    People read blogs to get information to solve a problem (Money Journal, 2016). Chances are you are reading this right now because you have ran into a case of writer's block. I have been there before more often than not actually and I have sought for ways to get out of that certain situation all over the internet. Among the many advice that I received from various social media platforms there were only three ways that really got me out of my writer's block.

    Sharing is good and with digital technology, sharing is easy (Stallman, n.d.). I decided to put those three effective useful tips in one post in hopes of being able to help you get out of your own writer's block so here are 3 ways to help you come up with new blog post ideas.


    1. Online Articles
    Through reading online articles you will be expose to new information and new things that not only could help you come up with your own blog post idea but it could expose you to new ways of solving a problem as well. Taking a chunk out of an already existing article and putting your own twist to it based on how you understand it is a good way to keep yourself generate [more] ideas that could essentially help you into making your best blog post yet. 

    I use the mobile application "Pocket" that allows me to save tons of articles to read offline on my spare time. A certain article from the mobile application has inspired me to write this very post that you are reading right now so reading articles online could definitely help you come up with blog post ideas.




    2. Magazines
    Assuming that the magazines that you pick out are the ones that has something to do with your blog niche, this method allows you to come up with blog post ideas around that niche. Pick yourself a Cosmopolitan Magazine if your niche is beauty and fashion or a Wanderlust Travel Magazine if your niche is all about travelling. There are topics, tips and tricks in there that could give you an idea on what to write about on your next blog post. You could even do the same article but with your own twist to it to give it a new flavor.

    This is a favorite method of mine to do because we have a lot of magazines around the house. Even the magazines that were published many years back could help you come up with your own topics that are relevant in today's society.


    3. Pinterest
    Pinterest is where people discover new ideas and find inspiration to do the things they love ("All About Pinterest", n.d.). It covers a variety of categories from business to weddings, make-up to home decor and photography to travelling. There are a lot more categories worth mentioning but that is for you to find out!

    Pinterest is usually the place where I find inspirations for flatlay photography, tips and tricks on how to take good photos and all that good stuff. It is easy to navigate around Pinterest and find pictures that inspires you. It is available in both website form and as a mobile application so you could pretty much take it with you wherever you go.

    Happy New Year!

    I can't believe it's been two years already since I've started blogging here and there. Time just flew by crazy fast. I wouldn't say that I am now a veteran, I still have a lot to learn and to improve in terms of blogging but over the past two years that I have been doing so I couldn't help but notice the significance of HTML and CSS have on your blog.

    The more aesthetically pleasing the blog is to a readers eyes, the more likely they're going to like it and the chances of them staying and subscribing are very high.

    Of course the content of your blog matters too but just like how a human being is attracted to another, you have to atleast look presentable and decent. Your blog has to capture the attention of your reader first with the theme and layout of your blog.

    Today I am going to teach you the basics of HTML that every blogger should know. These are also the basic attributes that I was taught in school so I'm [definitely] going to be having fun writing this post.


    Image
    <img src="#" alt="this text is going to show up when your image fails to load">

    You can configure its height and width. The hashtag is where the link is supposed to go.

    Example: <img src="thenameofyourimage.jpg" alt="a picture of my hand with the thing">




    Image Link
    <a href="#"><img src="#"></a>

    Clicking this image will direct you to another blog post or site. Click the image below!

    Example: <a href="http://danidotyes.blogspot.com/2017/02/mudfacialmask.html"><img src="thenameofyourimage.jpg"></a>






    Text Link
    <a href="#">this text is now a link</a>

    Example:
    The Benefits of the Rejuvenating: Glorious Mud Facial Mask


    Favicon
    <head>
         <link rel="#" type="#" href="#">
    </head>

    Example: <link href='/favicon.ico' rel='icon' type='image/x-icon'/>

    Don't forget to convert your image to .ico

    There's this site that I've used to convert the favicon that I made for my blog (which you could see above) Favicon & App Icon Generator. It also includes the <link href, rel, and type> that you can easily copy and paste to the html of your blog. Your favicon needs to be 16 x 16 pixels in terms of its height.

    So the favicon needs to be in between the head element for it to work.

    You can't really see it well since it's 16 x 16 pixels but here's the look of the favicon that I've made. This is not the final design of my favicon, I'm still thinking of a good design to represent my blog.


    If you want I can make your very own favicon to finalized the look of your blog, just subscribe to my blog and let me know!


    Headings
    HTML includes six levels of headings which are

    <h1> </h1>
    <h2> </h2>
    <h3> </h3>
    <h4> </h4>
    <h5> </h5>
    <h6> </h6>

    The text goes in between those tags.

    This is h1

    This is h2

    This is h3

    This is h4

    This is h5
    This is h6
    So that is it for this post if you want more of these kind let me know in the comments below, also let me know if this was helpful for you!
