Social Media – Good thing or Bad?
Social Media is a high priority to anyone into blogging or other internet based ventures. It is such a success that if you hope to become well-known on the internet, Communities recommend you create multiple identities on sites such as Instagram, Pinterest or Twitter to get noticed. Do you use Social Media often? Are you confused by Social Media? Examples of how Social Media works you post on Instagram a photo with various comments relating to the photo.

Are you obsessed with your blog?
When people hear you have a blog you usually have two different reactions. The first one is “OMG, Good for you trying something new, relevant and interesting to hear about!” and the second is “What are you doing with your life & why are you wasting it blogging?”. Luckily I have so far only had the first reaction with my friends and close family, except one family member. How long have you been around? This blog was started on the 15th of May 2017 on a whim to write down my thoughts about books. it has since expanded to have blogging tips and recently other reviews on different topics. I…

NEW URL: Self-hosting & update
Hello all, This is my first post since this week I have changed to self-hosting. You don’t need to know the one & outs of the technical side of it, as even I get confused trying to explain it but basically what it has allowed me to do is drop the “.wordpress” out of my blog address URL. Hope this switch over doesn’t confuse you. Say hello to: http://welshiebooksandthoughts.com. Funny fact? I tried to change to just “books and thoughts” but found out someone else already had that URL so It’s a good job I’m welsh born so I have an excuse to carry over the “Welshie” part in my…

Social Media anyone?
I think Social Media is important for keeping in touch with friends and family but this generation would be lost & confused if the internet broke or 4G didn’t on our phones. Social Media is also used a lot in the blogging community to promote posts and connect with like minded people Social media is used for a lot of different things… To contact people, you can use Facebook. For your Job-searching, you can use LinkedIn to find employers, or they find you.We also use search engines such as Google and our emails daily without even batting an eye. You can create a brand with professionally made blogs, on sites such as WordPress.Com and Blogspot. Although sometimes…

thanks – 1,000 views!
Hello everyone, Just a quick message to you all to say THANK YOU. I have finally hit 1,000 views. I’ve been watching my blog grow slowly and think it’s great that I have over 1,000 views in just under 4 months of blogging. This goal was hit around about Midnight last night.

Once again, I hope you enjoy what I post. Also if you think there is other stuff I’m missing or…
