This Is Where I am At

I wish I could say I enjoyed blogging. The truth is, I just am not that into it. On one side, I tolerate it because my theme is about my favorite topic, food. I really love sharing recipes and posting ideas that I think people would like to try on their own. I’ve come to accept if I want to be taken seriously in a baking-blog world, I need to put my hesitations aside and just go for it.

The reasons I dislike blogging are as followed. I really don’t like to sound preachy. I don’t like to write posts and make people think I am an expert, because I’m not! I am still learning what the heck I am doing and I am trying my best at it. I really hate dislike talking about myself, I think it’s really vain. But I understand that element of a blog makes the site more approachable. Thirdly, I am still educating myself. I don’t know how to successfully use this fancy camera I purchased, and I’m in the process of building a light tent. The moral of this story is I am still learning what to do.

So, I ask this simple tasks:

1. Give me feedback. Tell me what you like and don’t like about the site, the photos, etc. This site host is simply a hybrid of what I hope to launch as the future site. This site will not be the last of the Gilly’s page. This page is helping me develop necessary skills which will eventually transfer over to something more professional. Eventually, I would like to move the blog to an easier interface, aka WordPress. But while that is still receiving its face-lift, this is it! 
2. Two, if you have any recipes you want to try, send them. Send recipes, order some treats. 
3. And three stick with me. I love the support, I love hearing ways I can improve. Basically, I love feedback, just don’t be overtly rude.

So, this is where I am at with Gilly’s right now. This is a new chapter in the “Gilly does Blogging” experience and I hope you come on this journey with me!
