Just taking a little time to retool the old blog. Hoping to turn it into my daily home. Though, I hear blogs are very 2004. Maybe I should be thinking of something else. Why blog? Well, I Tweet, but most of my peeps aren’t into the Twitter thing, so they don’t get in on the action. Yeah, they’re redirected to Facebook, but that’s something I’m cutting back on. You see, I’ve disabled comments on my FB posts because I’m not there too often.

I guess one of my questions is, how do I focus my blog? Yeah, I want to post my daily/hourly thoughts/status on “whatever,” but I can use Twitter for that and echo my tweets onto the blog, right? But the question is focus. I know that you’re supposed to write about what you know and what interests you. That’s what makes your writing genuine, right? That said, I know that I want to have some sort of broader appeal. The question I just answered in my head though, was “Who is the broad audience?” It could be my friends as it is, but maybe if I do stick to my interests, even though I don’t have contacts who are into what I’m into, I could try to promote it to people who do share those interests.

So, it looks like I’m going to do a broad blog, targeting folks who are not yet my “contacts.” Yet, I’m still looking for a focus, a theme, a point for my site. What could it be?

  • Geocaching
  • Bible
  • Being a dad
  • Reform Theology
  • Mac
  • iTouch
  • VW’s (TDI’s)
  • Web Design
  • Model Trains

Tumble-blogs are all the range these days. I like the idea of keeping things short, and a tumble-blog would make that easy. Though, from what I’ve seen, tblogs don’t afford the full range of possibilities that WP does. AP is considering flipping 22w over to tumblr. I like his site.

Anyway, it’s something to think about. I’ll get back to this soon.
