As I have mentioned a few times in the past, I'm participating in a 31-day challenge to improve my blog. Yesterday's challenge was about creating an elevator pitch for your blog. (If you wanna know exactly what that is, read all about it here.) Long story short, it's a tagline, basically. It's supposed to make someone want to read it. I don't think mine is all that catchy - "Just sharing whatever's on my mind" doesn't scream READ ME! But, that's ok. Because, really, that's all I plan/intend to do here. I don't have a higher purpose for this blog. I'm not trying to change the world, leave my mark on the world, or anything else. I started this blog with the intention of having a place where I could let myself out. Say what I want, how I want, when I want. Allow my verbal diarrhea (nice picture, huh? LOL) to have its way. Yes, the blog is evolving a bit - I now also post book reviews, product reviews, and community "events" (such as Friend Makin' Mondays) - but I don't want it to be pegged. I don't want it to be something I feel I have to do. I enjoy this, and I'd like to keep it that way. So, while it's not very engaging, my elevator pitch will have to remain "Just sharing whatever's on my mind" - at least for now. A longer version could be, "Just sharing whatever's on my mind. From rantings and ravings about life in general to book and product reviews, if it's on my mind, this is where it'll be." Not very catchy or creative, but then neither am I! ;-)
Stay tuned for more posts related to the 31 days to a better blog. In fact, I'm hoping to complete today's task soon.

To be honest when I read your headline after the homework assignment I thought it was perfect. He said to make it exactly what the blog is about and I believe your tag line couldn't be more relative and to the point! Kudos. As you can see I haven't been participating much...not because I don't want to...I just haven't had the time to. I'm going to see if I can catch up...if not then I'll do the exercises later when I'm able to. I've liked what I've read so far from him. What do you think about it so far?
Thanks. I've enjoyed what I've read so far - and I've added a few new widgets after reading some of his advice. I am learning a lot and thinking about things a little differently. It's good! :-) Although with being out of town right now, I'm a little behind again.
