THE BEST of Wanda’s Life Sampler is on tap for today’s course homework.
Blogging University professor Krista advises:
Why do this?
- Because a go-to page compiling your best posts is the simplest way to get readers to your content — you never know which post pique someone’s interest, so make the good ones easy to find.
- Because while your About page does a great job introducing you, a curated selection of posts further illustrates your perspectives.
WAYS I CAN DO THIS
- Refer to past posts in the current post.
- Use widgets such as Top Posts, Archives and Categories.
- Use Related Posts feature at the end of the current post.
- Then, there’s a “Best of” page which can be added to the main menu and to the About page.
I have a “Quilt Gallery” and a “Tips & Tutorials” page, but I include every associated post on those pages.
For my homework, I’ve added a page called, “Quilt Porn,” as my best of section. It’s the really hot stuff on my blog.
Giving you free quilt porn,
Wanda
I’m learning so much by you posting about your process. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for continuing to tune in to my blog. The New Quilters Blog Hop introduced me to so many wonderful bloggers and quilters. I’m excited to keep blogging.

Hello Wanda. Thank you for your interesting blog university posts…. read it all so far. I admire how you have overworked and redesigned your blog. After oneand a half year with my blog I feel it need a restauration… at the beginning it was just fun but that changed in a way. So beside my daily work (I have a full time job) it is a second job and a kind of work. I often felt the pressure to post something (Oh, already 2 weeks since my last post…). And it is very time consuming to write a post. So I am a little blogging lazy at the moment and try to use my time to create… on the other hand a “successful” blog with a high visitors traffic needs a lot of care…

Thanks. It is like having a second job. I enjoy the creativity involved as much as I enjoy creating quilts. That’s one of the reasons I took the Blogging course — to learn what works. Taking it one step at a time has helped.
