This weekend we “Spring forward” into Daylight Saving Time and in just a couple of weeks, the calendar will tell us it’s officially Spring (even if the weather forecasts do not not!) Around this time of year, many of us turn our attentions towards Spring cleaning our homes but it’s also a good time to Spring clean your blog!

Our next #O2OChat Hangout on Air will focus on tips & tricks for sprucing up your blog and making it shine! We’ve gathered a panel of women who are experienced in blogging, blog design, coding, SEO, and working with brands to show us some simple ways to improve our blogs.

• Where: One2One Network’s Google+ Page

AND Hangout panel member Becca Ludlum has offered a one-hour blog consultation to a hangout attendee! During the Hangout, you’ll need to either make a comment or ask a question on the Hangout post to be eligible to win a prize.
