- Get rid of something. Anything. You definitely have more than you need in some part of your blog! I got rid of the labels widget on the sidebar and the home button on the navigation bar. Both of the functions that these elements serve can already be done without them. Less is more.
- Make it uniform. That goes for fonts, colors, and overall style. A cohesive look is much more pleasing and professional. I had different social media buttons and the font and color on my 'about me' snippet did not go with my design. Fix that now! It may take some extra work but it is worth it.
- Pick two fonts and two colors. Or three fonts and three colors if you're really bold. The idea once again is that keeping it simple is key.
- Figure out how to do something you've always wanted to do. I've wanted to have a rounded image for my 'about me' and I finally learned how to do it! Take some time and get to researching and trying it out.
What do you do to update your blog? Will you try any of my housekeeping ideas?

Thank you Erica! I just went over to your blog and love how colorful it is! Something I would suggest is minimizing your sidebar a bit. For example, it's great that you're a part of many networks so perhaps instead of displaying them all in your sidebar you can include them on your about page. On the homepage I'm always a fan of less is more :)
