Guest blogging!

I'm excited to have the opportunity to be a guest blogger over at Little Homestead in the City!

The online world has changed DRAMATICALLY since I started blogging 11 years ago. All sorts of strategies for branding (my selection of JBB was not the most brilliant branding move...) and building traffic and finding a niche audience and "monetizing" your blog and having a consistent presence across all social media sites, etc.

But, at the basic level, blogging is still about writing, and I am looking forward to the chance to write in this medium more often.
