I have mentioned before that Oh2122 is not my first foray in to all things bloggy. I started blogging, um, elsewhere...
I'm still not sure what I want to do with that space, and whether I will be combining the craftyness with the mommyness, but I went back and changed it to private until I figure it all out.
So while I sort through all things BlogHer Boston, riddle me this, readers:
If you're mostly a craft blogger, do you read mommy blogs "for a change"?
If you're mostly a mommy blogger, do you read craft blogs "for a change"?
Does the merging of the two in one place bug you?
Do you prefer the little sidebar that says "find me here too" to keep it separate?

I like them all mixed together. I mostly blog about crafting, and I mostly read crafting blogs but theres something so personal when you can just say, "Hey, see what happened at my house today." On the craft blogs I read, I have saw post about going to the ER, dieting, sick kids, fun trips. It really lets you see the person behide the magic:)
ReplyDeleteReally, do you have time to keep up with 2, or will they merge anyway?
ReplyDeleteI mix the two also:-) The blog is about me and the mommy side of me is...well...me:-) So, I can't seperate them:-)
ReplyDeleteI followed you from Art Bead Scene cos anyone who has visions of copper and lace has to be cool.
ReplyDeleteWell since I am not a mommy I am not sure if I am qualified to reply but I really don't see how you can separate crafts and kids. Making crafts for kids is as cool as teaching them crafts (start those creative addictions early, I say!)
Plus little peeks into folks' lives is fun (like their families, recipes, pets, neighborhoods).
On my craft blog I avoid sex, politics, and religion, but I do add a little non-craft related humour, usually involving cute, fuzzy animals.
I have a second 'art for art's sake' blog that I started for things I felt were too far off the craft topic.
I am brand new to your blog - it was great meeting you at BlogHer Boston! I mentioned I would send you an email about my thoughts on different blogging platforms. Like you, I am still sorting through everything and will be in touch soon!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of combining it all- I definitely think it is important to have a focus, but leaving it somewhat broad helps you define your blog and differentiate yourself.
I like them mixed too, but I mostly look for decorating/crafty ones. When I find a funny "mommy" one, I keep going back. :)
