Getting back to blogging

It’s been a while since my last post. There are numerous reasons for the pause, which I would like to carthartically (sp?) list here:

1. Time, time, time and lack of time…

2. I kind of hate this template…. it doesn’t look good. I am the sort of person that can’t start a PowerPoint presentation until the template is sorted and looking nifty and appropriate to the project.  

3. Little or no response… i.e. low readership figures. Proven using Google Analytics.

4. Lack of focus and purpose… probably impacting by the above, not to mention the more than 70 million blogs out there.

5. Little engagement with other bloggers… I had been writing on issues that affected me personally as opposed to trends that affect or interest others.

6. Serious concerns about the All in One SEO Pack – does this work?

Things I am going to do to address this moving forward:

A. Trust my instincts a little bit more and shoot from the hip to increase the regularity.

B. Introduce more humour, god knows I have plenty to share around, eh?

C. Stalk a few well known Australian bloggers and converse.

D. Stick to my knitting… focus on one clear topic, which will be ??? (wait and see)

E. Set targets (secret)

Thanks to the three people that have loyally logged on every day during the last month or more. Thanks to the three spam comments that made it through Akismet and to Laurel Papworth for being a recent visitor.
