My older sister gave it to me to read when I was little. I loved the story and the wonderful maps inside the cover. Many years later, I bought my own copy and read the book again as an adult. It was then I realized this book isn't just for children. It's full of lessons us grownups would do well to remember, too.Beth Stubbsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149111989145197760.post-83710804210361108742012-05-25T11:29:36.576-07:002012-05-25T11:29:36.576-07:00I loved making wishes on dandelions when I was a l...I loved making wishes on dandelions when I was a little girl.<br /><br />When I was in college one of my professors offered extra credit in a video assignment if we included a dandelion.

Having the "about"...This is good advice!<br /><br />Having the "about" page is definitely helpful, whether it's about the writer or about the blog or... well... about anything. I get frustrated when I visit a blog and there isn't something like "about" for me to click on! But maybe that's just me. :)<br /><br />Also, thanks for mentioning about citing where things come from. I'm a big intellectual property advocate, and don't like to see photos that haven't been credited. Some bloggers (myself included) also add their own copyright page to emphasize that the blog content belongs to someone. It's amazing how few people think that blog content or just content generally on the Internet falls under the same rules as a work published in print.<br /><br />In addition to this, my advice would be to be patient. As you work on promoting a blog, don't get discouraged when it seems like days go by without significant readership. It can get frustrating! I felt like nobody other than my parents read my blog for many, many months. Then, once I had a significant readership, I was discouraged that people wouldn't comment. Or wouldn't write guest posts in a timely fashion. Or "like" my blog on Facebook. Or whatever! There was always something to be annoyed about! And that's just a silly way to approach any endeavor.<br /><br />Thanks again for letting me know about your blog!<br /><br />-Elizabethelizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14336593806684144656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149111989145197760.post-16849961886334539102012-04-11T12:31:19.093-07:002012-04-11T12:31:19.093-07:00Thank you for checking out Desert Villa!Thank you for checking out Desert Villa!Heather Villahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17736839391232105863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149111989145197760.post-35912480995706192432012-03-30T16:02:01.887-07:002012-03-30T16:02:01.887-07:00Wow...what a powerful and inspiring quote from Hel...Wow...what a powerful and inspiring quote from Helen Keller, "One person, with encouragment, can make an impack".
