Yup, that's right... we've got our second award! This time it's the Blogger Recognition award and we were nominated by the lovely blogger from http://itsnira.weebly.com/. Please check her blog out, she's such a lovely person and you won't be disappointed! Onto the rest of the post!
Okay, so here are the rules for if you are nominated:
1) Write a post to show your award
2) Acknowledge the blogger who nominated you
3) Give a brief story about why you started blogging
4) Give two pieces of advice to new bloggers.
5) Nominate 15 other bloggers/blogs for the award
Why did we start a blog?
We started blogging in 2015, mainly because me (Aleeha) and Lucy were bored! I suggested starting a blog and so we ended up creating 'a blog by 4 best friends' on February 2nd 2015 with our other two best friends, Holly and Eleanor. Since then, not only has the blog grown, but it has also changed quite a bit. The blog is basically just a blog by me and Lucy now. I usually write the majority of the posts that go up whilst Lucy creates any graphics, does any blog design related work and also a lot of the work behind the scenes that can sometimes go unnoticed, but is just as important!
2 pieces of advice to new bloggers
My first piece of advice is to just be yourself... no one wants to find themselves reading a blog that's just like another blog! What's the point in that?! It can take a while to find your blogging style, but once you find it, just stick to it because there isn't any point in writing about a certain topic when it's not something you're interested in!
My second piece of advice is to make sure you're a 'lovely blogger who's part of the blogging community'. No one is going to notice your blog if you don't comment on other blogs and use social media to promote your own posts! However... please don't go commenting on other people's posts just to use them as a way to advertise your own blog! Trust me, a lot of hard work gets put into those posts! If you want to link your blog then just link it at the end of your comment... people can click on it if they wish, but that should not be the purpose of your comment!
