5 Tips to a Better Blog

there's a lot that i wish i could do with my personal blog to make it better but the truth is, i can't.....or perhaps i don't know how to and so i wanted to share these few tips that will possibly make your blogs better because i know it's kinda hard to do in such a big world! 1.) Be Creative. I have a hard time creating artsy posts and therefore I suck! But a thing that I've noticed is that a lot of creativity goes a long way when you're blogging. When posting, drive in your readers by entertaining them. Act as if you are in person with them and they're a guest in your home. Your blog is your territory, welcome them with party favors each time they visit! 2.) Post Pictures. I know I've mentioned this before but pictures are the life of the party! In posting photos, make sure they are clear and appealing, post according to size; for ex: if the width of your main layout is 700, re-size the pics in an editing software to be 640 spacing in the cente

How to Make Your Own Cocktails | Thirsty Thursday

One of my favorite things to do is make drinks! Mixed drinks. Last week I shared my ruby relaxer , this week I wanted to share just how freely you can prepare your own! It's fun and at least you can make it how you like and if you're not satisfied with any recipes you're following, you can just add as much or as little as you like! I don't measure. Probably my rule of thumb as an 'At Home' bartender! LOL this is my amaretto sour....every time I'm out, I switch it up between the ruby and amaretto....also my favorite to prepare at home! I learn something new about every bartender. This one didn't stir the ingredients and i loved it! perfect and he added cherries. most the time they don't......like really!!! yes, i run into that a lot down south! but allowing me to stir it, made it taste different, i don't know why! Notice how much amaretto is on the bottom? That's exactly how it should look when preparing yours at home! It equals out to be

Picture Frame Wall | DIY

I've been dying to do a wall of bare picture frames and found just the one I'd like to do on fancy farmgirls ! The ones without anything behind are my favorite but so are the horns! Go thrifting and grab some vintage frames, spray paint them and hang free style or grab some colorful leaves as pictured above to dangle inside the frame. Sticking a smaller frame in a large frame is too cute! Don't ya think? Good ideas. Anyone else doing this kind of wall? Share it!!!

Top 3 Reasons Your Blog Sucks

1.) Your Photos. If your photos aren't picture perfect, you need to master at getting a look that is going to capture readers and keep them! Taking a picture isn't as easy as it sounds. You really need to know how to take a good pic. Also, do not throw a picture into a post and have it be too small for the width of your posts. Prepare a pic in an editing software and re-size to the proper width of your settings: example- if your width settings on your layout are 1200, your sidebar is 300 and your post pics should be around 640 giving you space for your borders, etc. But figure yours out by previewing the sizes and see which picture size works best for your posts. Having a bigger pic means business! 2.) You Don't Post Enough. Posting a Lot means you'll survive in the blogging world. People want consistency. Everyday, maybe even multiple posts per day will get you a great blog. Don't just post to post, actually post really good stuff often and your blog will be a

Thirsty Thursday

I'm back to mixing my own drinks at home because it's cozy and I can't stand going out to dinner and a bartender not knowing how to make a yummy, fruity alcoholic beverage. Everyone knows that my all time fave is a ruby relaxer: the famous ruby tuesday drink! Here's the one I've been making at home: What You Need:  Coconut Rum Vodka Peach Schnapps Cranberry Juice Pineapple Juice | I do it different from the bartender and it tastes way better | Follow the line of order above and you'll be good. I do 1 oz. of rum, 1 1/2 oz. vodka, 2 oz. peach schnapps, fill the rest of the glass almost to the top with cranberry juice and splash a bit of pineapple juice on top. Garnish with fruits! Yum! I drink it everyday- Now here's a great list of other adult beverages you may enjoy: just click the pic for the link......happy thursday bloggers follow us on twitter | insta and the taylor house blog on twitter
