2016 blogging resolutions

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  Today I thought I would talk you through some resolutions I plan on sticking to, to make my blog even better. I really enjoy blogging as I've now been doing it for a year. I intend on just getting better each year I have my blog, and gain more skills. For Christmas I got a Macbook air, which has helped me massively with my blog because I had a really rubbish slow laptop before. So here we go with the resolutions... 1- Plan more: This is one I am becoming more better at, because the best content is always the ones that are planned out to perfection. I want to write down everything and really plan it out, before I rush into hitting the publish button. By planning more posts I have more time, and it's easier to come up with blog posts on time. 2-  Become more creative with posts: This year I really want to become a lot more creative with my posts, and focus more outside the box; rather than following others ideas. Don't get me wrong I love following certain posts because they are a lot of fun posts out there, but I want to use my own creativity now and again. 3- Develop more with my photography: Photography is a huge part of blogging and it determines whether you're successful or not, because many readers will go off your site if it's not eye catching and pretty to the eye. Most readers do focus on the layout and images before they read your content, to determine if it's worth their time or not. 4-  Be happy with it: Many times I've always judged the layout, images etc.. thinking it's rubbish. That's going to change because I've finally got to a stage where I am satisfied with how my layout looks. 5-  Gain more  traffic to my blog: This is something every bloggers dreams of. I am very happy with the amount of followers I have, but I would certainly love for my blog to be seen by more. When I first started my blog I honestly didn't think I would even get one follower; when I did it amazed me. I hope you all have a Happy new year, and continue to create many more happy memories in your life! Have you got any resolutions for 2016? Let me know in the comments Love, Lauren x
