Thanks, Victoria for writing this blog :)

I'm also starting in blogging but get struck with that perfectionism syndrome. I've also taken #2Articles1Week challenge in order to improve my skills as a developer & blogger.

Hello Victoria
It is a really nice article. I can relate with it so much 😊 I have recently started blogging, and I am not sure about my writing style. I want to know whether it is easy for others to understand, I just don't want to be the only person who can understand my blog 😅
So can you please check out my blog and share your opinions please. I will try to incorporate your every advice 😊

Thanks for reading prabanjan raja, your blog is great! Well-structured and easy to understand. Good job! Keep it up!

Some feedback: For the titles, please do not use acronyms such as "CP setup for VS Code". Write in full "Competitive Programming for Visual Studio Code". This is better for SEO and also, you can't assume everyone understands your acronym. It's better for your readers.

For your blog, please add an About page to invite readers to get to know you as a writer better. Read this article for inspiration and check out my Blogging Tips Series to help you get started 😊 Good luck!

Thanks David Marshall! Glad that you've joined the Hashnode community! I highly encourage blogging on Hashnode. You mentioned you have blogged elsewhere. But Hashnode will be an entirely different experience 😊 You will have control over your content, you can introduce yourself to a community of passionate techies and you get to be involved in a great community!

If you ever published your first article here, let me know and I'll be your first reader 😊 All the best, cheers!

Thanks! Trying to figure out how to navigate the website currently. Might try to do something later this week, just to test the waters.

Also, are you excited for Legends: Arceus? I won't be playing a lot of games until I'm done with my bootcamp, but it looks like a lot of fun!

Banish the thought! No need to apologize at all.

But yeah, Arceus looks like a lot of fun! It'll probably end up being a gift for myself when I complete my classes. In the meantime, I'll plod through Skyward Sword an hour at a time.

Hi Sangeetha Karthik! I love your blog so far! The content you've written is great~

A small suggestion. Your Azure and Full Stack series don't have descriptions on them. It's better to let your readers know what the series is about so they know what to expect and can suggest future articles under the series for you. Also, because "Full Stack" is quite a broad term, it may confuse some people what's the focus of the series.

Also, consider adding an About page to show who you are as a writer. I recommend checking out this article to help you get started!

Other than that, great blog! Your articles are all well-structured with headers. You use bullet points when necessary. Code is well-formatted and clean. You have a good intro and conclusion. Well done! 😊

Hi Victoria, great article, you made a lot of valid points here which are some of the reasons I have started blogging and am also participating in the 2articles1week challenge.

By the way, a small typo I noticed: the quote is from Zig Ziglar (not Zaglar). I used to listen to his audio tapes a lot when I was younger — they were pretty great. :)

Thanks for the comment berry-wuliang. I am not great at all 5 languages to be honest but I know enough to survive haha. It takes time to learn but the more you practice, the better you will be.

With English, you can start a blog to practice, read more blogs to learn from the people who are better and then continue writing to develop the skill. You can also use tools like Grammarly to help with your grammar and spelling.

All the best! åŠ æ˛šīŧ
