When I started this blog I wanted it to be 80% Americana Music and 20% me. My fantastic news is that I was hired as a permenant employee at the Americana Music Association. Ever since then I have felt like 80% of this blog is a conflict of interest explaining my absence. The opinions on this blog are mine and mine alone and I never want what I say to affect the association.
What have I been doing instead? I have put an emphasis on my health, learned to use my DSLR, and am contributing to my husband's blog, Nerdgasm Now. I customized it and have even guest posted. He really liked the posts so I will probably contribute once a week or so over there. It looks like Tuesday will be my day.
What will happen to this blog? A complete redesign and restructure. Sorry boys, the blog is going mostly girly! I am still working out the plan, so details will come later this month. I will tell you this... It is going to be much more personal and posts will come more regularly. The blog will still have some music posts because, well, I wouldn't be me without it. However they will be majorly scaled back and will branch out to other types of music completely based on my interest level.
How do you feel about the changes? What is your favorite existing thing about this blog? I want you to still enjoy it here, so if you absolutely love something about it then I will try to keep it. Your feedback is important to me so please comment below.
i'm so excited about the changes! of course, i love all your music recommendations but it will be a lot of fun to have little peeks into your life. i think it's really important to have a space where you can be yourself and talk about whatever you want. i basically love any blog where i can tell the writer is genuine and passionate about what they are saying. good luck with everything— i can't wait to follow along!
ReplyDeleteThis is beyond exciting news! I have tried to leave a comment on here about this...about 20x but my phone hates comment forms. Go figure. Anyway- I am so glad you can now view blogging as recreational and that way I think a lot of the stress you were feeling will evaporate. I look forward to following along with all your new endeavors!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new job! I'm looking forward to seeing the blog's new direction, too. My favorite thing about any blog is its personal tone. To me, blogs are special because they are so much more personal than anything else I can find to read. When I find a blogger I really like, it feels like making a new friend.
