I started just loading snapshots, but I'm finding that it seems to be more interesting for people if it is more of an extension of my blog with well thought out images of 'everyday' things, if that makes sense. For me it's turning into another 'professional' style of promotion rather than simply a place for fun snapshots... (this is a recent development and it seems to be more appealing to my followers?)<br />http://instagram.com/kittyandbuckKittyAndBuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836505276169472152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408906677306311135.post-38763695298040771202014-03-01T10:12:22.907-06:002014-03-01T10:12:22.907-06:00Very, very late to the party...glad to hear it'...Very, very late to the party...glad to hear it's not over while I work out how to use it for business.

I will admit I was a bit of a late joiner too by only signing up and starting using it in October 2012 due to the fact that all phones I had previously didn't run it. It's such a great tool! You can use it for keeping up with whats happening in friends/family's lives. You can use it for inspiration. And you can use it for keeping an eye on those celebs you love the most! It's a brilliant app and I'd be very surprised if people who own iPhones and other smart phones don't have it. <br />You can find my instagram <a href="http://www.instagram.com/laurengemmahay" rel="nofollow">@LaurenGemmaHay</a><br />Lauren | <a href="http://www.ohhayblogs.blogspot.co.uk" rel="nofollow">OhHay Blogs!</a><br />xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00357709295497719969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408906677306311135.post-84663576413898937072014-02-27T09:43:04.046-06:002014-02-27T09:43:04.046-06:00I have not joined IG at this time.

I love it though because for me it's a great way to share what I'm working on and doing, but also just really fun. I love to play with silly filters like light leaks and putting text or hearts or whatever on pictures. When I'm taking photos for my shop or blog, I take it pretty seriously and am diligent about getting the best photo I can. But IG is all about fun. It doesn't matter if the light is not great, or the composition could be better. It's about having fun and connecting with people in a much more informal and laid back way. I'm still not sure how I feel about all the product placement and ads on IG. I mean, I use it to show products in my shop too, but some of the corporate ads get to be a little too much. Also, I get why a lot of people abandoned their blogs. If you have a blog that's strictly personal and you don't write a lot, why not use IG instead?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00263044857099967566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408906677306311135.post-50640042514995136472014-02-27T09:25:29.164-06:002014-02-27T09:25:29.164-06:00I love IG, but I have yet to find the balance of p...I love IG, but I have yet to find the balance of personal/work stuff. I found that I kept posting iPhone pictures of my kids, so I made the account private. It's a great way to share those pics with people that really care. But then I recently opened an account for my business because I found that people were asking for it. But I feel like the photos are so boring! And for some reason, i have been really against posting "real" photos on there and keeping it all iPhone. Therefore, those pics aren't very exciting. Those I know that DO post their "real" photos on there have pretty good luck with it, but I'm still on the fence. Anyway, now that I made my public IG sound not very exciting, :) Here's the link: http://instagram.com/hollygardnerphotographyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00366411988660961724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408906677306311135.post-10299258876585932262014-02-27T08:24:05.505-06:002014-02-27T08:24:05.505-06:00I looove Instagram.
