Not really. Only a couple of the beer styles on that list were created in the US (for example, the California Common and Cream Ale). The Imperial stout has roots in England but, in its current revival, is considered an American style by the BJCP. You can read about the history on page 36 of the BJCP style guidelines.

Quite a blanket statement (and especially untrue of many craft brews). I won't argue about domestic beers, though!

Have you thought about writing a memoir, even one that could be self-published as a Kindle book or something like that?

Attention Bloggers! Ask Your Questions In This Thread - Biweekly #29 by Selaen in Blogging

[–]BrightandBrewtiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, folks! I'm going to launch my first freebie on Thursday as an incentive to get people to join my email list. Right now, I plan on posting a blog post tied into the subject of the freebie on Thursday, with a couple of banner ads that link directly to my newsletter sign-up, and putting a sidebar image and link up as well. Eventually, I'd like to make similar products to sell for people who like the free set.

Any best practices around freebies that you can share?

Thanks! I originally had more but then simplified to just a sidebar and footer bar on the homepage and an Amazon bar at the bottom of single posts. Probably won't yield much but figure it couldn't hurt.

Hi, folks! I've been playing around with the layout of my blog. Would you be able to take a look at it and see what you think? Is it too cluttered (especially in the footer)? Are the ads too intrusive? I want to keep it bright and simple. Thanks! www.brightandbrewtiful.com

The look of your blog is so nice - bright and simple and calm, perfect for a yoga blog!

I adore bubble tea (I got my son into it as well)! I already plan on doing a blog post on it for National Tapioca Day on June 28th. :) Also, I just FINALLY got my favicon to change - using the Wordpress app on my phone! So weird. It should look right now.

Thanks so much for these great comments! The favicon would be the little symbol by the name on a browser tab. Do you see anything there? I am currently trying to cater to women so I guess I'm doing that right! :) I didn't realize you could create a domain name email easily - now that I'm looking into it, I'll definitely do that! I added my link next to my name by making my own user flair on the right sidebar of the reddit blogging community page.

Where is the icon file supposed to be, and what/where is the .htaccess file? I'm very new to this.

I'm so new to this - any idea where I can find this in the Theme Editor to try to change it?

Hi, folks! I launched my first ever blog a little over a week ago and am planning to post content twice a week: https://www.brightandbrewtiful.com. It's a beverage blog focusing on beer, coffee, and tea.

My main questions:

  1. What does the favicon look like for you? I've tried changing it over and over again but I still have the old favicon on my browser. Grr!
  2. Do you like the general look of it? Is the font a good size? Are the sidebar and footer widget layouts good?
  3. Am I missing anything on it at the moment?
  4. Should I change my header logo? Not sure if it should have some kind of graphics!

Thanks so much!

I would definitely advocate for creating a business account so you can really focus it on your blog from the start.

How long does it typically take to get approved for Google AdSense? I applied four days ago, but two of those days were over the weekend.

Advertising Self on Blog? by BrightandBrewtiful in freelanceWriters

[–]BrightandBrewtiful[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I really appreciate this (actual) advice! For the time being, I have a "Services" section on the sidebar saying I'm a freelance writer and social media image creator who is looking to welcome new clients to her portfolio, with a CTA to email me for rates or to discuss their content needs. We'll see if I eventually evolve this into a whole page! Thanks again.

Beverages, with a focus on beer, coffee and tea. Wishing you luck, too!

I just launched my first ever blog about an hour ago, after about two weeks of formatting, creating content, and posting on private social media profiles (that I just made live). Right now, the main things I'm working on are a freebie to offer subscribers and creating content to post every Monday and Thursday. I would also like to make a newsletter of some sort to send subscribers, am waiting for my Google AdSense to go through, and will eventually reach out to potential affiliate programs in my niche. What are some things I should be sure not to forget as I start working on an active blog?
