New to SITS? Welcome!! Go read this to get started.
If you’ve ever stopped by her site, then I think you’ll probably agree that today’s featured blogger is someone who should be in most blogrolls.ย Jill from Scary Mommy writes posts that always leave us wanting more.ย Funny, sarcastic to the core, and a mom to quite possibly some of the cutest kids on the planet, I rarely miss one of her posts.ย It’s these things that make her an amazing blogger and my friend.
Back when I first started blogging, I had very little idea what I was doing; let alone how to drive traffic to our site.ย Iโd labor over a post, hit publish, and then continually refresh my page, wondering why on earth people werenโt flocking to our blog.ย What was wrong with the world?ย If they would only read what I had written, they would see how funny/witty/creative/original I was and never want to leave.
But blogland is somewhat of a crazy place.ย The phrase, โIf you build it, they will comeโ doesnโt always apply.ย Something along the lines of โIf you build it, Tweet it, Facebook it, BlogFrog it, comment, comment, and then comment some more, they may comeโ is probably more accurate.
If someone were to ask me for one piece of blogging advice, my answer would be simple: Find bloggers who can help you become something better and follow them.ย Alone, you can only do so much.ย However, by reading websites that provide you with the how to’s and inside tips on all things social media, you can make the leap from a good to great blogger.
Jill helps others do just this.ย In addition to her Scary Mommy Society where she features guest bloggers, she also goes the extra mile and shares all that she has learned…
Twitter Etiquette: A Guide to Getting Unfollowed – If you fall into the Lazy Bones, Annoying Famous People or The Sketch Balls categories, chances are that Jill won’t be following you.ย And others probably won’t be either.
Is Your Blog Making People Sick? – You may not know it, but your blog could be detrimental to the health of your readers.ย Are they complaining of vision problems, dizziness or headaches?ย Jill reveals that your blog could be the cause.
The other reason Jill is a permanent fixture in my blogroll is for her unending supply of ideas and answers.ย Whether youโre looking for tips on how to build a Facebook Fan Page, make your blog into a book, or survive BlogHer, sheโs there to act as your guide.
And she does this not only on her blog, but also in her job as the community manager for Nickelodeonโs Parents Connect website.
For the month of July, Jill is even leading an event dedicated to blogging.ย Each day, she features a new blogger who shares tips on how to improve your blog.ย Itโs a great forum to showcase your site, make new connections, and learn about everything from blog templates to how to create your own community.
Jill’s my one stop shop!ย And she could probably beย yours too.

I was more than happy to seek out this net-site.I needed to thanks for your time for this glorious read!! I positively having fun with every little little bit of it and I have you bookmarked to take a look at new stuff you weblog post.
Scary Mommy is a great site! thanks for highlighting such a great blog.
Sometimes you hit the lotto.. I DID to be sure.. not only have I MUCH benefited from Jill’s advice and humor I’m HONORED to count her among my IRL pals. I tell ya gang that there are some BIG bloggers out there that could care LESS who you are or what you’d like to do with your blog. Jill is NOT one of them. No matter what you want to learn or what you think about something Jill is ALWAYS open to hear, talk and advise. TAKE ADVANTAGE SITStahs for some day I suspect at Jill along with our SITS Girls will RULE!~
Love this blog. Putting her on my blog roll!
Thank you! It’s like you read my mind! This whole “blog” thing is blowing my mind but, I’m glad there are blogs like this out there to help little “newbies” like myself =)
If you were scared by her, come visit my cute cartoon animals at http://www.mumsafari.com. This is my parenting and kids crafts blog! enjoy!
I feel like I’ve been needing some bloggy help lately. I’ll have to check out Jill’s site. Thanks a lot!
She sounds a lot like me! When I have a question about punishing my kids or where to send them for after-school, I always ask “What do normal parents do?” as if I’m the only one who ever had that question. Jill is an awesome writer, and I’ll be stopping back again.
Thanks for sharing this bloggers site! Great information for newbies like me, great information for all bloggers!
I think I was a scary MOM!
Jill is absolutely on my blogroll!
I knew her way back before she even started blogging.
Love you Jill!
She has some fantastic articles!
I’ve been a member of the Scary Mommy Society for a little while now. Her blogs are the real deal. Good stuff! I’m still laughing about her dramatic run-in with a nest full of baby birds. Traumatic for all involved, hilarious to any mom who’s innocently tried to share the wonder of nature with her children and had it turn into an episode of chaos. No good deed goes unpunished, ladies. No good deed…
She cracks me up! Love her posts. Happy Monday everyone ๐
I just started a new blog! It’s all about my adventures in trying to find the love of my life via the wonders of online dating.
Happy Monday!
What a lot of great information. Thanks so much for sharing this one!
Phew! I made it before midnight. Heading over to Scary Mommy now.
I really like Scary Mommy’s blog! Thanks SITS for pointing me in her direction!
Great FB today. Happy Monday.
Okay, 9:30pm still counts. It’s gotta still count.
Oh my God, it’s still only Monday.
love and faceplanting from Chicago,
