When I fantasize about winning the lottery (which is probably more often than is mentally healthy, but better than putting vodka in my water bottle, right?), one of the things I fantasize about is doing cool things with my blog. I mean, it's not the first thing. I'm not that obsessed. I imagine debt payment, home remodeling and gifts first. But eventually, my mind goes to the blog.
As I discovered quickly when I started this whole staying at home with kids thing, I am not supermom. I have to have something for me. Even if it is writing about staying home with my kids. Anyway, the blogging morphed into writing for a content farm for $$, product reviews for free stuff and money, and putting ads on my site. . .for money. So my first lottery winner/blogger act would be to quit all that stuff.
THEN I would hire a website guru to make my blog all pretty and personalized. Because it was all I could do to set up the blog in the first place. Now I've actually managed to change the theme so that people could find that damn comments (that's why you all haven't been commenting much, right? It's not that half of you are Russians who got here by accident like my stats say. . .right? Right?) but I am still not satisfied.
I do own Wordpress for Dummies. It's just that I've never opened it. I am not technologically gifted. I still don't know how to make a comment and then retweet something on Twitter. So , you know, messing with the code on my blog. . . . .
*shudder*
But I'm really not feeling the purple, either. Just like I didn't feel the 4 other themes I tried today. So I'm looking for suggestions, advice or opinions. Or just random thoughts you're having, so I'll at least know that you can find the comments now.
Thanks.
