New{ish} to Blogging & a Request for Help

All new{ish} bloggers {and anyone who want to grow their blog}, I'm guest posting today over at Plum and June!  I know a lot of bloggers will say "it's not about numbers", and that's mostly true.  I personally struggle with comparing my blog to others, wondering why they're growing faster...etc...but my sometimes jealousy aside...

If you're just starting out blogging, it can be difficult to find a way to reach other bloggers and get them to visit you!  So, I'm offering five suggestions for expanding your blogging reach.

Whether or not you want a million readers, chances are, if you're blogging, you're hoping someone will read!  So, check out my suggestions for getting those readers here.

Oh, and while you're there, leave a comment to be entered to win this premade blog design {with customization, of course!}:


Oh, and one more thing, my friend Danny {remember our Kindle cover/scarf swap?} could use a hand for a good cause:

She's helping organize a camp for teens and is collecting pillowcases to give as gifts! She's specifically looking for pillowcases that are 20" x 20", you can read more details here.

If you're interested in helping out, head over to her blog and look into participating.  I know there's lots of amazing generosity out there, so I hope we can all help her out!

Oh, and to sweeten the deal...I'm going to give away a custom jelly roll from my stash, kind of like this one:


Thanks for your help!
