New, anomalous, alluring... but slightly dull

    Hello all,

    I've stepped into the world of blogging for the first time and would love some feedback on some of my futile posts!

    Also, if anyone feels sorry enough for me, any help and advice on how to gain exposure, improve my blog and generally become more fluent with WordPress would be very welcome.

    Also, I would love to read some interesting and diverse blogs, so if you have one, please let me know so I can wile away the hours!

    Thanks everyone,
    Olly

    The blog I need help with is becomingrevered.wordpress.com.

    I think that's what we're all looking for. Just get your name out there. Post in all the forums and e-mail all your friends to check out what you have to say.

    Good luck to you.

    ollygoffe, I like you style... great post about the gloves, I posted a comment for ya.

    Good intro here too.. check out other people's blogs and leave a comment if something catches your eye. Networking builds up your readership and having dood posts on a regular basis keeps them coming back.

    Most of all, have FUN and be enthusiastic about whatever you write about, it will show. Great start!

    Gosh I have a cold and it seems to be leaking into my spelling.

    read : "GOOD posts on a regular basis keeps them coming back"

    ("dood" BTW in Dutch means =dead) definiately NOT a Freudian slip meant in any way shape or form.

    lilysaurez, I like the one post I read, but didn't get further
    'cos the font size is so miniscule... not that I'm old.. ( well
    maybe for some I am LOL) but it was more than I can handle, sorry.

    Hopefully people who spend less time in front of computer screens
    will handle the font size better than I can.

    Just trying to give feedback on why it would put me off coming back.

    keep on Blogging!!!

    kiwidutch, how do I go about changing or increasing the size of fonts? My 'comments' appear so small they are barely legible!?!

    eek i'm not a technical soul, so sorry can't help you there much.

    I DO know that if the tiny font is in the body of your blog
    post text ( probably caused by you writing the text somewhere
    else and copy/pasting it into your blog) then the way to fix THAT is to
    click on the tab on the right of your edit box in the dashboard and
    change it from VISUAL to HTML... then you can see the code around
    the text and delete all the stuff that says <<tiny>> and when
    you delete all the gobbldey gook stuff the text bouces back to
    normal size .

    For the comments box set up, maybe that is part and parcel of
    your theme default???
    I'd recommend a post in the Support Forum for that one.

    Not much help I know, but hope it helps :)

    regards.. kiwidutch :)
