Blogging is cute, Blogging is adorable but it also is heart aching especially when you’ve ran out of topics! What do I blog about? What will my audience love? How do I place my article? Isn’t it so heart aching? I guess it is… However, a good blogger wouldn’t keep complaining, rather he/she will start acting. There are few things to consider before starting a blog post write up. 1. relevance to the audience. 2. Relevance to you. 3. Relevance to your niche. 4. Relevance to your site. Your blog is there to serve your audience and not you. what happens when you create a post and get little or no views? yikes! must be irritating I presume. Whenever you are about to write an article, your readers should be your priority, because without them, your blog is nothing. When I say relevance to you, I mean, to your knowledge. you don’t just write for writing sake but write because you know what you are writing about. you don’t just take a step without full knowledge of wha...

I wrote about some models and entourages I wouldn't want to get jealous of?  Well, good news is, I finally didn't have to ask for some tip or envy them and bad news is the organisers selfishly took advantage of them. Probably because they are students? But who does that?  A broke Company I guess...  No Costume, Makeup artists weren't paid either... Why make promises you can't keep? Now my friend have to nurse some broken nail which is actually really painful. Apart from that downside, guess I over reacted, there were just Students, students and students with tickets That weren't actually bought... lol. So!  They ...

So, I've bumped into many websites having this feature, I liked and added it to my blog then thought iI could share it here for those who wish to have such feature as well. Sometimes, when readers find a blog post interesting, sharing in different social media site may just be their next step. Sharing posts directly to most forums and in other medium may not be friendly because sharing widgets did not include these platforms thus readers may give up in sharing posts to such platforms which would definitely boost your readership. Sharing widgets generally include Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Reddit etc. But there are many social media sites that can be use in sharing contents as well. So the best way to allow sharing to such social platforms is by displaying raw URL directly at the end of a blog post. this widget you are about to utilize is simple yet effective. After adding this eidget to your blog, it will display the post URL at the end of your Blog post. This widget dis...

OK,  I will try my best to be truthful...  no lies, I will come out straight...  Good evening and Happy Sunday  (not too late for one) So Last week, my female folks were all overboard with this cranky conversation... Suddenly, each and everyone of them wanted to be a runway model,  not setting aside the plump one,  OK,  I'm not saying you have to be slim to be a model, but the society surely thinks so. Well, a few of them grabbed the bull by the horn and went auditioning for a company whose name I wouldn't mention,  except that when pronounced, it sound like 'evil' lol.  It's been three days since my friends began practising catwalking et modeling and truth be told... I laughed my head off while they walked rather crazily...  so the main ish here now is that, according to what I understood, from a close source, they are going for some sort of show which would require some of them to be the runway models for the occasion, s...
