Help?
Folks! I have probably been quite an annoyance to those of you that follow my blog (Followed rather) as you can't really follow something that hasn't been followable for a while. Completely my fault as I have been quite a lazy blogger and for that I apologise. As I always do.
I have been 'umming' and 'ahhing' as to whether to keep my blog going or not? I am aware that I ask this question quite a bit and get a few answers. My reason for asking is - Do you find my blog enjoyable to read and would you wish to continue to do so on a daily basis? I really enjoy writitng my blog and find it a great way of looking back over all of the things that I have done and am proud of. I find it wonderful that I am able to share all my experiences with you guys and hear what you all have to say!
I want to continue with my blog and become devoted and committed to it once again. But, I feel the need for a change and I would really appreciate your help in this change, if at all possible? When I say change - I do quite literally mean a change. I want to change the design of my blog and freshen it up etc:
When I posed a similar question to this to my followers a while back I did receive an email stating that I should perhaps focus my blog a bit more to one specific thing rather than my day to day things and as much as I respect that opinion and am very appreciative to the persons opinion - I don't feel that is necessary. I enjoy writing my day to day speel and I like the fact that my blog is somewhat random if you like. I know it isn't to everyone's tastes and perhaps I should listen to the advice of one reader but I am willing to decline that advice (gracefully of course.) and continue to write my life in words. However, that doesn't mean that I am not willing to write more or less on a specific topic etc etc:
Am I making sense? I fear I'm not - I regularly don't! :-)
So ladies and gents all I ask of you is - Blog ideas please? and any other opinions or comments on my blog would be greatly appreciated.
I'm also a pretty lazy blogger, currently working on my first post since the end of April and like you I tend to write about the humdrum day-to-day stuff as my professional work is not steady enough to warrant weekly updates on just that.
ReplyDeleteAs I've said, I've not posted for 3 months and I'm hoping to get back into weekly updates. May I suggest that you find a blogger who writes in a similar style to yourself to follow? This may give you the impetus to blog every time you see them post a new article.
Jimm - Thank you for your comment and super idea. I am on the hunt at the moment for good blogs to read! :-) Hope you're well matey!

Hi Jessica,
ReplyDeleteYou might like to take a look at my blog. I write 10 a week! I have a guest blogger too and hope to recruit a couple more this week. You might think about better use of photography and maybe a self hosted Wordpress blog? I used to use blogger but Wordpress is so much better and self hosted means you own it and you have a lot more freedom.
I'm going to get a horrible captcha now aren't I?
Hey. Mike,
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to visit and read my blog. I really appreciate your comments and I will hopefully do my best to take them on board.
Your blog is really lovely. I like the simplicity if your design and layout. It looks very neatand tidy.
I did move to Wordpress once but I found it a little too difficult. Perhaps that was just me being rather foolish and not taking note nor trying properly. I will take a look again this week and make a move decision then.
No, no no horrible captcha ;-) Thanks for your time.
Jessica
The stuff you are writing blows out my mind.
