There's nothing more potent than a blogger with a unique voice and who KNOW why they're blogging. When I asked myself this question (early this year) I suddenly cut out lots of crappy posts that were just clogging up my purpose. <br /><br />Having said this, churning out engaging heartfelt creative writing week upon week is tough work. Which has me thinking about broadening my purpose a little now... <br /><br />Great post, Bron. I have missed visiting your blog!

We are surprised about how many people are following our blog now and we love it when total strangers leave us comments, some who we have even bumped into on our trip or we have inspired to do something similar.Lyndonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446580942850574607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7550579703997672879.post-24343192978547759372012-11-12T12:41:02.312+11:002012-11-12T12:41:02.312+11:00Great post and one that we should bookmark and ref...Great post and one that we should bookmark and refer back to when we slide off track (we all do, right?)<br /><br />I started my blog because I fell in love with Western Australia when we arrived four years ago and I wanted to share it with everyone. Then I drifted off track because I thought that nobody wanted to read about Western Australia, so I veered into Travel in general. Now I realise I should have stuck with what I started with, because WA is the grooviest place to live in the whole wide world and people DO want to read about what it's like to live, love, work and travel here.Johanna @The Zigazag Maghttp://www.zigazag.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7550579703997672879.post-54224649756871618302012-11-12T10:19:52.232+11:002012-11-12T10:19:52.232+11:00Oh, you are a total sweetie Bron, thanks for inclu...Oh, you are a total sweetie Bron, thanks for including me! : ) Thanks for all the brilliant links too - so many new to me.<br /><br />I agree wholeheartedly, I think having a sense of purpose and being yourself is where its at. And it doesn't come easy to everybody.<br />Quite honestly it has taken me an eternity to settle into my blog, I had such different grand plans for it to start with (all awkward and not very me). <br />But I like how it's turned out and its a relief not to feel compelled to keep changing it. Now it feels like a comfy slipper. <br /><br />Alisa xAlisa : Ink Caravanhttp://inkcaravan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7550579703997672879.post-9862140407343995902012-11-10T23:39:59.004+11:002012-11-10T23:39:59.004+11:00Interesting.

So, I dont write to please anyone but me and readers. <br />Quality is important. <br />So is keeping in touch. I like that in the blogging community.<br />Oh yes, and knowing that you will read this and not reply.

Sometimes being a very niche blog can get a bit tricky when I really want to join in with things that aren't so in my niche, but I'm learning to integrate the 2. I think it's really important not to lose sight of the fact that a blog is your very own space, and when it all comes down to it, treat it as you wish, just as in life, don't spend time being anyone but yourself!Loreenahttp://www.littleaussietravellers.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7550579703997672879.post-29492022751195206772012-11-07T06:49:44.176+11:002012-11-07T06:49:44.176+11:00Been blogging 18 months, my blog shows you who I a...Been blogging 18 months, my blog shows you who I am on the inside.

I have to admit I blog for nobody but my family. I hope it helps my great grandchildren gain an insight into life in the "olden days". I so wish those who came before me could have opened such a window into their lives. Of course I'm always thrilled that others find anything we do slightly interesting.

Then it turned a little bit and I started to get more serious about 'blogging'. It's funny the posts that get the most activity are the ones where I'm pondering big questions. <br /><br />I thought that now I was living in a different corner of the world that I might get more readers or that it may become more interesting to people. It seems that the opposite has happened, people seemed more interested about my life in Sydney than Dubai! That's fine, I still blog for me and that won't change. I'm not looking to conquer the blogging world. I just like having an outlet and having a few friends.

So...Thanks for including Successful Blogging, Bron. Sounds like you're well qualified to write about this.<br /><br />I love the funny stuff and I think it's important even if your blog topic area is potentially boring (like Internet marketing... yawn) that you still make your content fun and interesting. <br /><br />I started blogging over at Get In the Hot Spot for fun and I try to make that the main purpose of my blogs because if it's not fun for me I'd never keep at it. Also readers and bloggers can never have enough fun in their life:) <br /><br />You're doing a great job of that here - I love the images, headline and lay out.
