002: How to Add a “Back To Top” Button to Your Blog? Blogger & WordPress Tutorial
I know you want your readers to sink into your content. For this reason, you might consider having quite a few posts displayed on one page. However, if you keep your site navigation as well as social media buttons next to your header, you will want to make the process of getting back to the top as easy as possible.

Something to remember:

003: 10 TIME-SAVING HACKS FOR BUSY SOLOPRENEURS
As a business owner, I always struggle to manage my personal life and workload. I’m a boss and an employee to myself. Therefore most of the days, I have to force myself stop working and go to bed hoping for that one extra hour of work. If you’re solopreneur like me- you probably don’t have that many hours to spare too. So I’ve rounded up some tips that we could all use to get that extra hour or two in a day.

Things I love:

003: HOMEMADE GINGER LEMONADE
I’m always in look for a new mixer and some homemade lemonade is usually a winner when it comes to whiskey or bourbon drinks. Trust me, there’s nothing better than refreshing lemons + spicy ginger flavours with a kick, poured over ice in a tall glass!

Personal:

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend. I spend mine surrounded by family & friends and it was wonderful. I’d prefer to have a few days off know tho, haha!

I know this blog was a bit silent in the past week, but I hope my tutorials page compensates the lack of posts. My goal is to keep posting daily tutorials on my website and still keep up with 3-4 quality posts every week here on kotrynabass.com. Wish me luck!

Hope you guys enjoyed this post. Don’t forget to show some love to bloggers I got to work with recently. I feel very honoured being able to help so many of you! Give me a shout if you’d love to hire me on building your blog + branding.
