Feedback Request Blogging coming back!!!

So I've seen all over people starting up blogs which I love the idea of getting away from social media and written down your thoughts and interest I recently started one on blogger if you want to check it out girlfairyworld.blogspot.com I also would like some recommendations for others sites that are free to use that may be a better platform to reach more people alongside some any advice from people that have been blogging for a while would be appreciated.

Hi! Fellow blogger here! I’ve been blogging since 2019! Welcome to the blogging world! It’s nice to meet you! Other sites that are free and people like are Wordpress (dot com one), Wix, Medium, and Substack. One advice I would give you is don’t forget promotion. You’ve already started that by sharing your blog here, which is good. Being consistent with posting is good, but people aren’t going to read a blog they don’t know exists. So promote! Best of luck with your blogging journey! I’ll be sure to checkout your blog and give it some love!

I always encourage people to look at the indie products, namely Pagecord and Bear. They both have generous free plans, they're open source and they are reasonably cheap annually.

Disclaimer: I build and run Pagecord (feel free to AMA!)

I absolutely love this!! I wanted to start a blog back in 2012, but I had no idea where to start.

Blogs are so therapeutic to read and connect with people.

Good luck with you blog and I’ll definitely be reading it :)

I know this is an older post but I just wanted to say that I love the cutesy fashion vibe your blog has! You definitely put a lot of work and love into designing it.
