This is my #1 blogging resource! Whether you are just starting a blog or have been blogging for a while, Food Blogger Pro is an excellent blogging community headed up by Bjork and Lindsay Ostrom of Pinch of Yum. With your monthly subscription you have access to over 300 easy to follow video tutorials, my favorites include photography, photo editing, building traffic, and generating income. There is also an active community forum that connects you to other bloggers and industry experts when you get stuck or simply have a question. Plus so much more!
Always Ravenous uses the Foodie Pro Theme + Genesis framework. For a non techie and non graphic artist like me, Foodie Pro Theme gives my blog the look I want with the ease of functionality.
I use Tailwind to schedule pins to my Pinterest account. Tailwind automatically optimizes my pinning schedule based on when my audience is most engaged. It has a browser extension that makes scheduling pins fast and efficient and provides analytics and insights so I know what’s working and what’s not.
