		<description><![CDATA[We asked Jennifer Burby who is an attorney, wife, and mother, as well as a blogger at Champagne Supernova, to share her honest thoughts and stories about blogging for the WIRL Blogging Challenge. We&#8217;ve listed our Q/A session below for you to enjoy!  &#160; WIRL Project: How much time do you spend on your blog each week? Jennifer: The short answer is that I probably spend 15-20 hours a week doing something either directly or indirectly impacting my blog. The long answer is that having a blog isn&#8217;t just about writing a post and publishing it. It&#8217;s also about growing a readership, self-promotion, and connecting with your audience and other bloggers. I read somewhere that there are 153 million blogs on the internet. Readers are overwhelmed with the variety, and, in order to read my blog, people have to discover it and I have to offer something that they can&#8217;t get from other blogs. When I&#8217;m not writing and publishing my own post, I&#8217;m busy engaging in online &#8220;linky&#8221; parties, pinning on pinterest, locating and uploading news articles to my blog&#8217;s Facebook fan page, editing and adding photos to my blog&#8217;s Instagram account, and then reading other bloggers&#8217; posts and commenting on them. It&#8217;s exhausting, but necessary. I read somewhere that there are 153 million blogs on the internet. Readers are overwhelmed with the variety, and, in order to read my blog, people have to discover it and I have to offer something that they can&#8217;t get from other blogs. WIRL Project: What do you wish people who don&#8217;t blog knew about blogging? Jennifer: This is difficult. In addition to the amount of work that goes into blogging, which I detailed in my answer to the question above, I wish people who don&#8217;t blog realized that not all bloggers are self-obsessed narcissists. I think some, but not all, non-bloggers stereotype bloggers this way. In reality, bloggers just want a way to fuel their passions by highlighting their talents; whether it&#8217;s writing, making crafts and DIY projects, cooking and baking, or taking photographs. WIRL Project: Do you ever feel frustrated about blogging? Jennifer: Because I just launched my blog in January of 2015 and it&#8217;s relatively new, the answer is generally &#8220;no.&#8221; However, as I&#8217;m not tech savvy, I can sometimes get frustrated with uploading information on the blog or updating the blog site itself. I also sometimes feel frustrated by time constraints to publish a blog or events that are out of my control that preclude me from writing. For instance, sometimes I want to sit down and write a post, but then my three-year-old wants me to watch a movie with her instead. She will take precedent every time! WIRL Project: What are insider secrets you could share? Jennifer: When blogging, focus on the quality of your post, rather than the number of times you are posting. In other words, &#8220;quality over quantity.&#8221; When I first started blogging, I had an unreasonable goal of posting five times a week. Not gonna happen. As blogging isn&#8217;t my full time job and I am balancing it with a career and a family, it takes a couple days of research and being alone with my thoughts to create a quality post. Regardless of the number of times someone is posting, they aren&#8217;t going to obtain a regular readership if they aren&#8217;t posting quality material that people want to read. WIRL Project: What makes you feel like your blog is &#8220;successful&#8221;? Jennifer: Positive feedback. Even though I started my blog five months ago, I&#8217;ve already started receiving positive feedback from readers world wide who have taken the time to tell me about how they enjoy my posts. A couple months ago, a lady reached out to me concerning a post about the baby blues and motherhood. She thanked me for sharing my story because she went through the same thing and felt like a bad mother. While I would eventually like to significantly monetize my blog, receiving positive feedback has been a huge motivator. WIRL Project: What&#8217;s been your biggest blogging blooper of fail? Not finding typos until after the post has gone live. These are usually stupid mistakes or finger-slips like &#8220;want&#8221; instead of &#8220;what&#8221; or &#8220;form&#8221; instead of &#8220;from.&#8221; I fix them as soon as I see them, or as soon as someone tells me about them, and usually hope not too many people noticed them. &#160; Join the conversation! Easily contribute your story here with the tag “WIRL Blogging”. &#160; About the Author… This WIRL was contributed in part by Jennifer Burby at Champagne Supernova. She is an attorney, wife, mama, snot wiper-upper, choking preventer, baby booty-wiper, and Grand Poobah of her blog, The Champagne Supernova. When she&#8217;s not blogging, Jennifer enjoys traveling, pretending she&#8217;s a professional photographer, running, and laughing. She can be found at her website, WIRL Project, and Facebook.]]></description>
