I’m not really into writing blog posts just for the sake of writing blog posts. I don’t think people are really interested in the color of the socks I wore yesterday, or how many bottles of mineral water I plan to consume tomorrow. On the other hand, a blog with posts every week or so just feels kind of blah. It’s also important to make a personal connection and not just talk about “heavy” topics all the time.
The blogs I enjoy the best are the ones where you feel like you’re part of the author’s life. He or she invites you to take the journey with them. You get to spend some time inside their head.
I’m the first to admit I’m not the best blogger around, nor have I lived up to my hope that I would post something nearly every day. It’s especially hard now with my crazy schedule (commuting two hours to San Francisco and back every weekday). But I’m determined to pick up the pace, and I hope to carve out a chunk of time soon to make some much-needed improvements around here.
So, what do you think makes a good blog? What would you like to see happen around here? What would you like to know about me? What topics interest you the most? Let me know!

I have to agree with you on all counts. I sometimes get irritated with myself when I post silly unimportant and uninteresting things. I pity you and your drive. I drive 1 1/2 hours a day to and from work and I dislike it very much.
I struggle with keeping the blog updated often as well. I do alright but it is rarely easy to come up with something I think people might want to hear.
Good luck on the direction of your blog.
Thanks James…I think it’s important to post silly and uninteresting things sometimes. Not everything has to be 100% deep and profound.
I take the bus into SF, so it’s not quite as bad. Driving that length of a commute every day is pretty tough. I pity you too! LOL
