Feature and Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee's View and Alison Can read. Each week there're two featured blogs. This week's featured blogs are Compelled by Words and The Bookshelf Review.
Question of the week:
What would you do over if you were to start your blog again from scratch?
Answer: I don't really know. I guess I'd have a better layout for everything, or get a better design from the start. I wish I'd networked more but I really didn't know how everything worked since I didn't really follow blogs before I started blogging. I'm a pretty impulsive person so I just kind of think of something and do it. If I plan ahead too much I'd stress myself out and would never have started a blog in the first place lol

I know what you mean! I had a horrible time finding the right layout when I first started. Awesome blog and I am a new follower!

Yeah I wish I had some background in web design or something so I could make the perfect layout. But it's a good thing you were impulsive and made your blog! :)

There's nothing major I would change really. I mean sure I guess I thought of some small things like posting a little too much in the beginning and maybe think over other things, but yea. nothing major.

Same here--I only just broke down and made a twitter! X)

I am really really bad at networking and that is a fact. I am so, so BAD at it! I have been really trying though!
Thanks for stopping by and following! I really like this new layout but I'm ready for something more custom made lol
lol I know! I'm surprised I lasted this long!
haha me too! I'm really bad at staying on twitter for a long time because I feel so guilty about not doing something else lol but it gets easier I think. I've met some amazing ppl over on Twitter so it's all good! Good luck with everything!
I feel the same way about the design thing. I'd like to do a redesign but really have no idea what I want.
Great answer. Networking is really important.
I wish I also planned a better layout and design, but I can't think of anything better right now. Still learning the ways of the blogging world! New follower.

I've changed my template a few times over the years, but I finally found one I adore so it will be staying. No more changing for me! Too stressful!

I love the paperish layout you have! and I know what you mean lol! thanks and have a great weekend!
no worries! You'll figure it out. and everyone is super helpful and nice, so don't be scared to ask!
I love your blog name! And I know what you mean, I'm still trying to get a handle on the networking thing.. haha
New follower from the blog hop! http://thefictionconniption.blogspot.com
Great answer! I definitely agree on the layout. I made my own first one then ended up changing it again pretty fast.
I think networking is one even those of us who've been blogging awhile still need to work on anyway...at least I do!
I love your design now. Totally jealous of it.
Thanks for stopping by.
Great answer! I also wish I networked more...I would love to talk to more awesome bloggers :)
Happy reading and thanks for stopping by my follow Friday!!
You have a super cute blog and an adorable design :) When I started, I used your blog a lot as a guide!
As for me, I think I'd probably learn a bit more about blogger and HTML coding before starting. Love blogging but the actual blogging part wasn't easy to learn!
Have a lovely week :) The Brunette Librarian's FF & a special giveaway :)
Love your blog name!
Thanks for stopping by.
lol I see pretty layouts around and then I really want a new one, but too bad I don't have the html knowledge to just make my own.
Networking is definitely an ongoing thing. It's hard just because real life can get so busy
thanks! and take your time! no need to rush into everything at once!
thanks!!
me too! thanks for stopping by!
thanks girl!
*strolls in on nice Saturday afternoon*
Wheew. how about this heat? got some water? Ice cold? lol. Yes, Ning you are waaaay impulsive.. *looks at your blog archive* yepp.. pretty impulsive.. but I'm glad you made your blog when you did ^_^ wooot. I didn't make my blog until I designed everything first (I'm OCD like that) once I had the name (which took a looong ass time) I sat here and designed everything you should see the my castaways for my banners haha.. I had 3 to choose from.
I'm like you, I don't really plan anything out.. I have ideas, but I wont act on them until I feel the urge to. Like my blog? yeah.. that was spur of the moment. Love your blog and your posts! ^_^

I kind of started by the seat of my pants too. April over at My Shelf Confessions had the idea, I stole it, and we started together. I don't think either one of us knew too much what we were doing. Glad it worked out though! LOL
Ning, I adore your blog, so it worked out for you, too! <3
