New Author-Blogger Facebook Group

I should totally NOT start any new Facebook groups, I know, but I do blog about blogging on my main book and I've written an ebook on blogging called 'Getting More Blog Traffic: Steps Towards a Happier Blogging Life.' So I thought I'd start a new group called 'Making Author Blogs Great Again!'

The idea is for author-bloggers to get together, follow one another's blogs by various means, and have the more experienced author-bloggers with good blog traffic make simple suggestions on what to do to make your blog better. I'm also planning to put up a post once a week where people are invited to post a link to one of their recent blog posts in a comment.

I personally am planning to follow all the blogs of group members on Bloglovin' and perhaps put them into our blogroll on this blog called 'Author Blogs.' (I'm also putting up some blogs of more famous authors in that blogroll, though I've had a hard time finding famous-author blogs where the most recent post isn't expressing hatred of a certain political leader that they didn't vote for. I'm not cool with hate of anybody. OK, well, Hitler. If you have to. I don't hate Hitler, I just wish he'd have stuck with his artist career instead of going into the people-killing business.)

So--- if you are reading this and you have an author blog, you are welcome to join the group. So long as you can be civil and not try to post private-parts pictures, anyway. But I'm sure if you have read this far into the post I'm sure you are cool like that. (Readers are generally cool, aren't they?) The link is: https://www.facebook.com/groups/310331253293318/

I have not designed a Canva cover graphic for the group yet, as I'm hoping one of the group members with more design gifts might be moved to do that. And of course if everyone hates the group name but me the name will be changed and if it is part of the cover graphic the cover graphic will be changed.

I'm hoping some of you that read this will come to my 'party' and join my group. (In which case, it will be your group, too.) But if you would rather do something else, that's good, too.

Thank you for reading this post on this almost-abandoned blog which I only keep for the blogrolls.
