Freaky. I am at EXACTLY the same crossroad as you. In fact, I am NOW having that conversation with my husband as to why I blog my heart out and get so few comments. I get hits. Lots of hits, but comments? Barely.

If anyone can tell me what’s wrong with me I’d appreciate that, too.

Now for you: your blog’s look first pulled me in. Your photo shows your pretty face, and you have an intelligent and sweet expression on your face. Your writing is funny and engaging, and I love your photos. The boob thing was HILARIOUS. There’s nothing wrong with what you post at all.

I think people like blogs that are honest, open and also aren’t afraid to post everyday, family photos. I’m holding off posting photos of my children, save from their really early childhood years. Now they’re 11, 13 and 15, so I figure baby and young child photos are okay to post. But have you noticed how many bloggers regularly post pictures of their kids? I’m a little afraid to.

I like hearing about everyday, funny life stories, but I also like hearing about funny memories, or poignant. Posts about existential angst, especially if they have a bit of snark. Snark in general is good.

From what I’ve read of your blog I wouldn’t change a thing. But I understand your dilemma as I’m in the EXACT same one. I feel like I try so hard, but though my hits are high my comments are low. And I don’t get it. If anyone can tell me why, feel free! I’m willing to change.

But happy holidays, in case I don’t “talk” to you again before.

Oh I have so been at this stage too...enough to make you want to throw up your hands and say, what's the use. But still, a spark of creativity will get you moving again, you'll see. Melinda's last blog post..He finally made it...

The woman who is writing an entire month's worth of posts on the crap we're doing for the holidays obviously has no idea. If you find the solution, share it, wouldja? Colleen - Mommy Always Wins's last blog post..Un-Grinching Christmas: Dear Santa...

The one good thing about being boring is that you belong to a group of people that comprise the vast majority. Most people are boring. They just fake like they are not. PotatoChef's last blog post..Potato Ricer

I’ve got a whole post that I want to write on storytelling…I thought of it after another friend of mine made a post similar to this. I think that we all have the same kinds of lives; some of us just see it in story form.

You are never boring though, so shush…no more words.

I wish I had advice for you… I feel the same way a lot of times and it would be so easy to just, NOT do anything sometimes…

My advice?

Write what means something to YOU – when something means something to YOU – and don’t worry about how interesting it is to anyone else.
