:: A Change would do You Good. Maybe. ::

Remember my post about the 9 Core Values of Blogging? Ever since I discovered that website, I became a semi-regular reader at a few other blogs around the blogosphere (cool word huh?). Before that I stayed within my little inner circle of bloggers that you see at my links area. I never thought that reading about the lives of people I never met would be interesting but I've bookmarked a couple of blogs that I check back on a couple of times a week.

What's interesting about these blogs is that they all seem to have a common theme to them. For example, there are a lot of people who like to write about dating; both observation and journals of their own exploits. I found a few about life in Miami Beach, which was surprising (literate types are hard to come by in this city). I haven't followed those too closely since I've been here long enough that I already have a pretty good idea about what that's like.

Even the ones where it's simply a journal of their lives, they all seem to have a set theme to them (they follow a consistent Brand Strategy; for you ad people out there). On the other hand, I'll be the first to admit that I randomly jump from one topic to another. It never bothered before and it doesn't now but I wonder if maybe this blog might get better if I focused it somewhat. I haven't decided on what just yet but I haven't really given it too much thought just yet.

Anothing thing is that because I've been frequenting other blogs, those bloggers have, in turn started reading about me and I still sometimes wonder how I feel about complete strangers reading about my life. Especially since lately, I think some of my post have been quite personal.

What do you guys think? Is this a good direction to go to? Is there anything in particular you guys want to read about? Or is it fine as it is?
