I've made a lot of little changes to the Geek Mamas blog the past month, from little things like adding a blue background, to big things like a total SEO overhaul. For the most part, probably nobody has even noticed the little tweaks. It's something I like to keep track of so I know how … Continue reading Changes to the Geek Mamas Blog in 2020

I Got a Crash Course in Nofollow, Noopener and Noreferrer

I'm no expert- I really just recently learned how they all work, and only because a recent WordPress update forced me to pay … Continue reading I Got a Crash Course in Nofollow, Noopener and Noreferrer
Going On Christmas Break, Goodbye 2019
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I think this will be my last post for 2019, unless I feel like I absolutely have to write something. I don't want any deadlines or work stuff looming over my head for the holidays. It's time to get offline and enjoy the moment.

Blogging and Social: Choosing Quality Over Quantity
I haven't been blogging and posting as much as lately. I've just been busy with life and not feeling the urge to share every detail. Unfortunately it seems in the world of social media, overshare is the norm and an expected part of being an "influencer" even if I am reluctant to call myself that. … Continue reading Blogging and Social: Choosing Quality Over Quantity
Writing Rejection – How It Can Be a Positive Thing
Writers always talk about their rejections, so this is nothing new. You always read about famous authors collecting stacks of rejection letters and postcards, maybe even hanging them on the wall for inspiration. But as someone who only recently starting sending out queries and submitting articles, it is new for me. And in these days you … Continue reading Writing Rejection – How It Can Be a Positive Thing
Dear Bloggers, Stop it with the GIFs

Ugh… I Turned Blogging Into a Job
That's my frame of mind at the moment. I swing wildly from "OMG, I turned blogging into a job!" to "Ugh...this thing that was fun is now WORK," depending on the task at hand. My most current task was accumulating screenshots of promoted post receipts and reporting all the metrics after the campaign was done. … Continue reading Ugh… I Turned Blogging Into a Job
What Kind of Blog Do You Have?
One things I had the most trouble with when I started blogging was answering the question "What is your blog about?" My usual answer - a mumbled "mom stuff" or "a little of everything" never sounded quite right. Then a little self-doubt would sink in and I'd start to wonder "what the heck IS my … Continue reading What Kind of Blog Do You Have?
Happy to be a WordPress Mom Blog
A blog question everybody always asks is "What platform do you use?" You can do WordPress, Blogger, self-host...I'm sure there's more but I haven't looked too far into it. I've been using WordPress for over 10 years now! Recently I was researching where some of my blog traffic was coming from, and I ran across … Continue reading Happy to be a WordPress Mom Blog
