    Hi, I ‘ve been writing a blog for a few weeks now, called Views from the Greenhouse, together with my friend Adrian. It’s the first time I’ve tried anything like this and I wondered if anybody had any hints and tips for me - http://blog.spaldingbulb.co.uk/category/views-from-the-greenhouse/  Any comments would be gratefully received.

    It looks good to me, Grannie Annie, though the pictures could do with being bigger - clicking on them loads thumbnail sized ones rather than larger ones.

    With blogs, it's nice to just tell a story that you think people might like to hear about, which is what you're doing - something you've seen or done, with a few pictures to illustrate it. It could be something lovely which has really touched you, or a rant about something that's vexed you. Your personality will come across then and people will want to know more.

    Hi Miranda

    Many thanks for your input. To begin with I felt uneasy writing for others to read - but now getting more into the flow and also starting to relax and enjoy it and hopefully writing more naturally.

    Thanks good advice!

    I think everything looks great. One thing I would consider is getting a nice logo that can clearly be seen when entering the page. Looks a bit empty at the top. Keep up the good work.
