I’ve been writing this blog for over two years and I noticed recently that the topics I’m writing about have changed slightly and I’m interested in your thoughts about the future direction. Please feel free to let me know your thoughts in the comments, but I’ve also created a poll below and in the sidebar to make it easy; you can select up to 5 responses.
[poll id=”2“]
I started this blog after using Live Journal for a year and realising I wanted to practice my writing in a way I didn’t think I could on LiveJournal. The current strap line Revelations along the way to a simpler, happier and more successful life shows my intentions when I started this blog and the majority of posts were related to productivity.
The most obvious change in the last year has been the unfortunate reduction in the number of posts each month. However, the general topic has changed from productivity to identifying and achieving goals, although I haven’t been completely ignoring productivity, particularly with the introduction of AutoFocus. I don’t know if this is due to the widening of my thoughts or if it is an impact of being off work and the focus will naturally shift back when I return to work in a few months.
Of course, a blog is about its readers as well as its author. And although the number of subscribers has continued to increase the number of comments has decreased (apart from some that I suspect are really spam). Plus the number of pageviews on the site have decreased; in fact it appears I peaked in February 2008!
I didn’t want to limit the options in the survey to just my thoughts, so I’ve identified the options by looking through my most popular posts:

I would really appreciate any feedback you provide to help me improve my blog, although I have to admit I’m a little nervous that with the recent interaction on the site that when the poll closes there won’t be any votes!
