Improvements & Reposts

Well we are fast approaching the four month mark of this adventure in blogging, and what a learning experience I have had. It’s pretty clear to me that when I started blogging I had no idea what I was doing. After reading articles on “How to improve your blog” I have tried to do so, I’m also regularly reading about 25-30 food blogs to help the cause. In that time I have discovered many wonderful food blogs… Most of them are very impressive, so I’m going to do my best to add to the conservation. So from time to time I’m going to go through the archives and pick a post to improve. For the most part I will be adding photos.

If there are any requests or suggestions, please feel free.

Thank You
