The Blooming Wildflowers Project, which I would not normally have read except that I found what I thought might be an interesting link on SeededBuzz1, talks about the need for a blogging mission statement. I have one, sort of, and it’s on my home page:
Finally, this website contains my blog, It’s All Connected, where you can read what I have to say about, in no particular order, literature and social justice; poetry and sex; translation and masculinity; Jewish identity and teaching; gender and Iran; writing and feminism; and whatever else moves me to write — because it really is, all of it, connected.
I am now beginning to think, though, that I ought to hone it more. That certainly would be the advice I’d give to someone who asked me for it. “Explore more what you mean by connected,” I’d most probably say, and it’s good advice, but these days I am just too tired, too stressed, too busy, too too, to do it. At least The Blooming Wildflowers Project has gotten me thinking about it, though. For now, I’ll have to be satisfied with that.
- And SeededBuzz seems to me to have an interesting idea for how one might bring attention to one’s blog. If you check it out and if you decide to join, please use richnewman as your invite code. I will get credit for it and maybe a little bit of money. ↩
