I'm honored to Guest Post here today. Thank you, Aunt Joyce!
At first, I was not sure what to write about today. But thought it could have to do with blogging.
This morning I had an emergency posting! GSUSA had opened up a surprise special event from another Council (Area), so I went to my Unofficial Girl Scout Blog and posted about it.
I rushed it and then came back here.

How I blog for fun and (just a teensy bit of...) profit.
I started to blog because it was fun. And I loved having an audience, too!
As far as profit goes, money does trickle in a little bit sometimes. But not often. But that can change later. You never know. A tip: you do pay taxes on your earnings, so keep track.
Some more about What I have Learned about Blogging: ads, etc.
There is a LOT to learn about blogging! I am still learning.
If you just want to have fun, and share info. and stories, ads on your blog can be OK, as long as the ads don't get in the way of your stories.
I may switch to another platform (maybe Wordpress?) down the road, because I love fun plug-ins, like maps, signup forms, etc. and it's fun to experiment. But I will try to keep these Blogger blogs, too.
Making Time
Like most things, I know that I have to MAKE time for things that I want to do. Blogging is one of these things I hope to make even more time for in the future. So I make a plan, and a list, and use my calendar - a lot.
Some say people should write in blogs every day.
I do think at least once a week is a good goal (or blog more if you can).
Have fun!
OK - here comes some advice.
Is blogging fun for you? Is it something you would like to try? I say, make an account here on Blogger, and go ahead and make a posting. It is free here on Blogger to try it. Then keep on doing it.
If you already have a blog, comment after this posting, and let me know about it so that I can go there and comment. :-)
Besides being a fun hobby, blogging can be a great brain exercise! So even doing it just for that is worth it.
If you are like me, you will want to edit your blog postings - a lot.
This was fun today! So thanks for joining me here!
