At the dawn of 2013 I had a list of New Year’s resolutions for blog my Tiger Tales. On my resolution list were: redesigning the blog, becoming more social media savvy, building content outside of the parent blog sphere, just to mention a few. It’s been a challenging sticking to my resolutions but I’ve not done too badly. It’s in that vein, I decided to attitude the Next Blogger Network Workshop. It was my aim to find about the new and fantastic things happening in the blogging world outside of parent blogging, along with new technology available to improve how I work. It as also important to me to see the benchmark to know what was next for Tiger Tales. I’m so pleased that I attended the workshop. I’m sure each blogger would have taken away from each session what he/she needed. Personally, I was given a fresh perspective on blogging and some insight into how to proceed with Tiger Tales. At the Next Blogger Workshop there were three sessions on: SEO and Web Design, Brand and Advertising and Photography and Film.
