Recklessly authentic.
I've been blogging for seven years, and one of the things that have been consistent, even long before social media, is e-mail. Bloggers have to have a way to contact and be contacted. Now, I realize that my list may not apply to every blogger, but I'm sure that most bloggers can identify. 7 things you do, but should really stop doing when you e-mail bloggers (especially me): 1.

When I put up the post asking where all the first-generation Nigerian bloggers went to, I think I got more information than I bargained for. And I loved it.

When I started blogging seven years ago, I did not know any blogger - Nigerian or otherwise - and then one day, I got a comment. I visited her blog and linked to other blogs. And more blogs.

There were bloggers like London Buki, Taurean Minx, Bab's House, Azuka, Real Naija Bloke, Afronuts, Guy Horny, Baroque, Overwhelmed Naija Babe, Good Naija Girl, Omohemi Benson, Boorish Male, Temmy Tayo, Diamond Read More
May I just start this by saying how truly blessed and highly favored I am to have you guys as my readers? You make everything soooooo worth it. And you know what will make your love even more obvious? It's for you to attend this class. Duh! As you know, I have been blogging for seven years, and let me tell you, if I had known then what I know now, I would have saved myself a lot of time. If someone had told me certain things that I have come to find out for myself along the course of my Read More
