Thanks to all of you who tuned in last Thursday to our first ever #blogchatie tweet chat. For those who missed it, or those of you who want to catch up on the tweets, you can find a recap here.
It quickly emerged that one hour wasn’t enough to cover all you wanted to discuss about your new year’s blogging resolutions – so we will be taking more time in the coming weeks to focus in on your questions.
Here is a sample of some of the common themes that came up during the chat.
Images – Sourcing, Manipulating, Copyright.
my goal is to improve the images i post with my blogs #blogchatie not the product images, but the images at start of blog to entice reader

Finding The Time To Blog
@writeontrack_l a lot comes down to time again, I honestly would not have the time required to head over to a blog every day #blogchatie

How Often Should You Blog (And Still Maintain Quality)
yes RT @writeontrack_l: Do people unsubscribe to blogs that update too often?? #blogchatie

Editorial Calendar – what is it, why you should use, best use of.
@writeontrack_l I’ve developed an editorial calendar of sorts so I keep my posts focused on certain topics #BlogChatIE

We are running a poll on our Facebook page to decide which topic which should cover in our next #blogchatie. We want this chat to reflect your needs so do let us know by voting in the poll.
The post about images resonates with me. I’d appreciate some feedback on how to position images better in a blog. They come out in weird sizes and places and I find it hard to move them around to where I want them to be. As a result, they’re either tiny or huge!
Also, I’m aiming to be a small bit more personal in my blogs, to give more of a sense of my identity. I’ll tell more anecdotes and adopt a quirky tone.
I tend to devote time to real life in the evenings, but I look forward to following how this all goes – it’s a great idea.
I hope you join in Derbhile and I’ll do a post re images soon
