**Feature & Follow ~ 30**


Happy Friday and welcome to the Blog Hop! 

Feature & Follow is a weekly blog hop hosted by the talented ladies behind AlisonCanRead and Parajunkee's View. The intent of this blog hop is to get out there and meet other bloggers and gain new followers yourself. What sets this blog hop apart is the Feature. Each week, two blogs are featured, one at AlisonCanRead and one at Parajunkee's View. So make sure to hop over to those blogs to check out this week's Features.

 This week's Features are:
Thoughts and Pens
No Bent Spines

 This week's activity: Share something you've learned about book blogging or blogging in general in the last month.

 Hmm, it seems like I learn stuff about blogging daily. And just today, I read a really informative post about keyword searches. Honestly, I didn't know the first thing about using keywords. Parajunkee offered quite a few tips on using keywords to get people to your blog. So it was very enlightening. Thanks, Parajunkee! :)

 What about y'all? What have you learned about blogging lately?

    Great post. I'm checking that out now :)

    Hi! Old Follower. What I’ve learned is not to let others dictate my review schedule. Sometimes I’m “too nice” when instead I just need to stick to my rules I have set up.

    Rachel's post about keyword searches was really informative. I'm still a little overwhelmed on the topic, but have bookmarked it to come back to when I'm not such a newbie to all those blogging.

      I'm totally overwhelmed by it as well. It's something I haven't given much thought to and now I'm thinking I'm a very naive blogger! :) Thanks for hopping by and have a great weekend!

    I'm glad you mentioned Parajunkee's keyword post, because I have missed a lot of things while on vacation. And I've missed you!

    I look forward to catching up, it feels like it's been forever since we chatted.

    Thanks for stopping by my FF post earlier, Brandee. Have a fantastic Friday :) *hugs*

      I have to say that both that post and Parajunkee's answer for the FF have made me feel quite silly. I don't know how to use keywords - I don't use tags - and I have never thought about security on my blog...ugh!

      But you know I've missed you terribly and I'm so glad you're back. We have lots to catch up on! LOL I hope your weekend is lovely, Lexxie, and that you enjoy being home. :)

    Keywords are definitely important. What I've been learning is how important it is to have a schedule! New follower on bloglovin'.

    She gives out all sorts of little gems doesn't she? I've had a lot of 'duh' moments where I've realised just how little I actually know - it's pretty humbling. At least I learned how to do the 'read more' page breaks. Have a great weekend!
