Internal linking is one of the most effective SEO strategies for bloggers.

It helps search engines discover your posts faster, strengthens your site structure, and passes authority to your most important pages. Over time, this can improve rankings, increase page views, and grow ad revenue.

I created a detailed guide explaining the best internal linking strategy for Blogger in 2026:

Blogger sites can absolutely appear in Google AI Overviews.

The key is not the platform—it is how well your content is structured for AI extraction.

Use concise answers, question-based headings, FAQ schema, semantic entities, and strong E-E-A-T signals.

Taking Stock: 26 Little Snapshots of My Life and the Blogging World

‘ Taking Stock‘ is a fun, clever way to capture what’s happening in your life right now, using each letter of the alphabet as a prompt. I’m not sure how long this idea has been around, but when I read Debbie’s post on her blog, Deb’s World, it instantly caught my imagination, and I knew I had to give it a try myself.

In her latest ‘Taking Stock’ post, Debbie says she likes to pause every few months to take stock of the little things in her life, as they are sometimes the best bits. I agree!

To answer the prompts, she likes to give herself a few moments to process the words and avoid overthinking them. She then finds suitable photos to add. Debbie does these posts every 3-4 months.

Here goes – my first ‘Taking Stock’ post.

Admiring: Those bloggers who followed me by changing their blog’s theme to a Block theme. I haven’t come across anyone yet who has reverted to a Classic theme. Well done to the bloggers who have made the switch.

https://hughsviewsandnews.com/2026/04/20/youre-not-stuck-the-surprising-power-of-finally-changing-your-blog-theme/

Believing in myself: Because of my dyslexia, I don’t usually accept beta-reading offers. But when Marsha Ingrao told me her book was about blogging, I jumped at the chance to beta-read it. It boosted my confidence big time. Thank you, Marsha.

Curious by: I’ve seen some great cloud formations recently. I love that all my photos and information are stored in the clouds. But what happens when it rains?

Decluttering: I love decluttering and have been doing a lot of it over the last few months. It leaves me feeling calm and positive. And look at all that free space! Wow! Not even my blog has escaped. Do you enjoy decluttering?

Excited by: It’s that time of year again. The Eurovision Song Contest takes place on 16 May in Vienna. I’m not sure about the United Kingdom’s entry this year. It’s different, and different can deliver good results, but how many points would you give it?

Flabbergasted: I’ve finally convinced myself I don’t need to keep up with fashion trends after seeing this. How do they sit down in some of those outfits?

Grateful for outdoor space. I’m not green-fingered. Thankfully, I have a partner who is.

Horrified by the recent election results in parts of the UK. What on earth is going on? Some parts of society seem to want to go back to the 1930s.

Ironing: My best ideas for blog posts and flash fiction come to me when I’m standing in front of an ironing board. That’s why I enjoy ironing. Where do you get your best ideas?

Juggling time between blogging and life can be difficult. I see bloggers struggling with it all the time. Finding the perfect balance can be challenging, but it can be done. Step back, and you’ll soon see how to do it.

Kindness: This quote struck a chord when I saw it on Bluesky recently. If only all humans were like this. Please be kind to one another.

Listening to music, I used to play when I was a DJ in various pubs and nightclubs in London, where I loved filling dance floors. It was an achievement I loved. Now, some of that music helps me write. Do you have a music playlist?

Mood: I’ve always been a positive person. The glass is always half full. Don’t let others drag you down with their negativity. They aren’t worth your time.

Noticing: The nights. They are getting much shorter in the UK. On June 21st, the sun doesn’t set where I live until 21:37, so we will have over 18 hours of daylight. I still find it strange to go to bed when it’s not pitch dark.

Ordering less online: It’s convenient, but when I do go to the local high street and see how many shops are vacant, it makes me feel that I have been part of the problem. Support your local high street shops.

Puzzled by: I’m still trying to work out why WordPress changed the name of ‘Reusable Blocks’ to ‘Patterns’. It doesn’t make sense. If you’re still using the Classic editor, you won’t have any idea what I’m talking about.

Questioning bloggers: I’m delighted with the response to the questions I asked in my previous post. The main question was ‘How often should you publish blog posts?’ The responses make interesting reading and have many bloggers thinking. Why not join them?

https://hughsviewsandnews.com/2026/05/05/how-often-should-you-publish-blog-posts-real-questions-for-real-bloggers/

Reading: I’m reading my first book of 2026. Dyslexia means I prefer to watch rather than read, but this book has sparked my interest, especially when I spotted myself on the front cover. It’s non-fiction, fascinating, with some humour thrown in. What are you reading?

