Blogging Tips
It’s tid bit Tuesday and today and it’s all about blogging baby! 🙂
I love leaning something new and I’m always happy to share with you. I recently learned that blog posts should have no less than 300 words in them for better SEO. I know that may seem like a lot of words .But it’s really not. I’ve already written 60. I don’t think you should start counting your words though. I do think it’s important to know that it helps to optimize search engine queries. My blog posts seem to average between 200-500 words. I love to share blogging tips with you and you can find a lot more of them by clicking HERE.
Thank you to all who participated in the Pretty Little Giveaway. I will announce the winner on Friday. The new giveaway will be posted July 2nd.
I am happy to share that one of my recent posts is being featured at Megans blog today at the Brag About It Linky Party. It’s a great party I hope you’ll join in the fun.
Blog Hop News, the New and improved Thursday Favorite Things blog hop starts this week. I’m very excited to have a permanent co host and to feature a special Guest co Hosts every week. Please let me know if you would like to co host.
I’ve been doing a little updating here at Katherines Corner ( I’m always tweaking something). The Cottages page has a new look, I hope you will check it out.

Since it is Tid Bit Tuesday I thought I should fit in a personal tid bit today too. I recently had my hair cut and styled at a new salon. I don’t like it at all. Thank goodness hair grows back because I am not a happy camper. Did I just hear you say you would like to see a photo? Giggle, nope, not “happ-nin”
Will you visit the blogging tips page?
one last tid bit -this post has 361 words, giggle.
Some of it all seems so complicated. I try to do my best and learn new things when I can. Thanks for all your great tips Katherine! Thanks for sharing this week @Tuesdays with a Twist. xxoo
I came over from Southern Lovely. Pinned your blog help. I always go to the comments – I then comment to those that commented.
Blogging tips are always welcome! I’m so inconsistent but I think my readers know that 🙂
I hate my hair most every time I get it cut. I think it’s me because I’ve had heaps of different stylists and I feel the same on every one. My hair is curly and I think I always look like one on of those metal pot scrubbers.
Congrats on the feature (and what a great model you had!). 🙂
My hair grows back so slow so I really, really hate a bad haircut. 😉
Great tips! Thanks so much!
Have a great week!

Great tip Katherine, thank you! Many of my posts are under 100 words so that’s definitely something to think about for future write-ups. Congrats on your feature 🙂
Thanks for the tips! 100 words is no problem for me! I tend to be chatty. Saw you at the Brag About it Tuesday Link up. Hope you will stop by the Friday Follow Along, you can still link up from last Friday or wait until this Friday! Hope to see you there.leahinspired
Always enjoy your beautiful posts! Daily inspiration as I sip my coffee before heading to my writing desk! Like today 🙂
Katherine made my blog all pretty! Check it out, she is awesome.
Katherine –
Have we told you lately just how much we love your blog- your writing is always so wonderful – WE LOVE IT! and were grateful for a dear friendship.
Thanks for sharing on BeBetsy BRAG ABOUT IT
The very best to you-
Sharon and Denise
I have no problem with having at least 100 words on my blog, I don’t think I can talk in under 100 words! LOL
Thanks for the tips! I’ve got to try to figure out this whole SEO thing!! Have a great day!!~~Angela
Good tips! I also have a SEO plugin that tells me everything – really easy for my blonde moments. I’m still learning and trying to grow my blog, but know just time and not really focusing toooo much energy (but not too little either, lol) and eventually hopefully I’ll get there. Sorry about your hair fiasco! 🙁 That’s no fun, but at least like you said, hair grows pretty fast, and I’m sure you’ll be donning a look you just love soon! 🙂
Thanks for the tips, Katie. I definitely need to start “talking” more.
I actually have an SEO plugin installed that will tell me how many words I have typed and help with all sort s of SEO related issues, such as Keywords and such. So, I know you are totally right about this from using that for awhile now. Thanks though for sharing and Happy Tuesday!! 🙂
Thanks for sharing your blogging advise. ;o)
Heck, I have a hard enough time with Wordless Wednesday!
