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.

Scary Mommy is seriously the funniest blogger I have ever read!
Happy Monday, everyone…
I’ve always loved Scary Mommy’s blog! Great to see her featured today.
Scary Mommy is one of the first people I found on Twitter, through other people retweeting her very funny stuff.
(Hi, all! I’m new here. What’s the “comment luv enabled” button do?)
I’m planning to work on developing my blog more this fall. Tools like this blog are what I’m looking for to teach me what I need to do. This summer’s mission is to find more sites like SITS and the featured blog that can help me reach my goals. Thanks for always sharing such useful advice.
Ah, Scary Mommy is so fab!
Hey, come on over to MommieDaze and check out the funny video I made over the weekend.
Those are GREAT blogging tips. I don’t Twitter but I have stopped visiting blogs that have harsh backgrounds that are hard on the eyes.
Happy Monday y’all!!!
Great FB today. Busy painting my daughter’s room today – (might have to write about this even though my blog is about food :-)). Anyhow – love the great ideas and wonderful sense of humor.

I love Jill! When I first started I had a friend that was blogging and I searched her blogroll and found people I liked and then that person’s and another person’s and finally landed on Scary Mommy. I’m so glad I did because she is awesome. And she is always so friendly and helpful when you have a question about something. She’s a great, down to earth, honest person. That’s why I like her.
Looking forward to checking out her blog!

Apologies for the issues you’re having with commenting, Lauren. Because of our spam protection, your comment is moving into a queue until it is manually approved. We’re working to get this resolved asap. As for why the CommentLuv is not working, I’m not sure. Are you clicking the button at the bottom of your comment? It looks like other commenter’s posts are loading in the comment section.
Let me know! We want to make our site as user friendly as possible. ๐
How can it be Monday again? Hope everyone has a great week!
