Thank you for the tips...Dear Wandering Chopsticks,<br /><br />Thank you for the tips! I've had a food blog for a while but didn't know how to increase its traffic. I've just registered with FoodGawker and TasteSpotting, hopefully that will help. <br /><br />I have a question though: if I don't write recipes but do want to join in the food blogging events, what should I do? Are there events for non-recipeMaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15580895848125859975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-3272819587685103662009-09-28T09:39:41.544-07:002009-09-28T09:39:41.544-07:00Sharon,
