How to relaunch a blog

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have been unable to write for my blog for a few weeks now as I have had a lot of family matters to deal with. I’d like to relaunch the blog possibly with a new look and some alterations to the content, though still on the books theme. Do you have any advice on this?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    For the moment, you should just start blogging again—your followers will no doubt understand a few weeks’ absence.

    But, you can easily change your theme, change colors, use different widgets, and so on.

    Advice especially for a long established site is to start a second private test blog. Export your current blog to it and with the import you will be able to experiment with the various features and functions of new and different themes. Your readers won’t see how many times you change your mind as you experiment, the test blog being private and all. When you get to a place where you are happy with the test blog you will be able to quickly alter the real live public blog.

    Many thanks to 1tess for the advice and tips – I’ll just continue where I left off and try a test blog to experiment. Meanwhile, advice from anyone else would also be welcome.
