  2. Heya! I understand this is somewhat off-topic however I had to ask.

    Does managing a well-established blog such as yours require a large amount of
    work? I'm brand new to running a blog however I do write in my journal every day.
    I'd like to start a blog so I will be able to share my own experience and
    thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips
    for new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!
