What Is Your Blog For?

It's been nearly a year since I started this blog. In the beginning this space was mostly a spot for personal reflection but as time passed it became more then that. I started using my own photographs and digital art to accompany blog posts but lately, I've been falling short when it comes to writing journal entries. I'm excited to see where this project takes me and looking forward to achieving some, if not all, of the goals I have set for my blog.

1. Journaling - This is the area where I need the most help. I would like to plan ahead, post more frequently, and write about a variety of subjects.
   
2. Connecting with others - I would like to increases reader interaction by offering some projects as a way for other readers to interact and promote themselves as well.
3. Add a tutorial section - A spot where I can post photoshop tutorials, offer textures and brushes for download and possibly have a Q&A section.
4. De clutter - This one is pretty much self explanatory... clean up CSS codes, archives, and improve the all over flow of my blog (hmmm... wonder if there is such thing as blog feng shui?).
   

I would love to hear feedback ... and please feel free comment or add any suggestions you might have for me.

Next assignment date: Monday, January 19

Sophisticated Dorkiness is hosting a Blog Improvement Project which I have decided to participate in. The 2009 Blog Improvement Project is a year-long challenge that will consist of twice-monthly activities to improve my blog. Every first and third Monday of the month there will be an activity on her site that will related in some way to making my blog better. I will then spend the next two weeks focusing on that aspect of my blog. Possible topics include goals setting, writing better content, building community with readers, getting more readers, and blog layout and design.

Because this project is a blog building/strengthening exercise, I have decided to post my progress in a separate area from my main blog. The link is in the menu at Slightly Off-Center if you would like to keep track of my progress.

If you wish to participate, you can check all the details out on Kim's blog... Sophisticated Dorkiness.
