Redesigning, Recommitting and Writing

February 11, 2008 · Filed Under Blog marketing, PR, Media, Blogs 

Not sure whether it was the move from Typepad to Wordpress, other social media hang outs, being preoccupied with a home construction project gone wild, or work, kids, mom, or any combination and/or permutation of these things, but I just kind of stopped regular blogging

I found myself writing imaginary blog posts in my head but not actually writing them. Oh, I missed blogging. I missed my blog. My blog, just didn’t feel like home to me any more.

So, I tried to lure myself back…maybe I would make blogging a New Years resolution. Write that as a blog post and declare it out loud. Didn’t happen.

I signed up for the Blogger Social. Surely that was something to blog about. But, still blogger’s block remained.

I searched for cures. There was great advice available: Darren Rouse had 25 tips for battling blogger’s block. Performancing had 12 Tips. Merlin Mann said to Hack Your Way Out. LifeClever had 10 Tips for beating blogger’s block.

The problem was I just couldn’t get comfortable with the blog design. Dot-Chris suggested we just start over. So, we did. And here I am blogging about it. It’s a start, right?
