Being a Blog Angel

Earlier this month, I signed up to be a blog angel.  I wanted to get to know other bloggers and I thought this would be a great way to do that.  Being able to stalk them and actually have a reason seemed like a great plan.  


We are now a little more then half way through the Blog Angel time and its proved to be an interesting ride.

1) What have you learnt about yourself from helping another blogger?

I have lots to learn about blogging :)  The person I have has many many more followers and posts under her belt.  I feel a tad inadequate to be supporting her.  

2) What has been the most fun thing about being a Blog Angel? What has been the most frustrating?

Fun: Getting feedback from the person I am supporting (in the form of gratitude)

Frustrating:  Not knowing really how to support them.  I am a little clueless on how to give them what they might need.

3) Has being a Blog Angel changed your approach to blogging? How?

Its helped me feel a little more comfortable in encouraging someone. 

4) How have you made time to help someone else out?

I haven't done as much as i would have liked.  My person hasn't posted much so I've had to be a little creative in how I encourage her.  (Not her fault, she's just a busy gal)

5) Have you been trying to work out who is helping you or are you more concerned with helping others?

Yes, I think i read too much into random tweets or posts but I, on some level, have tried to figure it out.

6) How does being a Blog Angel affect your experience of blog land?

Its helped me be more encouraging and outgoing in how i interact with other bloggers. Something in me often is shy in commenting or tweeting about others.  I think its more of a shyness (that is in my real life too) and a worry that i will weird people out.  This has helped me move beyond that.

Overall, its been a fun experience.  I wish I knew how else to support my person, but hopefully I can find more ways in the next week or two!
