So What Happened?

http://mightygoodrecipes.blogspot.com/ unfortunately the blogger i use doesnt give me an option to do a RSS.. googles bloggers only give so many options on what i can use. but i guess there is no harm in adding my friends and my recipes to it and in 6 months if i feel it was time lost i'll rethink of how to go about this

L., sometimes threads disappear here because someone puts a link in the body of the question. It is better to put the link in your SWH so that Mamapedia's computer doesn't pull it.

Just a heads up for you - I do think it's a valid question, but the computer does its thing... The ladies really dont report this kind of stuff.

Editing to add: you can too get an rss feed! I have one on booth og the blogs in my profile and they are blogger blogs. Google will let you.

It is kinda obvious that you a really new.

The number one thing I noticed was that there is no RSS feed. I never actually visit blogs, I grap the rss and plug it into my reader. You can add ads to readers.

Second, you a heavy on google ads and not much else. Amazon would be a better draw and you can just put ads up for cooking supplies and pots and pans. I also like project wonderful as an ad company better, but that is my thing.

I don't see any way contact you either. What if someone really loves the blog but wants to only talk with you? No need to have an email address for all to see, you can use a contact me form and many sites make them for free if you get less than50 messages a month. Why do you need this? Well what if someone wants you to interview you... It is awkward to bw turned down via comments. Or let's say that someone wants to give you a cook book in exchange for a review?

Also how a you getting yourself read? I love doing mimes like orginzation junkies Mpm (http://orgjunkie.com/category/menu-plan-monday). Make your menu plan, linking to your own recipes! It will get you hits and more readership.
