Awarding Thoughtful Bloggers
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Today I was over at Mark’s blog, Me And My Drum, and I noticed that I had been awarded the Thoughtful Blogger Award, which is for bloggers that think of others and are generally thoughtful. Thank you!
The exact description for the Thoughtful Blogger Award is this:
“For those who answer blog comments, emails, and make their visitors feel at home on their blogs. For the people who take others feelings into consideration before speaking out and who are kind and courteous. Also for all of those bloggers who spend so much of their time helping others bloggers design, improve, and fix their sites. This award is for those generous bloggers who think of others.”
Thank you very much! I try to be, and hope to be, a thoughtful blogger. This award means a lot to me. So now I would like to pass this award along to five bloggers even more deserving than I am!

When you’re a man of action, like I am, you don’t have TIME to be thoughtful.
I barely have time to acknowledge my legions of fans, or eat a stack of pancakes.
Somehow, with the endurance of a hero and the determination of a god, I manage.

Congrats
I hope to make the list someday…although mine has been up for a week (actually two years, but really only a week), and I’m discouraged a bit. I wish I could get some feedback from real bloggers on if I have anything with mine that will be interesting or just fade out. I don’t see any traffic or anything, and maybe I just need to be patient.
I see all these traffic-increase ideas and there are so many it seems overwhelming to tackle them all.

Mike, the only thing I’d see that you might want to change is to choose a few topics and stick with them (ie: movie reviews and other related reviews). You’ve got a lot of different topics, at least from my point of view.

Are you of the opinion that sort of “life in general” oriented sites don’t do much? I mean, I guess have to end up liking you to want to read about your next adventure, or movie review, etc.

Thank you.
I think you have a good blog. The only thing is, like J.D. said, the amount of topics you cover. When people visit your site and see all kinds of different topics, they could get overwhelmed.
I usually visit sites that stick to one topic, because I always know what I’m going to get and I know that the posts will always suit me. When a blog covers so many things, I might like some of things posted about, but not all of them.
However, you do have a great blog! It makes it better that you have everything sorted into categories. If you’re really determined to stick to your blog and have the many topics you do, then do it! Blogs like yours can become big with work, but it would be harder.

See, part of me would just like to stick to me, what I like, what I do best, and see what happens. The problem with thinking too much is that I’ll end up running another boring entertainment site when I really don’t want to, and I’ll just let it die after awhile.
Whereas if I do it about me, I will be more inclined to keep it going.
I have a lot of ideas too…I want to be a writer and have started a book…but I am also thinking of starting short stories, and putting up parts of them once a week..
Anyways…I think I may stick with what I have going, because i’m having fun with it
Thanks guys…I appreciate the discussions.

Mike - if you like what you’re doing, then by all means, stick to it!
I think starting short stories and posting up pieces of a series every week or so would be a great idea. If you get people interested in the story, they’ll start coming every week to see the continuation, and then even after the story is over they’ll probably keep coming back.
And anyway, I promise if you wrote the short stories parts, I would read them!

Thank you for the support
Two things: 1, I added you to my blog roll…and 2, your last few posts aren’t categorized
16. July 2007 at 15:58
1. Thank you so much! I’m flattered.
2. Yes, I know. I always have trouble deciding what category I want them to go under, hehe. I still need to make up my mind and categorize them soon. Thanks for reminding me though, or I would have forgotten to work on that!

Almost any A-list blogger will tell you that if your site doesn’t have an easily-identifiable focus, it’s much harder for it to attract and retain a sizable readership.
“Life in general” sites do well if you’re already famous for something. Otherwise, what makes your site stand out from the other millions of “life in general” sites? Don’t get me wrong, your life could be interesting, but considering how demanding the nature of the internet is on the attention span of the average reader, I’d be surprised if anyone other than friends and relatives read a “life in general” blog more than once.

Thank you so much for putting us on that list. It’s appreciated!
