The Benefits of Blogging for Scrapbookers
Blogging has become a very popular way of communication within the past few years. People blog for various reasons, being that they have a particular topic they would like to discuss, such as politics, sports, music, hobbies or themselves.
Another benefit is communication with other family members or friends that live far away. Let’s face it, this is a fast-paced world we are living in, where time is of the essence. Instead of writing to each and every family member or several friends about what is happening in your life, you can simply suggest that they read your blog. It saves time and they can look at it whenever they want. There are blogs that have a password option, so not to worry.
One of these benefits is having a daily “log” of their lives documented online. They can use the information they post as a reference for future journaling on their scrapbooking pages.
Since there is a need for themes out there, some designers have begun to realize this and are developing cool scrapbooking themes for blogs. Most recently a special free scrapbooking theme was created for WordPress by SimplyWP. The theme contains scrapbooking elements in the header image and the background theme. There are also two sidebars and a second sidebar can be used to list all your friends or to add buttons or blinkies. This theme was created in subtle, soft colors to allow your layouts to be the main attraction of your blog.
The above mentioned scrapbooking theme can be previewed at http://www.scrapblogging.net/?theme=scrapbook and downloaded at http://www.photomix.com/news/free-scrapbooking-theme-for-wordpress/ absolutely free. It’s unbelievably easy to implement, so you’ll have no fuss with it at all. You can show all of your friends what a cool scrapbooking blog you have almost instantly.
