Why hello there, won’t you come in? Grab a glass of wine, some finger-food of choice, and prepare for this week’s entertainment!
It’s Epheriell Designs’ 3rd Blogaversary! Yes indeedy – it was three years ago that I first started writing this little blog, sending my thoughts, work, and loves out into the ether. I can’t believe it’s been only 3 years, to be honest – it feels like this blog has been a part of me forever!
I’ve decided to celebrate Epheriell Designs’ 3rd birthday this week with a whole lotta wonderful – including guest posts from a range of fantastic fellow bloggers whom I’m lucky enough to call friend.
As well as that, I want to help you on your own blogging journey! In the video I give you the opportunity to ask me any blogging-related questions you may have. They can be technical (how do I do this on my blog?), related to marketing, growing readership… anything you can think of, really!
If you’ve got other crafty-biz related questions that aren’t about blogging, make sure to head over to this post and leave them there.
Most important of all – I want to say…
Without you, Epheriell Designs would be a very boring place. I adore every comment, every visit, every tweet and share and pin of my blog posts. I adore every one of my readers, because you are some pretty amazing people.
Thank you for being here.

Happy 3rd Bloggy Birthday Jess!
Congratulations Jess, my blog is not yet six months old and I love it already and finding people like you who truly inspire me is such a bonus. Xx
At what point (if any) did it stop feeling like u were just talking to yourself?everytime someone mentions they read something on my blog i feel very strange because when I write posts I sort of assume no one will read it!
Happy 3rd blog birthday Jess!
Happy Blogiversary! I can’t wait to see what everyone has come up with!
Hi Jess! Happy 3rd Blogaversary! You must be so proud!
I have a bloggy question that’s I’ve been mulling for some time now:
I’m new. Completely new. I haven’t even narrowed down what any niche of my upcoming blog will be, and I’m stuck even on my first “Welcome/About Me” post (I think because I’m scared)!
I don’t have a business, per se, but I am writerly, ponderly, and a “Jane of all Trades,” so to speak. I’ve gotten as far as defining categories for my blog (areas of interest/focus), and my goal is not only to somewhat self-brand, but maybe, even more, to have my blog be a reflection of my real-life exploration of things me-esque, ultimately being a bit of a tool with which to narrow my focus or identify a commonality string that ties my areas of interest and skill together. I am of the opinion that this is possible, as I have come across many blogs & sites that do this successfully to one degree or another (including yours!), and I’m asking this of you because I see your site/online presence as being very successful!
I assume (hope!) I’ll get readers and followers over time, but I’m gathering that there has to be something that attracts people and encourages them to be interested and return. While I will be aiming for a certain degree of transparency in my writings/thoughts/posts/recommendations, I further assume that a “journal” or self-reflective approach will not be the thing to accomplish this, so I want to avoid that. Any tips on how to start??
Befuddled and Nervous. Sorry so long. :s
