This morning, I am excited to unveil two new blogs and announce several forthcoming upgrades and improvements coming to Contest Corner!
New sites:
Beeb-Log is my brand lifestyle blog, featuring reviews, photography, recipes, personal posts, and much more.
Cooking Catastrophe is a fun new blog that looks at the funny side of homemaking, from Pinterest fails to food photography woes, along with realistic recipes and tips.
Part of the reason I started these new blogs was to improve Contest Corner. Because Contest Corner covers so much content at the moment, I feel like it’s limited in how well it can serve its readers – people who visit for recipes get lost in all the contest listings, and people who come for the giveaways are a little puzzled by the Wordless Wednesday photography posts. Going forward, Beeb-Log will be home to all my personal posts, reviews, and photos, so that Contest Corner can be further refined to do what it does best: Contests! Of course, we’ll still be sharing our own fabulous reader giveaways with you. We have also invested in new software to run the backend of our giveaway submission form – it has grown in popularity so much that it’s impossible to keep up with all the submissions, so this upgrade will enable us to streamline the process, keep up with the volume of submissions and publish way more contest listings than ever before.
You’ll still see some reviews and other content published here through the end of the month, while we work on finalizing the new giveaway form and streamlining the site theme. We’ll still post reviews and updates on here from time to time, so it won’t become a completely impersonal contest site, but doing the majority of personal posts on Beeb-Log will allow us to improve this site and serve our wonderful sweepers better!
Please tell me what you think about these forthcoming upgrades to Contest Corner, and the new sites! I take reader feedback very seriously, so let me know how I can make this site the best it can be for you!
I’m excited for you about your new sites!
Looking forward to seeing all the changes & catching up on your new sites. They look great!
YOur new sites sound awesome and I really like the concept behind Cooking Catastrophe and I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
