A Relationship. It’s a funny old thing, isn’t it?

Having best friends is really the biggest blessing in life. Even if those friends don’t stay for a long time, or if they’re in your life for a lifetime.

But now I am more of an experienced blogger, I understand the need to have that support system.
I realise that there might be new bloggers or supporters out there who maybe don’t know how or what to do, to best support bloggers. So I thought it would be a nice idea to give some guidance on what to do and what not to do.
