I Wish I Knew How To...

I've learned a few things in my time but there is A LOT of things I've been dying to learn how to do. Here's a few of them:

Digital Scrapbooking

I really want to be that girl who scrapbooks. I have a closet full of supplies that have never seen the light of day. And don't even ask about the photo prints I have stashed in boxes upon boxes.

I'd never heard about digital scrapbooking until I started blogging. I know about uploading digital photos and making photo books on Shutterfly but I don't think this is quite the same and I can't figure out 1) where to start, 2) what to do with it after you make it on your computer.

I've seen some rad sites with a bunch of freebie stuff, but I'm still lost.

Blog Buttons

I adore reading so many blogs! I could fill my entire blog with buttons from the other blogs I read. This is the purpose of a button, right? For advertising?


Tiny Oranges - I read it everyday!

Regardless of it's point, I'd really love one for my blog but I have no idea how to make one!

Wordpress v. Blogger

I keep reading that Wordpress is a better host but I've seen so many fantastic blog designs on Blogger. So, what's the difference? I don't know how to design a blog from scratch...do I need professional help for that before switching over? And tell me again why I should switch?

Twitter

Yes, I've been tweeting like nuts. Well, not really. I just like to read what everyone else is up to. It's super fun! I'm becoming a little obsessed like I was with Facebook when I first started that.

The problem...I'm still not getting how to respond to tweets I read. I thought I was doing it successfully but I'm not so sure. Chrissy, help!

Random Parenting Stuff

- Successfully disciplining a two-year-old (I oppose spanking and I don't want to yell and scream, there's gotta be something that works, right?)
- Potty training (the girl absolutely refuses)
- Breaking the bottle (she still takes one in the morning when she gets up)

So now I call out to you, Blog-Goddesses...please impart your wisdom on me!
