Do you feel pressure to move to WordPress? Are you feeling left behind thinking everyone is over there? I used to feel that way, but the longer I have been on blogger the more I realize it can be a great platform to blog on. I love blogger and have been blogging for over 5 years on the blogger platform. I am not an expert when it comes to blog design or html and coding, but I have figured out quite a few things over the ...
We've got an awesome guest post for you today from Stephanie of Jornie.com She's sharing a neat way to make round-up posts look more professional.
