So I went searching into the wonderful world of Blogger today to try to find a new obsession. My favorite show, Big Rich Texas has recently ended its current season and I need something to keep my eye on. I thought Why not a blog? Well, I went to my own blog and clicked on the Next Blog>> button to try to find one with a good writing style, humor and a cutting-edge topic.
Unfortunately, the blogs I looked at won't get any more page views from me. There were two types: Ministry (yawn) or Family (eye-roll). While there are people out there looking to further their walk with Jesus, I find it unnecessary to have 49-50% of blogs be dedicated to it. But that's just me - The methods of ministry are entirely their choice and we have freedom of religion. As for the many blogs about families, I just don't find it entertaining to read about how adorable someone's kids are. I bet you think your kids are the greatest thing in the planet - but so does every other proud parent on the planet. It must be a mother thing that I, obviously, don't understand.
The only thing I saw that I have in common with some of those Bloggers are that we all want more page views. I know I do! But how do we get the word out about our blog? I write about the people in my life and I write some pretty personal things - I don't want the town or my family knowing what I write about - but I still want other people to see it.
All well, I'll do some research. And those of you experienced Bloggers: Feel free to send some knowledge my way! I love getting personal messages. In the mean time, I'll keep looking for my new obsession. It could be one of you...
