Four Tips for Creating Community through Blogging

1. Reach out to other bloggers:  this is an  essential when wanting to get into community. It can be as small as a comment on their blog, or an email. I have built relationships with other bloggers through email, commenting on their blogs, etc. For me it has been a beneficial thing, to create community in something that I really didn't know there was any.  This is a great post on why bloggers need community. 


2. Join a blog group on Facebook, or some other social media group: I have joined the Peony Project on facebook which is a group for other christian bloggers. It's a great group and i would definitely recommend it! 


3. Make meaningful comments: when I say meaningful comments I don't mean that you have to write a novel, but at least engage with the post somehow. Check out Madison's post on how to comment on blogs to find out more. 


4. Plan a blogger Meetup: If you there are some other bloggers in your area or some that are close to where you live, then plan a blogger meetup. It can be a great way to connect with other bloggers and actually meet some of them in real life. This post on how to plan a blogger meetup, has some great advice.

    I've been loving the community I've found through blogging! I have so many virtual friends (and a few in-person) I'd never have met if not for blogging. It took a while to really start connecting, but now that i think about it, meaningful comments and emails are what brought about most of them. That and the awesome group at the Peony Project.

    Reaching out to other bloggers and creating community is so so important! I have come to realize that my blog wouldn't be anything if I didn't have other bloggers supporting me!

    I would love to find other bloggers in my area, but I kinda live out in the middle of no where. Maybe later in the year I could make it a priority to find some bloggers who live by me and make something happen.
    I love Peony Project! Everyone there is so helpful and encouraging. Found your post there. :-)

    Thanks for sharing these tips! I just joined the blogging community a few weeks ago, and I'm eager to get to know other writers. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming -- like walking into a party where I don't know anybody, and everyone else seems to know each other! But I'm trying to work on taking one step and saying one hello at a time.

The Wetherills Say I Do | Guest Post

Founders Note: Today on the blog we have one of our August sponsors Madison of The Wetherills Say I Do . She is also one of my blogging friends, I have enjoyed working with her this month and am excited to continue in the future, she is a sweet girl with a big heart for others and Jesus! Today She is sharing her heart on this months theme: Beauty in the Brokenness. So be sure to check out her blog at the links below! If you've ever heard a group of people share their testimonies, a lot of them have a common thread: brokenness. A lot of now believers had to come to a very low point in their lives before they had their breaking moment of calling out to Jesus. Have you ever wondered why that is? Why is it that so many of us have to hit rock bottom before we'll realize our infinite need for a Savior? I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know that in my darkest moments, I've seen the Lord hand out grace and turn brokenness into beauty. We all tend t...

Finding Comfort in the "Waiting Room"

Founders Note: Today's post is written by our new friend Brooke. Her blog is called "Living as a Single Gal". (you can find the link below) We've just discovered Brooke's blog and we look forward to unwrapping more of the great wisdom she has to share. Without further ado, here is her post... Imagine, if you will, that you are in a waiting room. The room is crowded; people standing, people on chairs, people sitting on the floor; this room is totally packed full. And all of these people are waiting. Waiting for what you may ask? That’s simple; love. You are standing in a corner with some of your girlfriends having some laughs. Then one of them gets called out of the room. Then another. Then another; another one bites the dust. One by one all of your single girlfriends are leaving the waiting room and finding true love. Not only are your friends leaving you, but the rest room seems to empty out significantly. And then there’s you. --...
