The Blog
The title is a shortened version of the phrase, “bits of Aylee.” Aylee Bits is not only my personal online journal, but also my own information hub for travel, photography, design, the web, shopping, arts and crafts, weddings and more. I also use this blog to post some of my work at my design site, Aylee Designs.
On some days of the week, I do Feature Posts:
MONDAY FINDS
I post items that I find interesting, unique, or useful.
TUESDAY FUNNY
I post a joke or two.
WTF WEDNESDAY
It’s not really a featured post. It’s just random rants I post on Wednesdays. But I don’t always post this. I promise I’m not that whiney :P.
FEATURED THURSDAY
I feature a photographer and other artists
FRIDAY READ
I feature blogs that I find interesting and worth reading
