Remember last week I said I'd signed up for Shimelle's Blogging for Scrapbookers class? Well this is the next one! I'm hoping that it will help me with the whole design of my blog, what I'm writing about, how it looks, how we interact with each other etc. So over the next three weeks there will probably be quite a number of changes here on this blog... and probably over on my business blog too! Is there anything you'd like to see happen or change? I'm open to suggestions! After all, that is the whole reason for taking this class!!
Like a lot of scrapbookers I started my first blog (dont' worry all the stuff I wrote then is now on this blog!) with the aim of keeping in touch with family and friends who live far away. Then I discovered that none of them were reading it... but my crafting friends were! So my focus changed to show more of crafting projects that I'd completed. However, then life got in the way and needed to be blogged about - with the full intention of scrapbooking it at a later date of course! - and then slowly this blog morphed into a "life, the universe and everything" type of blog instead. Lately most of the "everything" stuff has been about my weightloss journey. So now, I'll admit that I am confused what this blog's general topic is supposed to be. It's not really a crafting blog anymore, but I'd still like to include that if I ever get any crafting done that I can actually show you! It's a little bit about life, kids and holidays... but it's also a little bit about weightloss. Oh and perhaps a touch about my faith?? Basically it's a confused mess. LOL. So as we're making changes over the next three weeks I'd like to ask you a question... what would YOU prefer to read about?
Is there anything else that you would prefer? Granted, I'm not going to turn into a pro-blogger overnight but I'm hoping that this class will bring about a few improvements over the next three weeks.
Thanks for dropping by and leaving me your opinion and comments! I always love reading them. In fact, I was thinking of doing a post in response to some of the comments I've had lately. Would you like to read that or would it be too boring??
See you soon!
Interesting survey - personally I prefer blogs where you see a bit of everything - I like to get to know the writer - maybe I'm just nosey!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same, I love to read about family life along with the craft.
ReplyDeleteAt the risk of sounding a bit like Forest Gump, I like blogs which are like a box of chocolates, lots of different variety!
ReplyDeleteI like a bit of everything, but with the emphasis on crafts, if that makes sense!
ReplyDeleteI too like a bit of everything...I love finding out about other people's lives, but I also like seeing the crafty projects! I must confess that I don't really follow logs that are ALL craft (even scrapbooking!)

ReplyDeletei'm taking Shimelles class with you~your poll is great. How once you get your poll set up through polldaddy do you get it on your blog? Having trouble~ cm
ReplyDeleteI like to see and read about how people use their creativity, and enjoy little peaks into their lives too.
ReplyDeletewhat's that saying? "variety is the spice of life" that's my answer and I'm sticking to it.
