Have you noticed that I haven't been posting much on here for the last year or so??? I used to LOVE blogging and then one day I just loved it a little less. Sometimes I think it might just be because I am so busy with work that I put personally blogging on the back burner. Then I got to the point where the only posts I have really consistently done are my fitness posts at the end of each week in the program.
So I have been trying to think of what the problem is. Should I keep blogging or should I maybe just stop all together? I have that thought, and then I remember just how much I loved it before. I want that back. Plus I love the community on here, So now I am trying to think of ways to make my little spot on the inter webs make me happy again. The first thing I think of doing is a REDESIGN. Go figure right??? Lol. Well every time I try to think if a new design for myself I just kind of get stuck, Then one day I was talking to someone on twitter and it hit me... I know what's wrong with me when it comesto my blog. I feel like I have outgrown it. I am and will always be Momma Bear, but I am thinking it is time to maybe change the name of my blog to something that is more me. Then I am also thinking of switching platforms. But not to WordPress. I am thinking about going over to squarespace. I have started a free trial and have just played around with it a bit and I am kind of loving it.
But here is my thing... I hate to lose the followers I do have because it will be an all new blog with an all new URL on an all new platform. So this is an idea I am playing with. I will see if I can design the blog the way that I want on that platform, and will switch if I can. But if not I'll be sticking around here and changing the URL and design.
What do we all think? Have you ever outgrown your own blog?









i know the feeling.. I normally just change my blog around & such & hope that inspires me a bit more. I know I will still follow you! Love you
ReplyDeleteI went through the same thing. I decided to change my blog name and my platform. I'm so glad I did!
ReplyDeleteHappy to see you're feeling better and am loving following your fitness progress! Yes, I've had times where I feel like I've outgrown my blog or simply don't have the time to keep up with it all, but I come back time and time again and just decide to write about what makes me happy. My kids? Fine. New shirt? Fine. Fitness & nutrition? Great. So I say, tweak it if you want, make the changes you want - even if you do move platforms, but don't stop blogging! We'd miss you too much!
