Obviously I don’t blog as much as I used to. I “microblog” on Twitter and send links and status updates to Facebook but I rarely write a full-out blog post.
And I’m getting bored with this design. It’s been what? A year or since I changed it?
So I’m working on a new design. I don’t want it to be too cluttered, that’s the hard part. Right now I have a tumblog, a lifestream, and this site. Too many!
A few things:
- No one reads through archives or clicks on tags.
- My long, researched posts get great feedback from people I know, but never go viral in any way.
- I earn practically nothing from advertising and affiliate links.
- I have brilliant, creative friends, and I love to share and promote what they do.
- Sometimes I hesitate to write or post something here because I wonder if it fits. This is not good.
I’ve got some work to do. See ya when the new design goes live!

Tags are almost useless, I think. I keep tagging my posts, but with almost zero enthusiasm.
It's not a waste of time just because it doesn't go viral.
Everything fits.
You're right of course, Amber, and it's not so much about 'going viral' as hitting my target for those posts, which is people outside of my usual circle. If I don't hit them sometimes I wonder why I bothered.

And yes- everything fits! But I was starting to get confused about where to focus. The answer- focus on whatever interests me in the moment. Which is why I love your blog, by the way
