Before I launched my lifestyle blog, Connecticut in Style, I didn’t have a twitter or instagram account (crazy right?). I knew that I wanted to publish my blog content on the top social media platforms so I made sure that ctinstyle was available as a website domain, as an Instagram handle and for Twitter – although I had no idea what to do with them. Over the past 8 months, I’ve been blogging daily and learning a lot about social media. It’s been such an amazing experience to immerse myself this world of real time media. I’ve been spending more and more time learning how to perfect my instagram images so they are a reflection of me. The first few photos that I posted were okay, not great. I wanted them to get better, so I started doing research to get tips on how to take better photographs with my iPhone which has helped tremendously. By far, the best teacher has been learning from other people whose instagram handles I’d rather not live without.
