Meet My Friends Monday: Jo

I am back to participating in Monday Memes, and today I am doing Meet My Friends Monday. This meme is hosted by Toni over at It Is Nap Time.

This week I'd like to introduce you to one of my new bloggy friends, Jo. I met Jo via Harriet's blog. Jo entered and won the New Look for the New Year giveaway, so I recently redesigned her blog. It was a pleasure to redesign because Jo is an outstanding photographer. Stop by her blog and and check out her photography. Her posts are also great to read!

Why did you start blogging?
I started blogging so my family, all over the world, could keep up with us especially the ever growing Sadie!

In what way do you think blogging benefits you?
I have met a lot of new friends not to mention the creative outlet that it offers me!

Has your blog evolved since you started blogging?
My blog has totally evolved from a family read blog to something bigger than I ever imagined, thanks to social networking!

Is there anything more that you would like to get out of your blog than you do now?
I guess I just want to see how much I can grow my blog over the next year because I would like to use it to further promote my photography business.

What is your best blogging advice?
Keep writing everyday to keep your readers coming back for more and don't forget to network! Use Entrecard, Technorati, Facebook, Twitter and the many others out there! In addition, don't forget to surf the blogoshpere and leave comments because that will get traffic to your site! MOST OF ALL: HAVE FUN!

Great advice, Jo! Thanks for participating!
