Hey Alex, thanks for the link! I subscribed to your RSS feed a couple weeks back, and I’ve really enjoyed your work. You give some great tips that I’ve tried to incorporate in some of my work. Keep up the good work!
Hi, I’m Brandon.
I don’t really remember how I found the site, but I enjoy your Blogging Tips and subscribed a few weeks ago.
I’ve just recently started blogging (I’m one of the voters for the “0 – 3 months” option in your latest poll) and I’m trying to absorb as much tips and information as I can to help improve my blog.
– Oh, and what do you use for your article view counts? I may want something like that.
@Eric: The link, don’t mention it. My pleasure. Thanks for your words!
@Brandon: Thanks for the subscription and I’m glad you find Blogsessive useful. Looking forward to hear news on how your blog is growing.
The plugin for the views is WP-PostViews by Lester ‘GaMerZ’ Chan. You can read more and download it here:

You’re fellow friend from Digg.com
Hello Xhezarian! Nice to virtually meet you.
Although I encourage people to subscribe to my RSS, I leave them to decide when the time comes. As you can see, I not running those plugins that detect if you’re new to the blog or not and push to you subscribing. I’m glad you enjoy this blog.
PS: You don’t have to be new to gather everything about blogging. We have a lifetime of learning ahead of us.
Alex, thanks for the kind words.
I’ve always assumed you are a kind person, through blogsessive you prove it all.
Bytheway I want to contact you in private (yet virtually) thus I left my email address, if you wouldn’t mind adding me or something I’d be more than grateful. Have something I need to talk to you about.
Cheers and thanks.
Actually just added subscribed after reading a few of your posts. I just noticed that you aren’t using full feeds and would like to hear what you think of full feeds vs. excerpt feeds. Maybe a nice idea for post
btw: I’m a graphic designer from Denmark who just started blogging seriously and I found your site through a top 20 vector characters
Thomas, the full vs. excerpts has been discussed plenty of times on many blogs, but coincidently, next week I’m going to post a poll about this and will also share my views on the subject.
And, since you’re a graphic designer from a EU country, did you check my other project: http://www.creativeurope.eu/ ? Maybe even add your portfolio link?
I actually just bookmarked that one. Looks like a great place to get listed.
So you wanna know more about your readers (me) huh? Ok, this is Joel form India. I love making friends. Also I just love blogging and blogging
Nothing else. I like it because its fun. Its coz, you can meet new people and make new friends out there. Which is another reason for why I love blogging… 
Ok, I am excited now, before I could start writing 300+ words about me here, its better I stop…
Nice to see you…
Happy Blogging
If I want to modify the default font size and style, how to modify？
Thank you。
My theme is Simple Balance 2.1。
hypfx,
Changing fonts in Simple Balance, as mostly with any other theme, is done by editing the “style.css” file in the theme’s folder.
If you scroll throught the file in your editor you’ll see fonts defined using code statements similar to this one:
font: normal normal 12px Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;
This is how fonts can be defined or changed.
Basically the above statement says:
- The font should be normal in style ( not italic )
- The font should be normal in weight ( not bold )
- The font should pe 12px in size
- The first font option is Tahoma, followed by Arial if Tahoma does not exist, Verdana next, or any other sans-serif font if the previous three are not installed on the user’s machine.
hi, alex! my name is joy isaguirre and i’m from manila, philippines. i was browsing through blogs and found a link to your blog. interesting name, blogsessive! i’m glad i clicked that link and browsed through your site. i enjoyed reading your posts, thanks for sharing your passion on blogging. i learned a lot! God bless and more power.
Hi, I am Aarthi Raghavan and I have been into web designing and content writing for say a mere eight months now. But as you were talking about your experiences in the about page I was too equally amazed when I first came to know about wordpress and its immense capacities for bloggers and content developers like me. I came across your website when I was searching for a good looking, simple and very professional theme for my self-hosted wordpress site. And I must say that your website, your blogging tips and a lot of other things that you have included here continues to inspire me. As compared to you I am just a toddler in the sphere of the internet. None years of experience is great…that means you probably began when you were just 19 right. I began at the same time almost…i.e. when I was 19. The Internet is a good place because of helpful and resourceful folks like you. And as I can see experience really speaks, you are the best example for that. A great job, Alex, really! Thanks and keep up the good work.
Hey Arti, thanks for your wonderful comment and also for the email. I’m glad that what I’ve put here on Blogsessive, along the time, including the Simple Balance theme helped you be a better blogger! Best wishes, Alex
