Well, if all this feedback is anything to go by, I must attempt to follow through more often. bluetinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12796706885029578938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021628122487346239.post-23635621440235493332012-11-29T03:02:38.589-08:002012-11-29T03:02:38.589-08:00Thanks, Petra.

Your daily life, the things you make, the things others make and, once in a while, the why of it all. I haven't written anything on my blog since we finished the rental house but every once in a while I think "I should blog about this." when I've done something I think is interesting. One of these days I'll get back into it but until then I'd like to keep reading your blog. Even if I don't always comment. ;-}SeventhChildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03944809796724018329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021628122487346239.post-60535697983826928762012-11-28T12:59:15.066-08:002012-11-28T12:59:15.066-08:00just keep doing what you enjoy....

I am interested in you, your craft, how you do things, photos of you working, and yes your daily life.

I get an incredible amount of traffic going to my blog from google (people typing in keywords). <br /><br />I can also edit in (as well as edit out) any on-line store for any listing on my blog (can't do that on facebook or twitter). Thus, I don't direct people to my Etsy shop which I may or may not drop at some point (for instance); I direct them to my blog where it tells people all of the venues where they can purchase an item.<br /><br />I get hits on very old posts and they still end up in my on-line stores. <br /><br />I like the idea of "my life as a jewellery maker" kind of blog. People, places and things that inspire you, photos of your recent work, why you are drawn to jewellery, great supply finds, how you got your training, other jewellery artists that get your creative juices flowing, etc. Lisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06266942951190435796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021628122487346239.post-39825631523912416242012-11-27T14:56:19.637-08:002012-11-27T14:56:19.637-08:00I'm kind of in the same place as Diane; I'...I'm kind of in the same place as Diane; I've been putting more effort into facebook lately, and really enjoying it. I like that people comment on my facebook posts and there is more interaction. I can post photos or if I have a funny thought, I can put it there. I do feel that I have to put more thought and time into the blog. I still enjoy that though, because sometimes I have more to say, not that I've done much of that lately!<br /><br />I think you should write whatever is bubbling up in you at the moment. If it's interesting to you, then it will be to others as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11096973688127898453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021628122487346239.post-72802081408139163752012-11-27T10:08:53.803-08:002012-11-27T10:08:53.803-08:00Is that you, mjj?

I have kept a journal since I was eleven, but that does not mean I write every day. I would rather read something you want to say than to slog through something written half-heartedly b/c it was time to write a blog. <br /><br />Make your own rules. <br /><br />Buddah says that it is none of your business what anybody things of you. <br /><br />I write for me. If it makes it to my blog, then great. I don't even know if anyone reads it, but I like to know that what I wrote is there should it be of use to anyone. If I have nothing to share, then nada is fine with me.

And yes, with the photo's included :-)<br />Meanderings, philosophy, what is the meaning of life and such is all good. <br />Frankly, reading about ones jewelry is boring. Everybody does that..<br />More about the people behind the worker, and what they think of life is good for me, and what they are busy with is cool as well, as long as it's cool stuf :-)Heymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05884856119694031727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021628122487346239.post-16779553089559982192012-11-27T08:41:39.087-08:002012-11-27T08:41:39.087-08:00I wonder the same thing all the time Tina.

So many people rely on FB and Google+ to connect anymore and I feel like blogs are going by the wayside but I could be very wrong. That's why I keep trying to write but it's hit and miss most of the time.Diane Cransachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09163924503318866393noreply@blogger.com
