Now, don't get me wrong. I enjoy knowing that some of you read my words faithfully every day, sometimes more than once a day. I love it that what I say is worthwhile enough that it is read over 1800 times each month. I love getting little comments here and there telling me you enjoy reading my words. But seriously. This is NOT for you. It's for me. And if no one every read my words again, I think I'd keep writing them. (But let's not try that, okay?)
I've been thinking about writing this morning, and more specifically about blogging. I've been pondering what I like to see in a blog, how I like it to be formatted, what annoys me...and I have come to realize that my own blog is annoying! There's no rhyme or reason to it. Nothing is scheduled or planned. I sit down in my "office" (read: recliner) during naptime, throw something together, and put it out there for the world to see. Maybe this week it's Tuesday and we did a cool project in the morning that I want to tell you about. Or it's Tuesday and my kid said something funny I want to tell you about. Or it's Tuesday and I did my taxes and want to complain about it. Who knows? You never know what you might find when you pop into my blog!
Maybe you like that, maybe you don't. But like I said, it annoys me. I'm the kind of girl that likes to know that every Thursday when I look at your blog, there's going to be a new picture of something Crazy Aunt Edna did this week. I like to know that every Monday when I look at your blog there'll be a story about what your silly monkeys ate for breakfast. I'm the kind that likes to know that on Saturdays you'll tell me how many socks you left unmatched that week. I like routines! So I will be working on a "schedule" of sorts. It'll be a loose one, I think. It'll be written in sand, because sometimes I will go off topic and don't want to feel like I've let my readers down!
So, here's where I need you! I want to know what you love about your favorite blogs! I've got some things up my sleeve, mind you, but I want to know what you like! Is there a special weekly feature you'd like to see?
AND I want to hear what you don't like. Maybe you don't even like predictable blogs. I won't be offended if you tell me that information, either.
What do you want to see?
