Posting a Blog.....What to do and what not to do....

After just a few days of writing and posting I have found myself starting to obsess over how my entry's look. For instance, when placing a picture in a new posting it is better to use either a large photo copy or a small photo copy. So far my choice is large because when you write a caption or short paragraph the words fit better. If you choose medium size photo's, the entire post looks bad and it's impossible to fix short of starting over. I tried to fix my previous blog entry and after about ten attempts decided to copy and redo the layout. I feel better with the second attempt.
Do most people play around with the blog before setting out to publish one? I do know that some people start new blogs after learning the ropes. That sounds like a good idea to me!
Does it matter? You tell me!

I learned as I went along. I even had to give my brother my password so he could fix stuff for me once in a while. It's good to laugh at yourself and keep moving forward...
I'm Willow's walking buddy by the way just so you know I'm not a perfect stranger...

I do quite a bit of laughing at myself at this point in my life!! Life presents so many opportunities to grow and this is another one!!
Glad to meet you!! Enjoy your walks! I wish Willow were my walking buddy!!
I'm off to take mine. Mt. Hood is beautiful today!

Hi Flower,
Thanks for visiting my blog! It takes a while to get used to blogging and you will find that pretty soon you will get to grips with it and fall into a set pattern that you like to work with. I personally like photos to be between words (paragraph above and a paragraph below) rather than next to words as it makes the posts easier to read.
I love your photos of bart in the sun and the flowers in the picture right at the bottom of your blog.
I also did a little google search on the book 'The Shack' and it looks like just my cup of tea, ive added it to my 'books to read' list.
Im really looking forward to reading your future blogs, and id like to politely request photos of all your farm animals!! (Just so i can pretend they are mine!)
Take care, and il visit you again soon,
Lindsay x
