2009 Blogelutions

Corny I know, but rather than set myself up for failure with some half-hearted resolutions, I decided to make a few blog-related goals for ’09. I only came up with a couple at first, but y’all know how I get…it turned into nine...

~ Create 2 more blogs
I’ve been working on this so it shouldn’t be hard to complete.

~ Reach out/connect with a variety of bloggers

The nature of the blogosphere is conducive to the six degrees of separation, so I’d like to spread my wings even further.

~ Take a few minutes to add all of my favorite blogs to Google reader
RSS is great and all but having every post in one place will cut the time it takes for my daily reads in half.

~ Reach out to new bloggers

If Sane & Single hadn't commented on my second post I would have quit. It helped to know someone actually read that silly post, I really appreciated that.

~ Spread more link/comment love

~ Collab with other bloggers on issues that matter

~ Invite a guest blogger quarterly


~ Redesign! Redesign! Redesign!


~ Write more about issues I’m passionate about

~ Determine what I’m passionate about…just kidding!


I guess this is enough to accomplish by the end of the year. Keep me accountable, fam!

26 points of view:

  1. I would love to be a guest blogger...Maybe because I love your blog....

    And from someone with 5 blogs, it's not hard but it is time consuming!!! I find myself working almost 2-3hours with updates and that's why "Circus" gets updated every week only! That why my thoughts are ready and I can plot out the fuckery!!!!:)

    Good luck CG, sounds like you have a little work to do to obtain your goals, but they are definately obtainable!

    I've been thinking of starting a new blog also, if I do t will be invite only, but you will be on my list of followers for sure!

    Hope your having a good weekend.

    By the way, is that email that I used to show the love a few months ago still up, do you still use it? I noticed a while back that you don't have your email on the home page anymore.

  6. Resolutions have a way of making a liar outta me, so I just make vows to myself that I can hopefully follow. Good luck is fulfilling each & every one of yours, tho.


    BTW: HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    Make it a sublime 2009!


    Snatch JOY!

    What’s shakin’, Kween? Happy New Year to ya! Give it a shot, one or two are really enough to start out with, I got a little carried away. I’m not sure what happened with the comment section, Blogger has a mind of it’s own sometimes…sorry :(.

    Thanks AJ! I’m still laughing about the “Did You Know” list.

  21. I think the guest blogger idea is really good,
