How was everyone's weekend. Mine was busy and needless to say I am glad that it is over and the kids are in school today. Though, that does not make today any easier. Saturday i went and had my nails redone, and I ended up going out and getting Rick a birthday gift, since Saturday was his birthday! Came home, had to cook dinner and get that all cleaned up.. Sunday, had to get Rick's Haircut, Diana a new pair of shoes and the store for Dinner that night since I have to go to the store today.. Saturday I was able to talk to a few friends from High-School that I haven't heard from in forever. That made it a pretty good day. It was just loud with the kids. They always seem to have to yell through the house when you are sitting on the couch..
Today the plans are we are supposed to go to travel and see when we can get a move date. It doesn't make it easier. I will be glad when this move is over.. Not to mention, I need to go by the bank and pay a bill. Run to the store and get groceries. Hoping to be home before the kids get home so I can get a few things done on the computer while it is quiet. Not really sure that is going to happen..
Not sure who read my post on Saturday if anyone but I am still doubting this move of blogs.
I guess it is because of the fact I am still not completely sure of the follow base on here. I know it takes time to build a fan base but honestly it is just for some reason though I thought moving blogs for the new year would be good. I am not 100% sure now. I love the blog and why I blog it just seems something is missing. I have felt like this for a while especially with the other blog. I guess what is bothering me is the reader base. I join blog hops but yet it seems no one follows back. Though I have joined 1 on this blog but have followed about 30 new blogs and so forth and have 13 followers, Well so GFC says so anyway. I have tried to move away from the whole blogging because I am a Military Wife and a Mom Blogger.. I guess anyway. Though I do blog about my life, the kids and just random just because things... It doesn't mean anything. I still enjoy blogging. I am able to write what is on my mind.
With the whole thought of the blogs, I would love everyone's Input. The other blog is http://www.foreveryoursfaithfully.net/ if you want to take a look and leave me suggestions on what to do.. Do I continue this blog or just move all the content to that blog.. HELP please Maybe what ever i can decide can help me get out of this slump! I have posted some of my posts from this blog to that blog to Today..
I tell you I probably could write a book if I tried or really wanted to.. Sometimes I have seriously put some thought into that. When I blog the words just seem to flow as well as the thought and I have to stop my self at some point, or it will go on FOREVER!
I guess I should probably stop my self here. It may be a good idea since if not I will never get anything done..
Will be back later with This weeks Photo for Project 52~

ReplyDeleteIf you focus on trying to get followers only it might get a little frustrating. You need to focus on why you wanted to do it in the first place. I really got into this because I was looking for an outlook to express myself and to meet new people.
ReplyDeleteI am following you now and would love for you to follow along.

I second what Jillian is saying....followers don't attribute to readers. If you simply want followers for "numbers" sake, don't worry about the comments. Followers do not leave comments. But if you want readers the only way to go about doing that is to read and comment on other blogs. If you show a genuine interest in other blogs and comment often on their posts, they will come back and do the same. I've been blogging for almost four years and have learned some secrets after asking the same questions you've asked. Hang in there and you'll get the hang of it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Both Heather and Jillian. It made me realize alot.. I have thought about looking to get a book on blogging but I am still looking for the right one. I don't do Giveaways or Reviews. I have tried that, and though the reviews are good, It just seemed to take something away from the blog in the first place. Someone told me a long time ago that having a successful blog was all about Numbers of Followers. I guess really they were not who I needed to be asking the questions to in the first place. I have been blogging for about 3 years and have been through a ton of names trying to find something that fit me. This one I guess just came to me while I was talking to a friend of mine.. She and I discussed life and being a Military Wife, How we never know what is going on one day to the next and I thought wait, Crazy Life - Chaotic Wife would be a good name for a blog. It fits me to. My life is crazy and Chaotic Wife just seem to fit in there too. So Thank you both again for making me realize a few things I must have gotten away from.
