It definitely depends upon your purpose...Hi Linda,<br /><br />It definitely depends upon your purpose. I've always recommended that goal recognition helps to guide the proper direction.<br /><br />It also depends upon what energy you want to put out into the universe.<br /><br />There's a "market" for everything, (good and bad)(i.e. hate sites, anti-Obama, violence, drugs, etc.) but that doesn't mean we ought to cater to every whim within it. :-)<br /><br />But, like I mentioned before, I do have a recreational blog too, so I definitely agree that many of us should have multiple ones for varied interests and audiences.<br /><br />Always good to get your viewpoint. Thanks, Linda! Hope the panel discussion went well. :-)Jennifer Brown Banksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-10734746291547188902011-03-20T04:38:43.805-07:002011-03-20T04:38:43.805-07:00Hi Jennifer,

Professionalism is what it is all about if you are blogging for bucks; but if you are blogging for buddies, then I suppose Marcie may have a point. Either way, it seems to be slow going some days.<br />You have rattled my brain with this post.

Sometimes it draws an audience, sometimes it doesn't. If you are just ranting about things that irk you and your audience enjoys it, why change? Obviously, it's something they like and they continue to come back. What's my point? Blog about things you are passionate about and that will attract your audience. It may be a slow process, but it will grow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-4737156004064645872011-03-17T06:25:56.952-07:002011-03-17T06:25:56.952-07:00Samantha,

Or is that I have changed the way in which I search for potential followers?<br /><br />I will finish by once again saying thank you for this "food for thought".Samantha @ SJC Parishttp://sjcparis.wordpress.com/about/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-73890760119691975772011-03-17T05:42:14.734-07:002011-03-17T05:42:14.734-07:00Thanks, Karen.

Especially "you have to serve it up right!" :) <br /><br />I agree with you, we should always be concerned with what our readers think and how they feel. I think I may be doing fine, but someone else looking from the outside, might think I suck..so it does matter.<br /><br />Great post!<br /><br />Take care,<br />EvelynEvelyn Parhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05700933711027929815noreply@blogger.com
