I'm still trying to figure this out!

I'm trying to figure out how to 'live' with my my current website and my blog here.

I originally started to blog on my website (www.TheShuttleSmith.com) but got a few comments (off the blog/website) to realize that my current website didn't allow people to leave comments.  I started to wonder if maybe that was an important feature tatters wanted.

So I created a 'true blog' here (google blogger, blogspot.com) bbbbbuuuuttttt  very few people have left comments.

SOOOOOO...... I'm kinda confused as to how to proceed.   From my perspective, I am working in a bubble---my own solitary, lonely, little bubble.  I see that people are visiting my blog, but I don't know if what I am posting is of interest to anyone (I don't get any comments). 

My thoughts are that I may migrate my website to a new hosting service that would allow me to update the 'look' of my website to not be as junkie as it is now.  The address would be the same as it is now.   I think that the new hosting site/content management system will allow me to more seamlessly blog on my actual website.  I will continue to keep and update my website as that is a way for me to deposit my information and disseminate it. 

I'm thinking about keeping this blog site but I may post the same stuff to both this blog and my website.

THOUGHTS!?!??????

  1. I suspect many read and absorb but don't comment. I often read during my quick lunch, time to read and enjoy but less so to comment. I like your blog and ideas!

  2. Hi Karen,
    The way it was displaying on my screen(magazine) wasn't showing comments. When I figured out how to change it, then I found the comment section. Plus I'm still trying to figure out the whole Google thing. I do read and enjoy every post.

    1. I'm STILL trying to figure out the google thing too. I see other blogs organized a certain way and when I try to do that, I realize that Google's approach is limited to certain things. I would guess that the other freebie hosting sites' software have limitations too.

  3. I just found your blog, I like the articles on it and I think you should keep it because Google has a huge amount of people and your exposure here is going to lead people to your web site. I'm going to check out the cross pattern.
    please visit my new blog at. deniseetc.blogspot.com

    1. I think that the cross is not on my website anymore. I only put up one pattern at a time. The snowflake is there right now. Sorry. Thanks for the comment!!
