Just a Girl Looking For Her Niche

I changed my blog design last weekend. I received a few replies on Twitter (thx to all) and one in particular has me stumped.

bryanzmijewski @lisarosendahl Nice, simple layout. I suggest a one sentence summary of you and why I should read your blog under your photo. Sell readers!

Great point! I quickly set out to summarize me and why you should read my blog in one line. What seemed so simple is turning out to be very difficult and I guess this is a reflection of where I am right now.

My blog space is in need of a refresh. The title, and focus, was feeling restrictive to me and I started looking for more. Not sure what more was, I sought out a blog review and based on this review, I made formatting and titling changes. If you are looking to do the same, you can find some great tips on web design to get you started right here from Scribbizy.

I then began thinking about the purpose of the blog, what I wanted to gain from it, and what would provide value to others. I enjoy blogging. I enjoy human resources, supervising, learning, and sharing what I learn with others. I enjoy seeing the perspectives of others. I enjoy writing and am intrigued by words. So, I decided to go with words this time and sought out a "wordy" template.  This new template is a little closer to where I think I want to go but it's still not quite there yet.

I am not sure where to take the space and I that's ok. I will know it when I see it. So, why do I tell you this? For one it was on my mind and for two, to let you know that there may be changes in this space as I play and try different things out.

Bryan, I owe you (and me) a line. Until then, I guess I am just a girl looking for her niche!

I think when it comes to design it is good to re-invent yourself once in a while. Making constant tweaks to your over all design is good. Plus it is fun to see how changes to your layout change in how your readers view your blog.

You know, I love playing with design and templates and am almost never happy. The only thing I like about my site is the picture I took of the Big Mac. You did a WONDERFUL job with your site. I love it. ;)
