Hi friends! As of today, we have 614 posts in our archives. Um. Whoa. Das a lot, yo.
As much as I’ve worked on TNC’s layout to make it easier to navigate and find old posts, it still means that there are a zillion (y’know, give or take) posts that no one ever sees. To help, I compiled 15 of the most popular posts we’ve ever written about “blogging tips and advice” so that they’re easy for you to find and read. Woo! I so hope they’re helpful for you and that there are posts in here that you’ve never seen before. It’s also fun to look back on some OLD posts I wrote and still find them useful. I was even quirkier back in the day (ha!). 😉
Enjoy, peeps! 🙂

Blogging is unique in that things are ALWAYS changing. Are there any blogging tips that have been game changers for you lately?Anything you’d love to learn more about? I’d love to know in the comments!

WOW. I love 62 posts on my blog haha. I love how this round-up is organized by subject! (rather than your 15 all time popular posts) I’d love to know more about e-mail lists! I enjoyed what you wrote about why you should have one and the one person who might not need it. Initially I thought I didn’t need one (even after reading your post), but then I thought some more about how you said it’s the only thing you have complete control over. I glanced over that because I’m not really that worried about social media, but I realized that I’m totally reliant on Bloglovin’. I was reminded of how Tumblr blocked Bloglovin’ and that was the reason I switched to Blogger (Tumblr has since unblocked Bloglovin’ but I’m still using Blogger). Anyways, I’m considering starting an e-mail list. But I don’t want it to be like posts being sent directly to their inbox when they’re published, because that’s redundant (or is it?). I was thinking maybe along the lines of monthly emails or something, with a round-up of recent posts at the end. Which means I can’t just use the “follow by email” widget and will have to actually start a proper e-mail list I suppose. tl;dr How do you start your e-mail list? (like, a very practical instruction–what to use, how to create a subscription form for people to sign up, etc) -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey’s
Hi Audrey! I’m glad that post about email lists got you thinking! That’s a great point about how Bloglovin’ has control over our blogs, too. They’re one of my top referring sites, so if they kicked me off or something, that would be a big hit. Thanks for pointing that out and helping me see how an email list is even MORE important. Gah!
Answering your question would be best fit for a blog post, so I’m going to work on that this week. Stay tuned! 🙂
Very much looking forward to it, thank you!

You’re so welcome, Randy!
I loved this little round up! I can now see all the popular posts you wrote about growing and improving blogs. I ended up clicking through most of them and they were all very helpful and amazing.
Awesome! So happy to hear that. 🙂
Awesome! My main problem with getting people to see my blog is that I’m Dutch and I don’t know if I should blog in English, I’m afraid I’ll make to many mistakes and that it really makes my blog look unproffesional. But on the other hand, the Netherlands is a very small country, not a lot of people around the world speak Dutch.
You’re my life/blogging guru <3

Working my way through your list, and I love what I’m reading so far! I’m trying to grow my blog readership; we have found our niche, which is making it a little bit of a challenge.
