Seriously Write: Branding: Why do I have to have a Blog? by Patty Smith Hall
For years, I’ve tried (and failed) at starting my own blog. But recently, my husband gave me a compelling reason to try again.

Your photo on the header is important…

Or at the top of the sidebar. Good idea. I hadn’t really thought of that, Jennifer. Ah… It’s all a work-in-progress. 🙂

Hi Sandra, I’m not able to read the full post. What do I need to click? Seriously Write used to come up in my WP feed, but it hasn’t for a few weeks. Thanks!
Sandra Ardoin
Seriously Write comes up in your WordPress feed? Interesting. I didn’t know you could get Blogger posts in the Reader. OR…
Are you meaning that you can’t get my full post (above) for my blog? If it’s here, I changed from .com to .org last month and set my posts to give summaries. If you got this in your Reader, you should click on the post in Reader and you’ll see this message: Visit http://www.sandraardoin.com for the full post. Click that and it will take you to my website and the post. Let me know if that works, Jill. If not, I’ll need to look into it more. But I’m thinking whatever the problem, it has to do with my change. Thanks for wanting to read the post.

This is what I see when I’m at your site. I don’t see Patty’s full post.

I just emailed you about it, Jill.

I’m getting the same thing when I visit your site…

Thanks for visiting, Jacquie. Glad to have you!
With regard to this post and some previous ones, I changed my website and theme in June and couldn’t figure out how to get the links in the posts to show up. Thankfully, I’ve since figured that out. I guess it didn’t make that change applicable to past posts though.
I’m the Wednesday hostess on the group blog Seriously Write and post a teaser about the blog post for that day. Patty Smith Hall is a contributor once per month and is in the middle of an author branding series. The link for this particular post is https://seriouslywrite.blogspot.com/2019/07/branding-why-do-i-have-to-have-blog-by.html.
I’m sorry for the confusion and hope that helps. The one tomorrow will show the link.

Thanks so much Sandra.
