Now let’s get started with this week’s awesome post. Drum roll, please…. The 10 Secrets To Being A Happy Parent Written By Jennifer at The Deliberate Mom
What makes Jennifer’s blog post awesome? Here’s my feedback:
- Everything about Jennifer’s blog template is simple, elegant, clean, and attractive!
- She uses large social media buttons in a floating, scrolling header to “grow” her blog.
- Jennifer uses quality photography to attract readers, not only in the blog header but also in the post itself.
- She is using Click To Tweet twice, to promote sharing her post on Twitter, one of the biggest social media networks alive.
- Jennifer uses subheadings in her post so we don’t miss the main points, The 10 Secrets to Being a HAPPY Parent. I will tell you, that I need to work on this! Separating my thoughts and implementing the use of subheadings.
- She directs us to three additional articles on her blog, within this post.
- I could go on and on about Jennifer’s sweet author bio, her use of a Related Posts-like section, Shareaholic, and a eye-catching pop-up subscription box in the bottom right corner… but for today we will leave it at six blogging tips 🙂
