My Blog Resolutions for 2016

Tuesday, January 5, 2016

It's a new year (well, five days into it at least) and with a new year comes new goals and resolutions. I already shared my New Years Resolutions (here) but in that list I didn't include my resolutions for my blog. There's a lot that I want to happen this year, because I feel like 2016 is going to finally be the big step for Rain on a Metal Roof. I can't wait for all of this to happen, and I wonder if I'll do all of these this year. I hope I complete all of them by June-Julyish so that I can come up with new ones and complete those by NYE.

-Be more social. I always read my blogs on Bloglovin, where you can't leave comments or really share anything, so maybe after I write my daily blog post in the morning I could spend about 10 minutes just discovering new blogs and leaving comments and writing nice emails. 

-Try to start blogging daily! The only days I do not blog are Saturday and the WOTW on Sunday, which is ironic because those are the days when I have more time. I know daily blogging can be a big commitment, but after a year of blogging 5 days per week I feel like I can take it on.

Some days I just forget, and as soon as I hit "Publish" I just want to close my laptop and fall right back asleep, not to mention all of the distractions on my phone. Sharing my posts every day is going to make a big impact. 

-Learn new, free ways to promote my blog. If no one knows it's there, it's not going to be found, so I need to figure out new ways to put it "out there" because otherwise I'm just talking to myself!

-Use better fonts in my blogging pictures! This is super irrelevant, but STORY TIME: So, NYE, you may have noticed I changed the blog title to a new font. Boring, right? Well, super exciting for me.... I used Picmonkey to do that, even though Picmonkey doesn't even have that font. I downloaded it and figured out how to use it under "My Fonts" on Picmonkey (more complicated process than I thought it would be), which is super exciting for me because do you have any idea how many free fonts I've downloaded in anticipation of using them? A lot. 

-Use Pexels for my blog photos A LOT MORE OFTEN! They have high quality stock photos that I fell in love with as soon as I saw them, but I usually just find stock photos on Pinterest and use them, which is way harder than actually just going to a stock photo site. I LOVE PEXELS <3 b="">

Those are my blog resolutions for 2015 2016 (I'm gonna be writing 2015 for the next 3 months probably....) so far, what do you have planned for your blog this year? Tell me in the comments below.
