Ladies, need some help. Have been considering setting up a blog for quite some time now. Even went as far as to create one on blogger but have never done anything with it.

I'm just a beginner scrapper so wondering if it's worthwhile? It just all seems so complicated.

Any thoughts/tips/advice?

Thanks everyone

Jen

Hmmn, maybe as you are starting out, why not do a few challenges here - blog hop and see what other scrappers are up to, and when the motivation to blog comes along, then start blogging :wink:

Just take one step at a time, and your blog will probably evolve as your scrapping does.

Blogs are great! And over time, they really do become quite a time capsule :wink: to look back on :P

Hi Jen
I think blogs are great for scrappers, especially for online challenges.
And also another great way to 'keepsake' photos, layouts, document family day-to-day stuff. I've learnt a lot from other blogs, its been a learning curve but also lots of fun too :D

It took me forever to "pluck up the courage" to start a blog. I loved looking at other's blogs but used to think, who would be interested in what I was doing. But I finally did it just to prove to myself I could, at first....now I'm so glad I did. Have a look around, visit other blogs and as Mandy said when you are motivated to blog, it will happen.

Thanks for all your advice girls, decided that I am definitely going to set one up. Think it will be a good way to see my progression. I have seen some really nice blogs, just need to work out now how get the header and put them on :?

Well, after reading this topic, I decided, for better or worse, to resurrect my blog! Not quite sure what I am doing, and I do know it will need some revamping, but I thought I might enter the cyber world!
Not that sure I have too much to impart, but as I said, for better or worse!
Thanks for the inspiration to resurrect my blog.

Have been looking at all your blogs, love them all and so much talent!

Will keep you all updated and no doubt be back with more questions lol..

Good Luck Happy Haggis, will visit yours when its set up!

I think to do the headers etc, you go to the 'Design' tab and choose a template.
