    Hi!!:) I'm pretty new here and I was meaning to put up a question on blogging, and I'm hoping I'm at the right place...
    Well here goes, I run a blog thekaleidoscopian.com and I do get a good number of views a day but not much feedback, I searched on how to improve my audience and one option was sharing your posts on forums so I decided share a few on here .
    I blog about Street Style, Talent, Music, Events, African Fashion , Do a couple give-aways and showcase a couple of my outfits too.
    I'm taking Liberal Sciences in Sudbury , ON
    so I do some Sudbury Street Style Features , like S.S.S (SUDBURY STREET STYLE); CICI Y
    I also do Street Style Features outta Sudbury too like S.S.S (STREET STYLE SPECIAL) : CAROLINE OSAGIE, for Talent, I call the Category Kaleidoscope Spotlight like *KALEIDOSCOPE SPOTLIGHT* ODUDU PHOTOGRAPHY |SUMMER 2013 and for African Fashion I feature designers like AFRICAN FASHION; MISS ANYANWU and on outfit posts of mine, I call the Category YB one of my most recent outfits on the blog is the one I wore for my birthday * IT’S MY BIRTHDAY ! :) *
    Like I said I'm just putting up a few posts here, you can definitely see more on the different categories when you visit the blog, I'll be doing a giveaway pretty soon too :)

    So pleaseeee If you have a blog you'll like me to visit please share as well , I hope I didn't go on for too long :( But please check it out, leave me your feedbacks! Thank you all very much :)

    Hey,

    I checked out your blog and I have some suggestions to "improve your blogs audience". This is some tough love I'm afraid.

    1. Post your posts in fashion forums, not webmaster forums like this one!
    2. Get rid of the Merry Christmas gifs in the background - It makes it difficult to stay on your site too long, I almost had a seizure.
    3. I think the layout is cluttered (I've never seen so much stuff in a footer), maybe experiment with a minimal theme.
    4. The comments box is too far down! I imagine you don't get much feedback as you have to scroll past an advert, share section, related posts AND a featured video.
    5. You need to change your 'favicon' (the little symbol that appears in the tab) as it's still the Wordpress default.

    Sorry if I've bummed you out, I get frustrated as you have so much potential with this blog!

    Send me a message if you need help or advice implementing any of my rude suggestions :p

    I think it's called 'Start a conversation' now for some reason!

    It should pop up if you click my name :)

    element01 just said it all, to get more exposure try commenting on related blog posts, print
    a flyer and distribute them in your committee, seminars, or schools etc just to get it more
    expose.

    Hope this helps?
