I signed up for blogging branding through WordPress U . Without a posted start date, it started immediately. Checking out the tag bloggingbranding in the reader I realized why they no longer have a private commons for members of this course as they had in Blogging 101. Everyone is starting this 10-day course on their own schedule!
Now that I am three days into the course, I still haven’t done the assignment for day one; “Set three goals for your blog.” Their resource page seems to be recommending goals with a 2-3 month time-line. If you have been following my blog, you will realize that we do craft shows and that this blog is mainly to communicate with anyone interested in learning more about our retirement business of crafting. But some of our other interests will also appear from time to time.
This is the beginning of our busy summer season (as you may have gathered from my lack of posts.) Therefore I have decided that although I do need to learn more about consistent blogging/branding, my priority now needs to be ensuring everything is set properly for the craft shows, to continue growing our local business.
So as an official start to this course here are my summer blog goals;
- to continue posting at least twice a month (more if I can make/find time)
- collect and read all the information from the class and start to utilize it this fall.
-
Increase followers by 50% by the end of the year.
A heartfelt thanks to all who have made the choice to follow our blog. Keep in touch, enjoy the summer, and watch for eventual improvements.Any suggestions are welcome in comments.
Meanwhile, here is a quick look at some things started a couple of weeks ago. More editing and there will be FO’s for next time 🙂
Hand dyed wool & nylon yarn, wool, mohair, & nylon yarn, and merino wool top.
Another colorway, the top has now become yarn!

I didn’t realize you could sign up for stuff like this. I’m also gearing up for an extremely busy summer, but would still like to blog (hopefully to get exposure like you). Def. going to check it out in September. Thanks for the heads up

Yes, I took blogging101 back in November and it really helped to learn how some of the things work (it takes me a while to absorb the technical things) Have a great summer and many sales!

I missed the “On demand” before the course too. So was a bit surprised to see an email almost immediately😂😂

After looking at your blog I think you are doing a very good job. That’s the nice thing about a blog, it evolves as we learn and we have the control of the directions we choose to take it. 🙂
