#6 Tips on How NOT to make money or get a gazillion views in your first month of blogging
How NOT to make money or get a gazillion views in your first month of blogging – or even your first six years!! Why? Why are so many bloggers’ lives so skewed towards making money quickly or getting a gazillion views/followers in a short amount of time? I am getting quite tired of seeing all these types of posts. Pinterest is…

How I made friends with Pinterest
Since retiring in January 2017, I have had lots more time to spend on blogging, social media and learning new skills. I know that as you age you are supposed to keep your brain busy, so I treated my blogging/social media as if I was learning a new language. I was in fact learning a new language!! This is me…
A family of bloggers
I just want you to know that I enjoy blogging immensely. I might not be the most prolific of bloggers, the most read, tweeted or visited blogger in the world, but I am a happy blogger! As someone wise said to me earlier this week, ‘The thing to remember about blogging is that there is no right or wrong way…
Blog of the Day: Deb’s World
Originally posted on Suzie Speaks:
Meet Debbie, the creator of Deb’s World. As a lifestyle blogger, she has one of the most interesting ‘About Me’ pages that I’ve ever seen. Here’s just a small selection… I am Debbie – I am a wife; mother; daughter; sister; friend; blogger; reader; runner; walker; cyclist; Rail Trail enthusiast; traveller; Rotarian; Whovian; teacher. And…
What’s in a name? – Weekly Photo Challenge
Let me introduce myself – my name is Debbie or more formally Deborah. Hello, I’m pleased to meet you 🙂 My daughters and other friends have called me Debs for quite some time now, so when I started blogging it seemed like a good idea to call my blog Deb’s World. I received this personalised jar of Vegemite (an Australian delicacy)…

Here on the Reader Spot, I share the bookish love of our avid book reviewers. From young adult to historical romance, chick-lit to a murder mystery, they know what they like, and they’re happy to share. Whether you are a reader looking for a new book, or a writer wondering what your reader…
Meeting a blogging friend for real!
I have followed Desleyjanes’s blog , Musings of a frequently flying scientist, for ages – I’ve admired her beautiful photos, her creativity, I’ve loved her stories, enjoyed her posts about Gidget her dog, felt her initial pain when she moved from her family in Brisbane to Melbourne, smiled to myself when she started feeling settled in her new city, joined in…
Education beats crime every day
I know I’ve mentioned it before on my blog (Not a good week, Wednesday 11/5/16, and this BuzzFeed interview) but I thought I’d share my latest foray into speaking out about this very important issue. I was interviewed by a local TV station during the week and I don’t know about you but I really don’t like watching or hearing myself. Despite my insecurities I’m quite…
Not a good week!
It seems I’m more political than I thought! I’m also very angry! I’ve rarely shared information about my work on my blog but this week I have well and truly broken that self imposed ban. And for a very good reason. This week we were informed that our jobs, as educators within correctional centres across the state, would be gone…
Blogging thoughts
Apparently I registered my Deb’s World blog 4 years ago – who would have thought I’d still be here?! I have no reason to doubt the scrupulous record keeping of WordPress but gee whiz that time has really flown by! I do remember writing some early posts and deleting them a short time later so my first recorded post is…
Tumba-bloody-Rumba
Warning: this post is about the closest I’ll ever get to writing something political. Paint the town orange someone said – so we did. Orange streamers, ribbons and signs adorn every signpost and fence – orange being the colour of harmony. Get a celebrity on board to help get the message out there someone suggested – so we did. Watch this comedian put…
