In reply to Tanj from A Travelogue. Thanks for stopping by & for the compliments. Yes, having a good quality blog takes time and a lot of work! There are things that just time and practice can teach so keep it up. You already have some gorgeous imagery and great content on your blog, so the sky is the limit!

In reply to samiyahl. Thanks! Yes, self-hosted is always challenging but I am so grateful for Deepak and all the work he put into my blog. I debated whether to do it myself but instead choose to focus on my content and let the tech part be done by pros!

In reply to RobRob. Thanks for stopping by! I agree about consistency. Another early blogging mistake. No consistency in my content. Again, everything evolves with time. BTW great blog!

Oh and I love how your blog looks – clean and minamlistic. I am also trying to achieve that look the best way but also show content.

As you know, I just started. I missed 10 years of content (travels before getting married), now my focus is on our travels together (I have backdated all our past travels in the last 6 years! so freaking hard to put content of past travels). Its really hard having a blog, people don’t really know the handwork that comes to it. This is such a helpful post, I continue to learn how to do this right… it really is a learning process. I hope I will get there someday.

In reply to samiyahl. I felt the same way for a long time! Thankfully I found Deepak and he was great at doing the migration for me! Thanks for stopping by!

Some great tips here! I am on the brink of moving to self hosted (anyday now) but just don’t have the courage (and time) to go through with it as am technologically handicapped, but I know it’s the right move for our travelling blog..thanks for sharing this very useful post 🙂

In reply to RobRob. Totally agree. I think focus is important. They are all sorts of crazy things I would love to write about, but I feel that the growth of my blog began when it became more focus and started to treat The Dining Traveler as a brand. Thanks for sharing!

In reply to Renuka. I know! I literally thought about it for 3 years. I even tried Squarespace with no luck. The best investment I made was hiring someone to do it! Thanks for stopping by!

Yes, sooner or later I have to move my blog to wordpress. The process sounds so complicated that I tend to just chicken out and not do it at all. But thanks for this informative post!
