Personally, I tend to favour blogs which chart the ebb and flow of the author's everyday life, and I like reading about all the different aspects of it, from children, to plans for the garden to your hopes and aims for the future.(I especially like these posts.) I like blogs that write honestly, with their own voice, and from the heart - your blog does that for me. But, as looking for blue sky says, it's about what YOU want. <br /><br />I agree with the comments about evolution and the blog changing with you. For many of us, blogs do chart our lives, and life itself can be up and down in it's randomness. I try to see my blog as an experimental place - people can share in it with me, and read my mistakes along the way! A writers canvas if you like. <br /><br />I can see why you might like to create some pages - esp as you do strike me as someone who likes order! I've been thinking about doing this too. I guess it's like creating an index for a book. Sort of!<br /><br />I love the motherduck as it is, I don't think you need to shake it up - unless you want to. Although sometimes a little bit of housekeeping can feel quite satisfying!<br /><br />xxxMummy Plumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10746501465644149765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285764348871241345.post-27836654059941159352012-06-19T16:38:29.301+01:002012-06-19T16:38:29.301+01:00Lynsey, I agree with OM.

When I started writing my blog I went down the parent blogging route and loved it, but then someone made the comment that they thought I was going to do a creative writing blog (I'd been doing a bit of that too) and it just stopped me in my tracks and I didn't blog for ages. But then I realised, like OM said, I enjoyed writing about what I was writing about, whatever that turned out to be, and so I started blogging again. It all grows naturally with you and with your changing interests. There will be something for a great many of the people who stop by, so I don't think there's any need to worry about it not being coherent. It's evolving, and all the better for that.caughtwritinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03272591019159417768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285764348871241345.post-57308786790310406412012-06-19T16:32:21.601+01:002012-06-19T16:32:21.601+01:00Ooh, thanks OM!

I am thinking maybe I will just try and organise the blog a little more, via the pages, so if people want the Disability Diaries it is there, Home / Family / Inspiration, Creative etc.Lynsey Summershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026494707946270279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285764348871241345.post-65485700462218985522012-06-18T18:22:36.410+01:002012-06-18T18:22:36.410+01:00Thank you.

The focus may chnage from year to year. Its totally up to you. I think variety is good and blogging for yourself is the most important thing. I know you for the disability diaries (your niche), inspiring posts about you and your family as a whole and your creative writing. If you love what you write about it does not matter what you write about - the passion will come through your words. I'm thinking of Polly of Caught Writing who has emabarked on blogging about all things French and its just so full of energy and a buzz to read. Honestly, write about what you love and the rest will follow.Older Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02923339244117157344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285764348871241345.post-47367905187590894742012-06-18T13:21:40.444+01:002012-06-18T13:21:40.444+01:00Congratulations on your blogging achievements so f...Congratulations on your blogging achievements so far! And I agree in a way with what you say about blogs with themes being the most successful - eg Love That Max which features in your blogroll. But different readers look for different things and as a blogger, it's what YOU want. I didn't set out to be a special needs blogger, though I am now usually put in that category, but I write about whatever is in my head at the time and just hope that someone will like it. It's worked fairly well so far :)Looking for Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010049814419812468noreply@blogger.com
