When the Blog Runs Dry…
I admit it, this blog is old and worn and just plain dry. Rarely anyone comes here to drink anymore because there’s just nothing refreshing in the well…er…blog. I’ve been replenishing this blog for years now. Could it be that it’s run dry? I’ve run dry?
Life’s been pulling me so many different ways this last year or so I’ve hardly had the energy to go about my daily tasks, let alone write my novels AND blog. But I want to get back into a routine of blogging. But what I want more than that is to transform this blog literally… Just don’t have the know how or money to do it, so will it continue to die a slow death while I figure out just what I need to do (and how much $ I need to do it?) I hope not.
I’ve been going back and forth with switching back to blogger from Worpress, but the bottom line is content is king and well, there’s no great content here consistently. I’ve got a great site all set up at Writer…Interrupted ready to relaunch, just stuck in headerless mode for a while. Hope to get that up and running soon. Been saying that for MONTHS now! Oh, the limitations of my lack of knowledge!
Maybe I should post some old posts until I can figure this out. Do you know of an extremely affordable (er…cheap) blog/website designer that can help me start back?

Well, funny you asked.
I’ll FB you
February 1st, 2010 at 11:37 amI wish I could help you w/ this one! My husband does web-mastering and is putting up a site for me, but I’m on my own w/ my blogs. I think the most important thing is consistency, and I’ve yet to be consistent. All my best-laid plans fall apart.

I know what you mean about life pulling in many different directions! As far as a blog designer, I highly recommend Jackie at Memories by Design.

February 1st, 2010 at 5:05 pmHey girl! I hate to hear you say that, but have to admit I have thought that about my own blog a time or two.
I am actually in the process RIGHT NOW of a whole new look/design for Mel’s World. A dear bloggy friend of mine is helping me out and she is phenomenal. She doesn’t do it as her main business, but might be able to work something out with you. I absolutely LOVE her and she is helping me to think of my blog more “simplistically” which is helping me all the way around.
I am thinking of switching from blogger to WordPress, but to be quite honest I am happy with blogger and often wonder what the major difference is anyways. Any thoughts?
Here’s to a NEW you and a NEW day!
Big Hugs,

My friend Jen does blog designs, and is rather good. She’s also probably very affordable. Her blog address is: http://shaemata.blogspot.com/ – all her contact information is on there.

February 2nd, 2010 at 7:04 pmGina, I love the couple at Tekeme Studios (http://www.tekeme.com) who did my website. They are very reasonable and good to work with. I hope you don’t quit blogging! I look forward to reading more from you.
