What Are Some Tips to Make My Blog Better

I was noticing on some other people's blogs that they have a cute signature. I was trying to figure all of this out yesterday and read about mylivesignature.com. I am always a little behind but Georgie has given me a couple of pointers. Thanks!!! I am sure I will need more in the future. Of course I did it wrong and they sent me a post which probably confused everyone. So I need some help from everyone.

What are some things I can do to make my blog better? Jud said to post more pictures and I have done that, but what else. I feel like my creative juices have not been flowing and I want to liven things up. What would you like to read about? What do or do you not like? Thanks for your help!

I can give you a recap of what clumsy things I did yesterday and today. I fell this morning but I am becoming very good at catching myself. I have done it so much it is an auto reaction. I have gained so much weight that I ripped my pants. I am not kidding. I can not fit into anything I wear. Usually being a shopoholic I would be thrilled at buying new clothes but something about buying clothes up a size and knowing you look fatter than you normally do is not appealing. So I have been squeezing into my pants and it finally wore thin. My guy friend at work told me I needed to go to the bathroom imediately. I asked him why and he would not tell me. Being stubborn I would not take that as an answer so he announced you have ripped your pants in the butt. So the rest of the day I had to make sure my sweater was covering up my backside because believe me no one wants to see that right now.

Oh, my. I have ripped the crotch out of pants before at work, but not since I was in high school and tried to climb into the back of delivery truck in dress pants.

I sold shoes at the mall in high school (when this occurred), and got to go home early because apparently the customers (most of whom were women) didn't want help from a salesman whose "junk" was a dangling.

well miss annie I adore your blog and I think a blog is a reflection of us...i am constantly changing my blog background b/c i am decisionally challenged ;-)

here are some things I have learned
1. bigger font makes reading a blog easier

2. breaking your posts into shorter paragraphs makes for an easier read

3. linky loo(thats just what i call em) to link a page while you are doing a post, highlight the word you want to link to, say- my live siggy then look for the link button depending on if you use blogger in draft or not it will say 'link' or it will have a round thing with a chain aka link on it-click that then insert the full url click save or ok then you have linked a page

4. I do have a few tutorials on my blog that may be helpful they are basic tuts-scroll to the bottom to find my labels and look for tutorials

5. fix your settings under profile so that when you leave a commnt on someones blog they can email you back-this is a personal choice for some but i love it-for example if you have comments emailed to then just hit reply when you get this and you can email me directly

WOW, Georgie gave you some good stuff. I can't think of anything else. I feel the same way sometimes, just not creative and have a hard time coming up with stuff. The whole ripping you pants is super funny and I would have done a whole blog about it with pictures...but then again I like to laugh at myself and the stupid stuff I do.

Lord Georgie! You couldn't come up with 10 or 12 more? Sheesh.

I, personally speaking, would love that when I load your blog page, Josh Duhamel steps out of the screen with a dirty martini (must be dirty - heh) and then gives me a back rub. Work on that, mkay?

Other than that - if you have words on the page, I'm good. The extra froo froo isn't as good as reading your posts. :)

I would be happy to help you with any questions you have (specifically). Except that Josh one. If I could figure that one out I wouldn't need you.
