starting and managing ur blog⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🍰

so you wanna start a blog? in this post i’ll break down effective ways to start, manage and maintain a blog (from my own experience of course) i hope u find this helpful ✨

TOPIC AND IDEA ; 

to have a blog you need an idea or concept about what your blog will be about. make your blog about either something that you know a lot about/are proficient in.

or blog about something that u are learning about as a way to track ur progress and learn new information. you could blog about something that you love a lot etc etc. 

AESTHETIC ; 

what is your aesthetic? for me it’s hyper feminine and pink and just DIVINE. when u choose and stick to an aesthetic it’ll give ur blog kind of a signature which is important for the rest of this post. 

when u have an aesthetic in mind for ur blog make sure that you have plenty of pins on pinterest that mesh nicely with ur aesthetic so u can find things like headers, dividers, photos and emojis that suit the aesthetic of ur blog. 

RESOURCES ; 

pinterest is my holy grail for resources. there u can find headers and photos to use in ur posts to give ur audience something visually pleasing to look at while they read ur post. 

what ur gonna want to start off ur blog aesthetic and theme is ; 

a header 

a color scheme (for coloring/bolding words. and the colors for ur blog page in general)

an informative bio 

a pfp 

dividers 

START OFF POST IDEAS ; 

if u want to run a well organized blog there are a couple posts that i think are beneficial for u to make. in fact the most important post that i think any blog should have is a MASTERLIST.

master lists are great for a multitude of things. they help ur audience to navigate ur blog easier and see all that you have to offer in one convenient tap of their finger. plus when u make navigating ur blog easy, more people will experience ur content which will mean more interactions with ur post.

not only does it help the audience but it also helps u to know what u did and didn’t post, so that u can plan effectively for the future. it’s also a fun way to see how much u posted. i recommend making a new masterlist every year or when you can’t put any more links onto it 💀. if u want a reference for a good masterlist you can check out mine right here.

CONSISTENCY ; 

consistency is key in anything and everything and blogging is no exception. i recommend not blogging in a competitive nature, rather i think in order to be consistent with something like a blog you should genuinely just do it for funsies/passion and as a way to have ur own authentic creative outlet.

i don’t have a set posting schedule bcuz i don’t want blogging to feel like a chore when in reality it’s just a hobby that happened to gain an audience because people enjoyed it. and because people enjoy what i write, it in return makes me happy and wanna write more.

SIGNATURE ; 

i cannot stress this enough but when u have a platform whether it’s small or big individuality sets you apart! have something that sets u apart like personalized hash-tags, a way that u talk, etc etc. 

personalize hash-tags with things like emojis. also, USE UR HASHTAGS because when someone looks up something like “self improvement” your post will be what they see if u add those hashtags.

furthermore if u personalize those hashtags it sets u apart and gives ur blog a kind of brand and individuality in a way. like a signature at the end of a post.

THINGS TO KEEP TRACK OF ;

what posts you’ve done/want to do

upcoming projects or ideas that u have

how your following/interactions are growing or shrinking

how much $ u get from tips

inbox questions or dms to answer

your plans and goals

your personalized hashtags

i hope this post was helpful to anyone who has been thinking about or wants to create their own blog, i encourage you to do so ✨

hmm. friendship day. 30th July.

I have learnt that there is a friendship day, and therefore we should vote on who is best friends instead.

Rules:

- Try to suggest characters that you think work best as friends, not lovers

- Any kind of pairing is good, adult+child, human+animal etc. Which is probably implied already but just so you're sure.

- This can be as ridiculous as you want. You can make joke pairings if you want.

This will happen on just the 30th and then polls will resume as normal. And feel free to suggest what the voting options should be, i'm not sure yet.

[illarian-rambling]

Because my brain is very very forgetful, I'm just realizing now that I don't have individual character intros for any of my Starbreaker or Wild Type characters. Would yall like to see those?

(Tagging my taglist and a few others who might be interested)

(Have a bitchin day!)

Feel free to suggest what the poll options should be. I made these as an example but I don't think they're perfect. It'd be good to have a solid template when I start posting polls.

[dyspunktional-leviathan]

hey, i&m not sure if youre aware yet or not, but unfortunately your blog is marked as "potentially mature content" now ::///

we're not sure if that has any bearing on your experience/what that really means for your blog aside from an extra barrier to entry and being blocked off to ppl who dont have "mature content" turned on, but we wanted to let you know.....

