Make me a better blogger....

I´m serious.

What do you look for when you go to a blog? Is it content? Chit chat? Topics of interest? If I talk about how my day went, do you care? Should I avoid talking about my everyday life and focus on crafts and scrapbooking?

Should I take a class for grammar since I have a gazillion spelling errors? Should I at least use spell check? Cause when I talk in english (and sometimes in spanish) I do make mistakes (not often but I do) no spell check for that one and thats what I try to do here lol.

Do you like the color of my blog? What would you change? Do I have too much stuff on it (blinkies, banners, gadgets etc)? Am I too egocentric for having my sassy pic on my profile? Have you noticed how big my cheeks are?

About comments: What makes you leave a comment? Those of you who only lurk around here, Do you like the blog? Have you ever thought "Man, she is so full of herself"? Do you want me to reply to your comments on the same post or go to your blog and answer there?

Do you like the name of my blog? Should I change it to Pink crafter (I do loooove pink)? Should I go to typepad, wordpress?

Last, thank you for reading me, thank you to those of you who leave me comments and encourage me and say so many nice things, your comments big or small make my day, keep them coming!


2 peas Challenge: Close your eyes and write about what immediately pops in your head.

That was all of the above I was sitting here thinking about just that and decided to write it down.

I believe that you have to answer those questions yourself. Why? Because the first person who has to be confortable with your blog is you! :)

I enjoy visiting your blog, Lida! :) I come to see your projects and read about your adventures - from cars into walls to sweet little kitties. Whatever you do, don't quit! You help feed my addiction. ;) LOL And thanks for visiting my blog & commenting so regularly.

Yes. Although I think I look for a sense of humor or something original in bloggers to stalk. I like people who tell me things they shouldn't. I like new ideas too. Ah heck...I like old ideas too!

If I talk about how my day went, do you care?
Life is funny. Of course I care!

Should I avoid talking about my everyday life and focus on crafts and scrapbooking? Lord no. Then you'll turn into one of those snooty patoootie scrapbloggers and I'll have to leave you annonymous messages of mockery. *giggle*

Should I take a class for grammar since I have a gazillion spelling errors? *shrugging* I think it would be better if you took one of those strippercise classes and wrote about it. *grinning*

Should I at least use spell check? *shrugging* I don't care. I don't ever remember reading a post and thinkin "girl..you can't spell!" although I do wonder if I spelled annonymous right up there.

Do you like the color of my blog? What would you change? Do I have too much stuff on it (blinkies, banners, gadgets etc)?
I wouldn't change anything. Pick what you like. I'm glad your page is high contrast. It makes it easy to read. *smiling*

Am I too egocentric for having my sassy pic on my profile? Have you noticed how big my cheeks are? ROTFLMBO! See? Funny! I would ask something like "can you tell I have no butt?" Its YOUR blog. I like to put a face with a name and a blog. Leave it.

About comments: What makes you leave a comment? Uhm...I'm a random commenter. Sometimes I comment but not about the post. *shrugging* I'm not sure if I can help you here.

Those of you who only lurk around here, Do you like the blog? Have you ever thought "Man, she is so full of herself"?
I think you should be MORE full of yourself! Its your blog. If people don't like the content they should go right their own blog about how they don't like personal blogs that are about people. *giggle*

Do you want me to reply to your comments on the same post or go to your blog and answer there?
You know, as an attention whore, I would much rather you comment on my blog than yours, but that's just me.

Do you like the name of my blog? Should I change it to Pink crafter (I do loooove pink)? *shrugging* I think you should name it Livin' La Vida Lida. *smiling* But I'm told I can't be trusted.

Should I go to typepad, wordpress? Ooooo....if you do, be sure to post a link to it. I think free is good, so I would stick with blogger. I am pretty cheap though. Maybe there are advantages I don't know about.

your comments big or small make my day, keep them coming! Aw! You're welcome!

I thoroughly enjoy your blog too, Lida! I like hearing what you've been up to, what scrapbooking or shopping you're doing, or what you're thinking :) Keep it up!!

Linda said...

I like coming to your blog. I think you should have your blog design/layout how you like it because it is your place...almost like a room in your house but on line. Maybe that sounds crazy.

And I think you should post about what ever you feel like. Don't worry about typos, I'm always posting with a typo or two. It is all good!

I love reading about how other people's day went, so don't change that aspect of your blog! How else will I learn about places that I may never visit, and people I may never meet, if you don't tell me?!

I like the name of your blog - I took it to mean you enjoy all sorts of different crafts, not just scrapping... and don't take away the blinkies or links, how else will I find other cool places to visit?!

Sometimes there is no reason to leave a comment, but asking questions is sometimes a great way to get a response!!

Your blog is supposed to be about you, make it whatever you want it to be!!

Janet said...

Wow...those are GREAT questions that all of us could ask ourselves about our blogs! I enjoy reading blogs in which the blogger is authentic -- a real person with ups and downs, challenges and successes. Your blog is authentic, and I enjoy visiting your bright and colorful space! Janet

I really enjoy reading your blog. I love to hear what you are doing creatively, I want to get to know people and what they are about so I love to hear about everyday things also. This is part of you as a crafter. I don't think you should change a thing unless you are unfortable with something or have gotten tired of something. This is where you are suppose to express yourself and that means in everything or every aspect of life.

Keep doing what you are doing. I love stopping by to see what is going on.

Good Lord.

Yes, no, yes, no ,maybe, hot photo, stay where you are, don't change a thing.

Except, my oldfart eyes hurt reading the white type.

...Just had to gripe about something. LOL

I think you should change your blog name to The Merry Meridan. You know that song from the musical The Music Man? It's called Marian, Madame Librarian. We could change some words around and it would work for you.

winkwinkwinkwink

I love the colors & name of your blog, so definitely don't change those :) Heck, don't change anything! I just love reading about people's days, their life, ups & downs. I love seeing pictures on blogs as well.....can be of anything.
