Funny because you see this all the time amongst other circle of bloggers--seems like most posts are meme or link up type posts! But don't forget that traffic and audience aren't always the same thing...and honestly I think audience takes more work than just boosting your traffic?<br /><br />I like the random style that you have.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-34357948876434201562011-08-09T22:04:04.234-05:002011-08-09T22:04:04.234-05:00You can never talk to much about the kids or have ...You can never talk to much about the kids or have too many pictures of the Princess (or the Bug or the Pirate)!

What attracted me to this blog was that you posted about your life. I come to your blog because I've become interested in you and your family. You have become a blogland friend.<br /><br />This is your blog; you do what you want with it. But, guess I'm going to ask you, "Why do you want more readers here?"Packrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986387347283221427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-64236587406707871712011-08-08T13:21:16.024-05:002011-08-08T13:21:16.024-05:00I do only what I am physically capable of doing an...I do only what I am physically capable of doing and refuse to do anything that isn't fun to me. So if I skip a Sunday Salon because I am out living life, then so be it. I've learned to be a bit more lax in that area. <br /><br />I like your random stuff, even though I know you feel as if you need more structure.Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926060806244061354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-31036129632068552702011-08-08T13:12:23.521-05:002011-08-08T13:12:23.521-05:00I find that link ups increase traffic more than an...I find that link ups increase traffic more than anything else.<br /><br />I would suggest NOT tying yourself down to more than a few-five posts per week. <br /><br />I personally love when someone writes more than just the typical review...and have attempted some of that myself. I also love children's books, and like hearing recommendations, too.Annette W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02498639468291720406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-87404658929561385192011-08-08T10:42:47.352-05:002011-08-08T10:42:47.352-05:00With three small children, I'm in awe that you...With three small children, I'm in awe that you have time to blog at all. I should probably sit down and make some goals, too, but who has time for all of that?bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.com