[~ roman, silva, dirk(&), & a few others(?)]

Oh, holy shit, I had no idea. Ty& for alerting me!!!

I honestly don't know anything about these markings other than what you&'ve said, but I'll try to figure things out & how to undo that, ig.

It's so random. Thought it could be the today's incest reblog, but I've reblogged other similar posts in the past, as well as a lot of other things that could have earned me that, and posted some?..

[ccbybudgie]

hi everyone! so i've noticed that a lot of people have found this place and i just wanted to tell you that i'm fully aware that all the dropbox links are dead 😬 i will try re-upload the stuff at some point, but it's just not on my priority list right now, so i'm sorry for that ❤️

[do-you-know-this-adhd-character]

I think I need to put the blog on semi-hiatus for a while

I didn't want to, but, well... I'm sure you've noticed I'm still missing posts. I'm still deep in the Dawntrail hyperfixation, and there's other stuff I'm trying to get done at my therapist's recommendation, and I've completely fucked my sleep schedule...

This is not the end for the blog. I love this blog, and it won't end until I run out of submissions. But right now trying to remember to post every day, and the realization oh no it's 1:30am and I forgot to post... it's causing me more stress than joy right now.

I will be back. And I'll post when I can. But I think what's best for me right now is to let myself miss days without beating myself up, and I couldn't do that in good conscience without letting y'all know what's going on.

I'm sorry about this. I love all of you guys, and I'll see you soon.

[astrobookwormsinger]

If anybody cares I might be unfollowing and re-following some of the accounts I'm currently following, I can't follow new blogs since Tumblr has a stupid limit of 5k for some reason so I'm clearing the list out. There are a lot of blogs that are inactive or no longer relevant to my interests that aren't really my type of thing anymore. Nothing personal, promise.

If we're mutuals/old mutuals/friends/anything else, please drop me a reply on this post so I remember to follow you.

I post occasional art which can be found at my sister's blog (since this blog is, honestly, a mess, and she has more reach than I do anyway): @chocochipjewel . She has her own art there too but mine is tagged #astrobookwormsinger for clarity.

Going on Hiatus

Apologizes in advance to all Irondad fans. I’ve been going through some health shit lately and need to take some time off from prompts to figure out wtf is going on and heal from wtf is going on

I’ll still be semi active on tumblr as usual, bur until further notice, new prompts are on pause. Hope y’all understand

[birds-in-posts]

Queue is getting pretty low; reminder that this blog accepts submissions and tagging it in posts (even if they're obvious or the ID has already been provided) is more than welcome!

realpokemon opening commissions for the week!

i take payment through paypal or my ko-fi!

i also do non-pokémon work!! for any non-simple backgrounds, please bear with me as the price varies wildly based on complexity. chat it out with me!!

[ask-princessandromeda]

Okay, admit it honestly, which of you, minors (Luke, this you you, too), has tried cigarettes, alcohol or something heavier? When and how?

[Hi, anon. Thanks for the ask, but right now I will have to use it to let everybody know that I won’t be comfortable with addressing such topics. It’s no problem that you send it, but to inform you in a conclusive way, here is a rough list of heavy topics that I WON’T discuss on this blog:

•substance abuse; drugs, underage consumption of alcohol and alcoholism

•obviously SA and any type of non-con (not even mentioned or implied)

•sexual content (not even vaguely suggested) Kelli asks I’m looking at you

•domestic abuse

•any physically abusive relationships (emotionally abusive relationships are a gray area, and it depends heavily on the context and intensity)

•self-harm

[Thank you.]

Do you guys want a crackship day on 6/9

Ninth of June. I am using the #cringe american system for the joke.

Send me some shitty ships and jokes and i'll make it happen. Send them as an ask so I can easily keep them separate from the serious ones. The rules are discarded for this event and you can submit whatever you want. Except for the banned fandoms.

Check ( #april fools ) for examples of previous ones!

[illarian-rambling]

Hey so I've got a question for people on my taglist (cause I get anxious about tagging people in things that aren't tag games)

I probably should've clarified this when I made my taglist, but that's how it goes sometimes. Also, feel free to lmk if you'd like to be added or taken off!

[EDIT: To clarify, when I say asks, I mean like the ask game list of asks itself, not my answers]

Next time I'm feeling down on poetry I need to remember to go through my #poetry tag, there's some good shit in there! Or shit I like, which honestly is more important to me
