I've had this blog of a few years now, and the four readers who visit my blog regularly can attest to the fact that I am not that great at keeping it updated. For some reason, I have it in my head that an update should include a photo - and while photos are fun, I don't necessarily NEED them for a blog entry. I read Mug's blog all the time and she has a bunch of entries without photos, and a bunch of entries WITH photos. Also, while my blog has a decent color scheme and an awesome photo at the top (who doesn't love the beach??), it lacks more color, updated pics of my siblings, and let's be honest - it lacks imagination. It's so plain. I LOOOOOOVE to visit the Bachmann blog and cousin Meghan's blog - AND the Baxter blog! SO creative and colorful and... girly! I LOVE it!
So... I think it's time to overhaul my blog. And I'm not just saying the appearance - I'm even going to change the title. I still like Keith Urban and his music, but it's time for a change. (Plus I don't want to get in trouble for using his lyrics without permission, even though I credit him at the end of the phrase.) My blog site is "meloo runs with scissors" so I'm going to go off of that... and as of tomorrow, the title will simply be called "Meloo." Bear with me as I add and subtract photos, websites, and other paraphernalia - and I'll still put a picture of me up so you know you're at the right place. :) And in the future, I will update more often, with or without pictures.
Now, if you will excuse me, I'm going to go eat a piece of my mom's chocolate cake and ponder what changes I will be making in my blog. MMMM...

Interestingly, the "daily photo" concept seemed genius to me when I started it a couple months ago. It got me posting more often...
But I was musing yesterday about what some of the consequences have been... well I'm not sure. Either I'm just posting more than I would have otherwise, or I've become intellectually lazy and no longer flesh out the thoughts that go through my mind for blog posts. I write very little these days...
And you might be onto something... maybe the reason why I feel photo-less blog entries are so blah is that there isn't enough going on with the design of the site to keep it visually interesting.
Bingo!! If my site isn't updated, I'd visit another site... but if my blog was more visually intersting and had more links and cool stuff on it, I'd stick around! :)
I can't wait to see the changes.
Hooray! I love the overhaul! I love the holiday theme as well. We'll have to take lots of Halloween photos to post here.
I love Halloween too! It's for sure one of my favorite holidays ever! And It's just so heartbreaking that I'll miss your cool halloween bash! Last years was the best. And I like your new look too. How did you do it? My blog is so boring and I have no idea how to vamp it up.
LOVE the changes! and LOVE the halloween music.
i'm so in love with fall! what is it about this time of year? now if only it could last a long time and then go straight to spring...
