Floral Embroidery + Ways To Improve Your Blog Right Now







This outfit would be absolutely perfect for Easter! I'm loving the floral embroidery on the skirt and the tulle overlay (I linked several similar skirt options below, and my exact top, which is the cutest! Love the color and the sleeves.) 

Shop My Look:

Today, I also wanted to share 4 ways you can improve your blog, right now, for free! Sometimes, we can get so excited and creative, that we go overboard. (Hi. That would be my hand raised.) And, sometimes, we don't quite do enough to make our blog easy to navigate. Wherever you find yourself on this scale, I've got some tips for your blog, that you can incorporate today! 

1. Choose a cohesive and easy-to-use blog theme. One of my biggest pet peeves is when I visit a blog, and it's so cluttered and difficult to navigate, that I just give up. If I was interested enough to click on your blog link, in the first place, then you should have had my attention once I got there. If the site is so busy and seemingly unorganized that a reader can't even navigate their way around it, that's the one of the biggest turn-offs for a reader. Instead, choose a theme that's aesthetically pleasing, but user-friendly.

2. Make commenting easy. Most blogging platforms, these days, have built-in scam detection. You really don't need to use a captcha program or other scam-detecting software. And, usually, if I have to create my own log-in, specifically for your blog, I won't bother with commenting. If someone wants to leave a comment, don't make it more difficult on them. Try to provide a clearly labeled comment section, free of additional clicking, scrolling, and typing.

3. Make it mobile-friendly. Speaking of additional clicking and scrolling, lots of people will be looking at your blog on their phone. So, your blog should be mobile-friendly so that readers don't have to click and scroll endlessly, which is harder to do on a phone.

4. Consider your audience. Really think about what your readers want to see and read, on your blog. Create headlines and pictures that draw your audience in. Don't just blog for yourself, blog for the audience you have and want to attract more of. 
        
Like I said, incorporating these tips is super easy and also free! They may be things you've already considered, but forgot along the way, or maybe they're new concepts altogether. Either way, I hope they help you to improve your blog, today.
Thank you so much for reading!

  17. This is such a nice read dear. Indeed, it's extremely important to always put your reader/audience in mind when writing. Yes we have our own style and we want to be as true to that as possible. But we should also remember that for our blogs to succeed, we need people to actually read what we're about to say. Anyway, you look so lovely dear. Loving the elegant and really chic outfit! Your skirt is defintiely the prettiest I've seen today. And your hair is just gorgeous!
