Hey family! 

Hope you missed me as much as I did you?
  Sorry I have been away *covers face*

My birthday is in less than two weeks from today. It is on Thursday August 6th, 2015.

Here are a few things I would love to get as birthday gifts. I have put in as much information to ease purchase of these items if you wish to get any or all for me. *hugs* and *kisses*

 I pray that The Lord shall provide for you and bless you as you make my dreams come true! Lol!

1. A Nikon D300 camera
As a blogger, good and quality photos are very important. I personally prefer Nikon cameras to Canon. 
This one in particular has most of the functions I need.

It is available here.

2. A cake
What is a birthday without a cake? Personal favorites are red velvet or fruit cakes.

3. A vintage bracelet
 I am a sucker for accessories. I have boxes filled with them and a girl cannot really get enough of them now can she? 

As soon as I laid eyes on this one, I feel in love. 

You can get a similar one here

4. The book- God's Generals by Roberts Liardon
I have heard and read a lot of reviews about this book; it is one every Christian ought to read. I do not know why I am yet to get it but I guess that is what God has sent you to do in my life. :) 

5. Casual maxi dress
  If you hate to do the laundry; ironing precisely, you would understand why these maxi dresses are life savers! 
I wear mine in size- Large or U.k size 14.

Here are some skills you need to have! Enjoy!

 

IMAGE EDITING

 

 

Pictures or Images play a very vital role in blogging and you are required as a blogger to know how to edit and create images using some image editing tools.

Asides having to download them on to your PC, you can find some online for free. 

Pixlr Editor, Fotor, Polyvore and PicMonkey are a few of the online photo editors you can use.

 

You may need to label images or place texts on them for illustrations or to claim ownership of photos taken by you.

This might become difficult without a good knowledge of these image editing tools.

 

 

GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE INTERNET

 

 

LOL! Itunu!? How else would I have started blogging without this, You might say? but it is deeper than most people think.

Blogging is HARD WORK!

It requires a lot of online researches and if you do not have a good knowledge of the internet you may find it very difficult digging up important information on any subject matter.

You must also enjoy been 'ONLINE'

 

The blogosphere is a very big place to meet and build a relationship with not just your audience but  other bloggers. You can also learn a lot from them.

 

 

WORD PROCESSING

 

Blogging entails writing, formatting, numbering and so on. As a blogger you are required to know how to use Word Processing software like Microsoft Word or Note pad.

Sometimes you can put dow3n your thoughts on MS word, edit it before transferring to your blog template.

Another point under this is GOOD TYPING SKILLS-

Well except you plan on copying and pasting someone else's content to your blog, you have to type your thoughts and ideas!

 

 

BLOG/TIME MANAGEMENT

 

To succeed as a blogger, you need to have a good blog management skill.

 You should be able to manage your blogging needs such as editing your articles online, publishing contents, scheduling posts, editing your theme without breaking your blog, Social media integration and any other type of blog modification.

You need to be able to manage your blog by yourself and to do this you need to posses some basic computer skills like HTML.

This involves time as well and you must learn to manage the two so that you do not spend all the time on the internet all in the bid to improve your blog.

 

 

 

2nd Peter 3:9

"The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance"
