      What Others Are Saying...

      As a brand new blogger, I found Blog Wonderful to be a lifesaver! I learned SO much from design to commenting to advertising to things I never would have thought about or known before! This eBook is VERY well organized, so it’s easy to navigate and also very easy to read. It has so many little details that only an experienced blogger could know and is willing to share. I felt like Dana was talking to me as a friend and helping my blog become more successful like hers. You can really tell that Dana put a lot of time and thought into this eBook. I really can’t say enough good things about Blog Wonderful! I just finished the eBook today and I already feel like a more knowledgeable and confident blogger. Blog Wonderful is a great resource and I plan on revisiting it regularly!

      I absolutely love Dana’s e-book, Blog Wonderful! Even though I’ve been blogging for awhile now, there were still so many great tips that I found extremely helpful. Everything from little design tips to how important it is to connect with your readers. The last chapter about making money with your blog has been a huge help! The tips I’ve found in Blog Wonderful have really helped to make sure I’m moving in the right direction. I’d definitely recommend this e-book to any new blogger!

      I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy this ebook or not when I first came across it... But I am SO glad that I did! Not only has it given me a lot of awesome tips but it has really inspired me to be a better blogger and best of all.. to be MYSELF. I think that Dana is such a real person, I love her blog, her style and her shop so I knew that she would have intriguing and useful info to share, and she definitely did! What I have enjoyed most about Blog Wonderful so far is Dana's urge to not just follow the crowd of bloggers but to do what feels right to you. Since I started reading this, I've been more inspired to write which has led to more views and followers. I love the blog format and I find myself reading through Blog Wonderful daily. Thank you Dana!

      Introduction

      I spent a year putting my heart and soul into a blog and documenting what worked, and what didn't.  Wonder Forest is my baby, my pride and joy. It is the place where I can let it all out. Where I can be creative... and where I can share my thoughts with the world. My blog grew pretty quickly during only the first six months, but it was not without hard work.

      Blog Wonderful is an online eBook designed for both the beginner and novice blogger that shares my own tips, tricks, and knowledge gained as a new girl on the scene. What you will find in this eBook is a collection of my own opinions on becoming better at blogging, taking your blog to higher levels, as well as some helpful hints from my profession as a web designer. Whether you are looking to start a blog, or just want some help for your current one, I have you covered! I am not a professional, I only know what has worked for me, and I hope that what I share will work for you too.

      I thank you for joining me on this little journey, your support is so appreciated, you have no idea.

      Chapter One

      Getting started with your blog

      Define yourself.

      I started blogging in the summer of 2011. One of the initial struggles I had was figuring out how I wanted my blog to sound.  Did I want it to be business-oriented, did I want to share my personal life?  How did I want my readers to view me?  This is something that will probably take the most thought, because it is important to establish your voice in order to succeed in the blogging world.

      What you need to figure out is how you will be read. Do you want to write to your readers the same way you would talk to your friends? Or are you trying to stay professional if you own a business blog? Your writing style is important because it helps define your blog. If a reader feels comfortable with your writing, they will come back.  Some of my favourite blogs have a great writing style which is easy to read and makes me feel as though they're right there, in my own head, telling me their stories.

      If you have never tried your hand at writing before, you might want to take some time to develop your own style before you jump into blogging. This is totally optional, but if you have no idea where to start, the best
