Thanks so much for this series… I’ve really wanting to be doing a “better” job blogging, and I wasn’t feeling the blog love. You’ve really hit the nail on the head for me, regarding finding focus. Thank you, thank you!

Finding a blog focus really is tough — and so is finding a title, once you find that focus. My blog was an outgrowth of my Web site, which was originally posted to connect with my weekly newspaper column readers and to help sell copies of my column collection. Now that I am not writing that Sunday column for the paper, my blog now serves as a place to run weekly essays and connect with students in my writing workshops. I guess you can say my focused “morphed” — and I am finally finding my niche as a blogger for people who love to write.

@pelf:

If your personal blog is about “pelf the person”, the “pelf” is your blog’s focus. This isn’t rocket science. Your blog focus can be you, your hobby, your favorite cat, your blogging voice, your blogging style, the topics you cover, whatever it is that comes into focus on your blog.

Imagine looking at your blog with an out of focus camera lens. Then you sharpen the image into focus. What do readers see?

What they see is what they expect from your blog. If you are meeting those expectations, and they are returning for more, that’s your blog’s focus.

Now, Lorelle, does that mean that I have “found my blog focus”? It’s true that I enjoy raising and spreading awareness on issues that need our attention and all that.. That was why Giving Hands was born in the first place.

But I can’t seem to find a focus for my personal blog. If I could describe it (my personal blog), I’d like it to be more personal, more “me”.. In fact, I’ve been trying to bring that out, though I’m not very sure whether it shows..
