It's Follow Friday #41


Yes, it's that time of the week again! It's Follow Friday which is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. The question of the week is:
What would you do over if you were to start your blog again from scratch?

Oh jeez. I'd make sure sure my Twitter handle matched my blog, I'd get a professional blog design done off the bat, and I'd pick a shorter--and easier to remember--blog name. Granted, I've spent so much time with my current Twitter handle that I don't think I'll ever change it and I personally prefer just having one Twitter account.

But definitely the second two. Honestly, I might be--who am I kidding? I am--biased, but I think my blog's current design looks much better than how it looked when I kept swapping out backgrounds. As for my blog's name, well, it's a mouthful, to be sure! At the same time, I'm unsure what I'd name a new book blog--I don't trust myself to be that original a second time.

    Love your blog design and answer! I've been trying to figure out a concrete design for my blog as well. I'm a new GFC Follower!

    I really like your blog design, you have a great color scheme.

    My Twitter handle doesn't match my blog as well ;)

    I LOVE your blog design. It is so gorgeous and I your banner too. Personally, I don't think your blog name isn't that long. In fact, I find it super cute! :)

    That's something else I didn't think about when I wrote my post. I probably would have dreamed up a different name, but mine wasn't originally a book blog.

    Have a wonderful weekend!

    I love your blog design and your blog title! I don't think it's too long at all. But I know the feeling. Sometimes I wish I my blog title had been more creative.

    Ha-ha, I feel the same way about Twitter! I kept my personal Twitter account and tied it to my blog. And I agree with the other comments, I really like your blog name ^_^

    Oh, having a long blog name does make it hard to match your twitter handle doesn't it... Ah well, it's super cute anyway and so is your blog design! Did you do it yourself or did someone else put it together for you? I'm sort of flirting with the idea of re-doing mine at some point too, but I'm not tech-inclined so it always turns into such a hassle! I look forward to reading your reviews :)

    Lovely blog you have here! I think my own twitter account has nothing to do with my blog name as well :P lovely answer!

    Followed you on RSS :)

    Same here! I don't think my blog name would be better the next time around. At first, I had changed it three times! New follower.

    Great answer, I should probably have done the pro blog design thing, too (I'm still struggling with the look of my blog!) but I do adore your current design!! New follower :)

    I hear what you mean about handle's matching. I had to do some shuffling around with that when I started seriously blogging. Great answer! And for the record, I really like your blog title. Might be a mouthful, but it stands out! :D Happy Friday! My FFs are at Musings on Fantasia and LKHill if you want to follow back!

    I like your blog design -- it's simple, pretty, and adds character without being distracting. I totally agree, though -- I spent way too much time swapping backgrounds and changing colors. I think I finally have mine where I like it (but watch me change something else next week!)

    Yeah, I'd agree with others, your blog name is nice. I know what you mean about getting a professional design down. It's so important cause it's like a first impression on a blog, definitely the first thing I notice when I go to a new blog for the first time.

    I'm seriously thinking about a professional background. Totally understand where you are coming from -- My blog is really homemade...but Im' pretty poor. Who knows though, it's a goal for the future!

    Have a wonderful week!

    I like your blog name, and like you I struggle with a background, I finally just decided to go with a basic color, hope to change it up at some point. I am now following via GFC and look forward to reading your reviews. WV Stitcher
