I just discovered you thanks to Melyssa over at The Nectar Collective and am so glad I did! I was having a bit of a "meh" day and your funny, honest and useful posts just cheered me up! I've been blogging for almost two years now and it's true that success takes longer to arrive than expected but because I do it for the love of it, I keep going.

I asked what makes you an amazing blogger and you answered here! I definitely feel you on the comments on facebook posts vs. no comments on your actual blog. I love love getting great feedback from everyone on Facebook but get embarrassed when it looks like I have no visitors on my actual blog. Amazing!

I have a room that isn't very big and I'm attempting to turn it into a haven for writing. Reading your post about your writing space really helped because it made me see that it doesn't really matter!! I'd like somewhere nice to work, and hopefully now I'll make one...so thank you for that. My blog is really new and I'm seeing exactly what you've outlined in this post - relevant, brilliant, thank you again!

I am still trying to find my voice and I know being yourself is key but at the same time, it can be uncomfortable!

I've read so many articles by blogs about blogging, like <a href="http://www.dailyblogtips.com/" rel="nofollow">Daily Blog Tips</a> and <a href="http://www.problogger.net/" rel="nofollow">@ProBlogger</a>, and they're really impersonal and businesslike, and not at all what I wanted to do.<br /><br />When I saw the title of this post in my feed reader, I just assumed it was one of those until I got to the part about AdSense and only making a few dollars. Then it was like, "Hold up! Someone's getting real... let's find out who wrote this." Kudos for honesty! I never thought AdSense was this magical, Midas-like solution that so many of the pros make it out to be.Jenn Wellshttp://www.jennwellsdesign.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928598130851835729.post-49187499969880846022014-03-19T17:25:33.261-04:002014-03-19T17:25:33.261-04:00This is just what I needed to read today.

I just barely started blogging, and I think I will find myself coming back to this post again in the future :) I definitely agree with you on authenticity... blogs that feel real and honest are really the most fun to read, and certainly the ones I go back to again and again.

My only problem, well not only problem, is my layout and graphics. I'm not good good at making a "professional" looking blog if that is the right word. It just looks like someone was messing around in MS Paint and slapped it on a header. I have Illustrator, so I guess I have potential to make something new, but CSS and HTML are not really my thing.

I started my new blog very recently (January), and keep needing to remind myself that it will take a bit of time to build up to the level of my old blog! I think your point about loving on other bloggers is great, as well. I love getting comments, so I always try to make a point of leaving comments for other people if I've enjoyed their content. I know it's not necessarily 'adding' that much to the conversation, but for me, even a simple 'I loved this post, thanks for writing it' is nice to receive, so hopefully it's nice to receive too. Sooo...
