Blogging more works (but maybe that&amp;#39;ll wait until AFTER the wedding, ha).  Maybe giving more updates on how your own writing is going or helpful comments from your writing group would generate easy content.  Photos/illustrations also help (even the cover of the book you&amp;#39;re reviewing).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a visual person, modifying your template or at least having a custom header (as Katie suggested) would make your site tailored.  If you want help with designing...let me know!  (Could be my wedding present to you ;)  )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, happy rest of planning!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8503889855562099029/4302464347632909063/comments/default/8019960254770873516'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8503889855562099029/4302464347632909063/comments/default/8019960254770873516'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.liviablackburne.com/2009/08/my-blog-featured-on-jordan-mccollums.html?showComment=1250266131795#c8019960254770873516' title=''/><author><name>mLe</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11676690493417734166</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13446313139831142319'/><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jz_qN6cQW0g/SkxASm0djeI/AAAAAAAADeI/90imTEvDStc/S220/rearview.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blog.liviablackburne.com/2009/08/my-blog-featured-on-jordan-mccollums.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8503889855562099029.post-4302464347632909063' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8503889855562099029/posts/default/4302464347632909063' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-655134553'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8503889855562099029.post-6749906851074380412</id><published>2009-08-14T03:00:09.914-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-14T03:00:09.914-04:00</updated><title type='text'>I stumbled upon here randomly (your blog interests...</title><content type='html'>I stumbled upon here randomly (your blog interests me, so I hope you don&amp;#39;t mind I&amp;#39;ve linked you to my own site so I can follow more easily) - thanks for linking to Nathan/ Jordan (I made some changes to my own blog to reflect advice given). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Improvement suggestion: blog more.
