    Also, does anyone have any tips for which blog sites to use, layouts, linking other blogs, labels/tagging,.

    It's nice being able to follow other crafters, it also means you can take part in crafty challenges (which not only challenge you but normally have crafty prizes) and give always. It's nice also to have a record of what you made. Mines quite new but I'm using blogger as its very simple. I used their own template but with my own photo for the background http://blogfullofhope.blogspot.co.uk/

    Thanks-just had a quick mosey and it looks great. I've followed a couple of blogs I already like-is there a way of getting updates from these -like a news feed of when they post? Not all blogs seem to have a subscribe feature. Any tips for gadgets to add to monitor blogs that are being read/popular etc?
    Mine is http://jjjewelleryandcrafts.blogspot.co.uk only done two posts so far though :o)
