julia and bear 164x300 Lessons about blogging from Breckenridge, CO

Me and a scruffy stuffed bear at a restaurant in Breckenridge, CO.

I recently returned from an intense two-day Savvy Blogging Summit in Breckenridge, CO where I met dozens of other bloggers and learned how to be a better blogger. My to do list has 56 items on it so I’ll just share a few changes I want to make.

  • tell more stories, including reader successes and failures (email me yours!)
  • make technical changes to improve site speed and usability
  • share more of my own financial challenges, changes, and decisions (hence my post on nontraditional banks)
  • create new tabs for popular topics like groceries and freebies
  • expand my presence on Facebook and on Twitter (see poll below)

What changes would you like to see on BargainBabe.com?

    I’m a woman “of a certain age” who values what little privacy remains in our “tell all” society, and do not plan to be on Facebook, Twitter or any of the other sites out there. I do enjoy your blog on computer and love the fact that there’s been more interaction amongst your readers. It’s great to learn about all the differing viewpoints through all the age/gender categories, along with some topnotch suggestions across a wide variety of topics. Having periodic best/worst features is a great idea.
