Content | Deleting Your Old or Embarrassing Content

I would bet all the chocolate in my stash that when you first started blogging you wrote about anything that seemed people would want to read and added a whole lot of photos and graphics that violated every copyright infringement law that is currently in place. I will also be that you didn't know any better and that you hadn't put in the research needed to make sure you A | weren't violating anything and B | actually had no idea what your "blogging voice" actually was.

I would also wager my chocolate stash and my wine stash that you still have all those posts sitting on your blog, embarrassing you and the professional blogger that you have since become. You're not really sure what to do with those posts; can they be salvaged? Can you delete them? What the heck do you do with them now that you have found your voice and you're doing rather well as a blogger (if you do say so yourself ha!)

Well my lovelies, Elley is here to save the day. I have some fantastic solutions to the old and embarrassing content dilemma you currently find yourself in as well as what you actually can do with those old posts. Ready to see them? Clickity clack, Jack!

Tips&Tricks | How To Keep All Those Posts Organized with Evernote

Let's face it, you have a lot of blog posts. Or, if you're a new blogger, you are going to have a lot of blog posts. That means you have content of many forms: text, graphics, resources, links, its never ending. So much goes into one single blog post that it can be really hard to keep it all organized. 

So I thought today I would share with you my "secret weapon" (it's really not secret, it just sounds better if I say it is) to keeping all of my posts clean and organized, in order and ready to go or archived for later viewing/editing: Evernote.

Yes, I am well aware that you have seen bloggers talking about Evernote for days. We all love it. We all need it. But I'm betting my breakfast that just because you have all seen the need for Evernote, doesn't mean you have all jumped on board and started using it. And that is what this post is all about. 

Clickity clack, jack!

Blogging | How to Plan A Scheduled Blog Break

I don't know how many of you noticed that I haven't been posting on Elle Ay Esse: Personal + Lifestyle Blog at all lately. The truth is that I haven't had time. I wish I had taken the time to schedule my blogs break but I didn't and now I am facing all kinds of challenges with coming back when I am finally ready to carve out some time to post. Take it from me personally when I say that if I could go back and schedule a long break for myself, I would leap at the opportunity. 

Sadly I can't go back and change my unscheduled blogging break, but I can give you all a guide on how to plan one for yourself. 

So if you're considering taking a blogging break or don't want to be caught unprepared, get clicky with it and let's go!
