My Blogging Tools

So as I am writing this post I see that it is more for myself than for anybody else. I need to document everything that I started to use while creating this blog and see if I add or change up. I am a novice at this point but if this is beneficial to you GREAT, I’m glad I could be of some help.

I actually created a blog on both Wordpress and Blogger, it just fit me better to work from blogger now. I eventually will own a domain so I can remove that pesky “.blogspot” tag but first I want to get a foundation on what it is to be a blogger.

1. Post-Its

I use Post-Its often. I get an idea, I write it on the post-it. It will go there before I put it in my notebook.

2. Notebooks

I use two different notebooks for blogging. I have my “blogging” notebook which is where I write out any tips, tricks, notes, etc. specifically about blogging in general. This notebook is useful because I love learning but I also like to stay organized so I am able to keep my tips and tricks separate from my ideas. My second notebook is my writing notebook. This notebook is where I write all of my drafts before I type them up, all of my ideas and brainstorming is in this notebook. 

3. Calendar

I also use a calendar as my ‘editorial calendar’.  With this I am able to plan out my posts in advance, as well as figure out what will go into the post. 

4. iPad Mini

I love my iPad Mini. It was a gift from my husband and I didn’t know what I was missing until this precious tool came into my life. I use it every single day. I read other blogs on it. I take notes on it. I save pictures. I browse Pinterest. Like I said, this gadget is precious.

5. Camera(s)

For photos, I am using three different cameras. I have my iPhone 5, my FujiFilm Finepix t400 slim body camera, and the Canon EOS Rebel T5i Digital SLR camera. I am used to being in front of the camera so I am still learning about being behind the camera. Practice makes perfect so welcome to my evolution.

6. MacBook Pro

Last but certainly not least, I use my MacBook Pro for everything else. I am never going back to a PC. You couldn’t pay me enough.

So there you have it. After blogging for about a month, these are the things that I use. I’m sure it will change but I like my set up right now.
