• Select 10 – 15 other bloggers you want to give this award to

 The Thanks

Many thanks go out to Kathy Knull for nominating us. You’ll find her at Saddles to Shorelines and Life as it Comes where she writes about horses, cottage life, family, friendships, writing, and reading. Visit her site to learn more about Kathy.

Brief Story

The Traveling Todds blends our love of roaming the highways and byways, with my love of writing and photography. The need to keep our family and friends informed of our adventures is the reason we started the blog. In the process, I hope the posts entice readers to visit the wonderful places we have enjoyed along the way. Stay tuned for our next adventure due to start in the next couple weeks.

New Blogger Advice

I’m hardly an expert on blogging, but here are a few things I keep in mind:

1. Pick a focus, theme, or one of your passions to write about.
2. Produce original content.

3. Participate in the community by reading and commenting on other blogs that are similar to yours or that you would like to emulate.
