Which Direction Is My Blog Going?

I’ve been blogging and closely reading other blogs for a few months now. I’ve noticed that many blogs change direction. First bloggers will start out on a topic. Then switch to blogging about blogging and then end up somewhere else. I guess blogs evolve with time just like people.
I started out with just kind of a basic step by step process. Just documenting each thing I learned. Then I started learning about networking and marketing. Then I got caught up in contests. Which I still like but it is an effort to tastefully implement them in a blog.
Recently I’ve been doing some sponsored posts, which is good writing practice plus I usually learn something and make a little cash. I will continue to do these and try to implement them tastefully as well. As usual I have a blog to do list and I thought I would post it here:
-
Work on SEO
-
More Writer Tips
-
More Writer Resources
-
Better Layout
-
Better Design
-
New Theme
-
New Header
-
New Logo
-
New Favicon
This is my current list of things I need to work on. Another issue is posting frequency. I’ve noticed some of my favorite blogs have cut down on posting frequency. I’ve tried a few things. But just to make blogging more fun and less stressful, I don’t have an exact schedule. Plus often times when I’m not posting I’m still working on blog related activities. Once again thanks to everyone for following along. Hopefully I’ll have some good stuff in the future. Emma

Sounds like where I was when I was 4-1/2 months old. I mean when the blog was 4-1/2 months old (I was just getting good at falling on my face at that age).
It’s called growing into your new blog. I’ve been doing it for two years now. I actually think I’m to the point where I might stay with my current theme but I still haven’t figured out where I’m going yet. I’m sure you’ll do much better than that.

Your header is really nice. That’s one of the things I need to get. Thanks for commenting. Emma
