /><br />5. I read you in a reader and you can see photos. Feedburner is one way of putting your feed out there. It was recently bought by Google so you might have to log in and do it again if you can't see it. You can add your own blog to Google Reader so you can see what it looks like to your readers.<br /><br />7. When I got into my Feedburner account, it tells me how many "subscribers" I have for my feeds. Not sure how this gets counted in all your stats.<br /><br />If you want to grow one blog, concentrate on that. If you spread yourself too thin, it gets to be too much. One of the keys to growing a blog is getting out there and commenting like crazy so it takes time.<br /><br />I don't Twitter becuase I barely have enough time to blog. But lots of people seem to like it.<br /><br />Hope that was helpful!Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246007973431891303.post-88006636227462589302009-04-15T19:32:00.000-05:002009-04-15T19:32:00.000-05:00I think Luke described things well. But here is my...I think Luke described things well. But here is my take.<br /><br />1. When paragraphs get messed check the html part of your post. Delete any codes that Blogger placed between them and try spacing them out again. <br /><br />2-4. Having multiple blogs is fine as long as they each have a distinct purpose. Creating templates with navigational links will help tie each one together. It's up to you to decide if it's worth it. If it will simplify your life and make you smile every time you see it, it probably is. {my blog servics are on sale right now!}<br /><br />5-7. I love Goggle Reader. When you follow a blog it is automatically added to Goggle reader, {it's the only way I can keep up!} it's easy to use and helps keep things separated. All of your post shows up including pictures. Not sure how to count your subscribers but the amount of followers you have is a good starting point. <br /><br />8. Love the title! I say go for it.<br /><br />9. I don't 'get' Twitter myself but if you enjoy it do it.Katie Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13607257019453272053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246007973431891303.post-6106246723842738252009-04-15T15:15:00.000-05:002009-04-15T15:15:00.000-05:00I struggle with some of the same questions.

And sometimes, it's harder because Blogger seems to do certain things in a completely proprietary way that infuriates me.<br /><br />I don't know what to think about multiple blogs. I have more than one and they serve separate functions so it makes sense. No reason they can't co-exist. <br /><br />I don't think I helped.Call Me Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144735845209334875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246007973431891303.post-65464267707694384042009-04-15T12:01:00.000-05:002009-04-15T12:01:00.000-05:001. Blogger treats every line break (time you hit e...1. Blogger treats every line break (time you hit enter) as a <p> tag... which adds the space. If you add another element (such as indenting, or a list of items) it adds another break ...which means you end up with tons of space.<br /><br />2. Two blogs is fine. I have three [smile].<br /><br />3. Templates are a blast, but a huge time sink (even if you're good at coding).<br /><br />4. Investing money? No more than you would your other beloved hobbies. There are a bunch of helps out there (and if you need to know how to do something, ask me and I'll try to come up with a tutorial).<br /><br />5. RSS readers allow you to subscribe to hundreds of blogs and read them all in one place very easily. Feedburner was taken over by Google and changed. You could probably sign up again if they locked you out. Log into Google Reader and add a few blogs just to try it out. Ask if you have any questions... but it rocks!<br /><br />6. You can totally see pictures and sometimes video. It depends a lot on the blog's feed settings, but optimally you should see all the post content.<br /><br />7. I added the Google Analytics tool (it has instructions and is fairly straight-forward). It's awesome. I believe people who read via RSS are still counted.<br /><br />8. People visit blogs that interest them. If that's all three of yours, that's all three. In any case, they will find more joy from content they want. So three blogs is fine... I have three [smile].<br /><br />9. Twitter is a tool. Some find it useful. For most, it's a waste of time. Don't sweat it unless all your friends are using it.<br /><br /> ~LukeLuke Holzmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07799632321310461828noreply@blogger.com
