The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer @ Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended on December 31, 2012. With Jennifer’s permission, it was relaunched on February 15, 2013 by Billy @ the Ramblings of a coffee addict. . Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end the following Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. The hop’s purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to your own blog.
I just love this meme and the questions that come up. They generate so much discussion which is so great.
This weeks question is: Have you ever experienced a blogging nightmare? If so, what was it?(submitted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer))
Not really. I’m not a very technically minded person so I’ve always stuck with the basic WordPress blogging platform that I first started to use in 2012. I sometimes see other blogs on the platform and they look much more creative and inviting than mine but whenever I’ve tried to change things around, I often end up with a worse result and I get frustrated at the waste of time. That isn’t really a nightmare though.
The worst nightmare is trying to keep up with reading all of the blogs that I follow and posting comments on them. I love to read all the different posts but it isn’t always easy to find the time and then I begin to feel guilty . Again though, I don’t think that really qualifies as a nightmare.
Have you ever had a disaster on your blog?
I’ve had a few minor issues, but nothing I would consider a nightmare.
I am the same Janette. I also struggle with reading all the posts from the many bloggers I follow. I have especially gotten behind with this two week vacation. My worst thing to happen while blogging was posting a post before it was finished by mistake, but that is not too bad.
I agree that it’s tough to keep up with everyone’s posts!! I feel bad, too, but try to tell myself it’s ok, that everyone should understand because they’re probably in a similar situation. I’ve thankfully never had a blogging nightmare, knock on wood. I guess the closest thing would be when I accidentally swapped in a main character’s mother’s name for the MC…but again, not a big deal and easy to edit later.
I agree. It’s fun to catch up with everyone, see how they’re doing, discuss what we’re all reading but—damn—if you don’t keep up with comments.. you’re likely to end up buried. 😅
As long as I stick to my normal schedule, I can get my blog hopping/reading done. I have to do it first thing in the morning with my first cup of coffee – so all weird responses can be blamed on not being fully awake by the way 😂😂😂