Still pleased that I started cutting my own hair in 2013. The hair clippers cost me £49.99. When a barber last cut my hair that year, it cost £7.50. Now that’s what I call a satisfying cost saving. Do you cut your own hair?

Thankful to be able to smile again after having two front teeth replaced with implants. The two offending teeth were removed last July. It’s been a long wait for the bone to fill the gaps and grow around the implant sockets. Now I can share smiles with others again.

Understanding that not everyone will agree with me. But please try to disagree in a professional and friendly manner.

Very thankful that bloggers continue to share my blog posts. Whether it’s on social media, by linking to one of my posts, or simply by mentioning me by name, I’m always delighted when people tell me that reading one of my posts has helped.

Wondering how I won a pair of boxer shorts in a competition I entered to win a year’s supply of teabags. But I guess I should be pleased to have won something. Have you won anything recently?

eXtra special: Yeah, I cheated here, as I couldn’t think of anything that begins with the letter X. As Debbie says in her post, ‘don’t overthink it!’ So here’s a photo of Austin, who is eXtra special to me.

Yearning for you to read my latest story for the Story Chat feature on Marsha’s blog. Honestly, it’s very different from what I usually write and from the other stories I’ve written for Story Chat. It goes live in September.

Zooming in on how good it is to be part of the writing world, given that I have dyslexia. Your support and encouragement have been a big part of the journey. Thank you!

As you can see, this little “Taking Stock” exercise has given me plenty to think about, smile about, and even scratch my head over. I’d love to hear how life is looking from where you are right now. Which of my answers resonated with you most? If you picked just one prompt from this list—Admiring, Believing, Decluttering, Grateful, Wondering, or any of the others, what would your answer be today?

My thanks to Debbie at Deb’s World for the inspiration to write this post.

How Often Should You Publish Blog Posts? Real Questions for Real Bloggers

One of the comments left on a recent post of mine not only caught my attention but also prompted me to reconsider a subject I have often heard discussed among bloggers and readers: the balance between quantity and quality in blogging.

Quantity vs Quality in Blogging

We think the biggest change in blogging is the number of senseless posts, especially these senseless affirmative comments. There is much quantity and less and less quality. You cannot maintain a certain quality when producing a post daily.
We quite often ask ourselves why we put ourselves through this, visiting so many pointless blogs? That’s one of the reasons we’re considering ending blogging. Maybe it’s our narcissism that keeps us blogging?

What do You think?

What keeps you blogging, and how do you feel about the balance between quantity and quality?

How do they do it?

I’ve often wondered how some bloggers produce so many posts. I’m talking about those who publish more than one post a day. Are they robotic, sitting at their computers all day, every day, or do they have a secret to writing and scheduling posts without compromising quality?

Can We Post Daily and Still Maintain Quality?

What would you think of a blogger who said they published lots of posts daily because they didn’t have anything else to do, but then added they didn’t have time to leave engaging comments, so they left short, non-engaging comments everywhere because they had too many blogs to visit? All that would tell me is that they didn’t have time for the bloggers or blogs they follow.

If you’re producing blog posts with little text and lots of photographs, I can understand why you’re posting so many posts daily. But does producing so many posts affect not only the quality of the posts but also the quality of your blog?

Do Frequent Posts Attract Meaningful Engagement?

One of the reasons I stopped publishing Wordless Wednesday posts was that they weren’t attracting the kind of comments I crave. Instead, those posts were getting comments that I thought made my blog look spammy. It can feel pointless when, week after week, your posts receive the same “Lovely photo!” comment without any detail about what makes the reader say that. I see it all the time, all over the blogging world. How many ways can you keep responding to the same ‘Lovely photo’ comment without it becoming too boring or pointless?

I’ve also stopped following blogs because they were publishing too many posts each day. I found it too overwhelming.

Over to you

This is the place to discuss and engage not only with me but also with other readers. Have your say. I’d love to hear your thoughts, so please leave a comment and start a discussion on this intriguing blogging topic. Do you think posting more often affects the quality of what we publish and how we interact with each other?

• How long have you been blogging?
• How often do you publish?
• What keeps you blogging, and how do you feel about the balance between quantity and quality on your blog?
• Do you believe that too many blog posts spoil the quality of posts and the blog they are on?
• What, for you, is the perfect quantity and quality balance?

I look forward to discussing this subject with you all.
