BBAW Day 5 – The Tried and the True and the Future

Here we are. The last day of BBAW. It always goes so FAST, doesn’t it? Here is today’s topic:

The world of blogging is continually changing. Share 3 things you are essential tried and true practices for every blogger and 1-3 new trends or tools you’ve adapted recently or would like to in the future.

Three things that are essential to me?

1 – Templates. I don’t know how I blogged before templates. They make life so much easier!

2 – Twitter. Can I get an amen? All things come from Twitter.

3 – Tumblr! For my sanity. Since I try to keep this blog as book related as possible, Tumblr has become my go-to site to post whatever the heck I want to talk about. And I love it!

Hey, it’s the three T’s of blogging!

Three new trends of tools?

1 – Does Pinterest count? Because dude. I am obsessed.

2 - Time. Is that new? I need it! Desperately!

3 – Honestly, I have no idea. I’m so out of the loop these days (thanks work!), I’m usually the last to know when the cool new things come out. I’m just thankful I discovered Reeder and Evernote on my own!

How about you? What blogging tools are indispensable for you? No, seriously, I really really want to know!

  1. Amy

    LOL Oh man, could I have some of that time too please? Love your post today!

  2. I really need to use Tumblr more often. It's so many things to use, that it's impossible to use everything…but if I had the time I would use it.

  3. hm, I really need to remember to log into Twitter and actually resume using Tumblr… I am so bad with letting things slide!

  4. Templates, yeah!! I'm on Twitter and Tumblr but have yet to really utilize either. Gotta work on that. And I want to be on Pinterest! But my phone doesn't support the app, so I'm waiting until I have a new one (soon!) that does. Instead, I like Springpad…kind of similar, but not really, and not nearly so pretty.

  5. Hmm, something new to explore. Templates? Tumblr?

    Tell me more…

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Great ideas!

    Here's MY BBAW POST and
    MY WEBSITE

  6. Nice! I bugged out late in the week (audit at work) and didn't get to do the 5th day. I think I'm just gonna post a link to your post and say "Yeah, what she said!"
