my blog is leaving me frustrated


So i decided to try and blog last week as i hadn't blogged for a while only to be overrun with spam again. Even on my 'i hate spam' post, urgh i can't stand these people!
So i decided to just delete them all and blog anyway only to ramble on for ages and when i publish the post i got an error message and everything was lost. So in a fit of frustration i turned the computer off.
I'm not sure how long i am going to continue with my blog to be honest as i just don't have the time and it doesn't seem to be getting me any business.
I have however just opened a ebay shop, not sure if it was the right decision or not yet but we will see.
Pictured is a bracelet i made for a custom order before christmas, cute isn't it? i love the colours :)

  1. This 'blogging' can be frustrating - I logged on the other day to find all the blogs I follow were gone....!! I logged off & back on & there they were - ?????
    PS: going to 'like' you on facebook - love you work...!!

  2. if you decide to carry on with your blog you can have it so that you get to read any comments before they are published, which means you dont have to publish them if they are spam. not sure how to do it, but I'm sure someone can tell you.

  3. thank you both :).
    I do that Joy as i was getting them commenting on old posts with loads of links so i changed the settings. It's just a pain to log in and see people have commented and then find there all spam :(.

  4. I always get it on a hen do post, and I dutifully trash it every time, just that one is a bit annoying, so you must feel so frustrated. Blogger is a bit odd, I am following a blog that I desperately want to unfollow, I thought it was interesting, but turns out it is just some women rambling on about products she is being paid to talk about, but no matter how many times I click unfollow, it just won't go away!

    I think you should try for a little bit longer, and if it carries on maybe move to another blog? Like wordpress etc? I would be interested to hear how your ebay shop goes :)
