Working on a new look and feel (for the blog)

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 :).
