What Should I Do with Blogging Essentials?

When you start a new blog it sometimes feels like you're giving a speech in an auditorium but the only one there is you and maybe a few members of your family. It can be pretty discouraging to a new blogger but you have two choices, either give in or get busy.

I purchased this domain on GoDaddy a few months ago because I really liked the domain name. It came up on an expired domain auction so I scarfed it up. I had just started another blog that was taking up my time but I thought it would be an easy adjustment to write on two blogs. Maybe I didn't think it through, maybe I underestimated how much time is involved in trying to develop even 1 good blog let alone two.

Recognizing that I wasn't prepared to blog in two locations yet I let the domain sit idle for the last few months. I didn't have hardly any readership to speak of although a few stumbles did put me on the map for traffic rather quickly. In any event, the domain has been sitting here waiting for some love for too long.

I have spent the last 2 months getting the other blog up and running and I think...emphasis THINK...that I have found a pretty good rhythm and I should be able to start developing a second blog. I have big plans for my main blog and even bigger plans for this one.

The Future Is Now

If anyone knows me then they will tell you I am a bit of a pessimist although I consider myself a realist. As a realist I understand that the "plan" is the easy part. Any idiot can come up with a plan and I am proof positive of that. It's the execution of the plan that separates those who succeed and those who make excuses.

I put a poll at my other blog to garner input and comments on what I should do with this domain, if you're one of the 4 people that read this blog then take a second and vote and leave me a comment. Right now the poll is favoring what my plan is which is a good thing. I'd hate to take a poll and have it disagree with me.

My intention is to turn this domain into a first class blogging site for newbies. I want to collect some of the best free themes from around the internet along with offer up the ever growing selection of premium themes as well. I would also like to have a plug in repository along with comments and reviews from myself and readers.

There might be 15 Related Post Plug Ins but 10 of them are garbage and give a lot of errors while 2 or 3 of them are the best choice. We can share that right here on site. I have a lot more ideas but I don't want to give it all away nor do I claim that I have everything fully fleshed out right now.

There you have it, a small glimpse into the future of the Blogging Essentials. Take a minute if you will and vote on my poll if for nothing else than to make me feel better and to waste a few more minutes of your time.

Stay Tuned....BIG BIG BIG changes right around the corner.
