[...] Another article of interest is this entry from Magpie Girl on Small Blogger Blues. I don’t really have the blues about it, but I am a “small” blogger. To be hones, I read a lot out there, but am reading so quickly I don’t take time to comment. I can’t really call that bad or good. Let’s just call it “What’s happen’in right now.” Anyway, I like entry #8: “Remind yourself that you are writing for an audience of one. Make yourself a sticker that says “I heart authenticity.” [...]

[...] Jen and I are this close to having the small is beautiful button done. I know, it’s been over a month since BlogHer ‘07, but we are mom/artists/community builders types. That is to say, we wear a lot of hats –this makes our work time, well, small. Plus, we haven’t have time to write in an uninterrupted manner since…um… what day did school get out in June?But be not afraid, our children are in school soon and things should progress a bit more quickly.

There definitely are some rewards to writing for a small audience. It’s much more personal.

And I do this why?…

Here is a great list of things to consider for “small bloggers.”
It hits on one of the things I’ve always asked other bloggers who didn’t have a huge amounts of traffic. Why are you blogging? Is it to become rich and famous (you…

Thanks for the boost and encouragement, Rachelle! It’s nice to know someone’s giving a thought to the little guys out there. Go fellow small bloggers, go!

I like these tips. I sometimes feel like there is no point to blogging since I feel no one is reading except the people from my real life that I really wish weren’t reading. However, I didn’t start my blaaahg for attention, I started it because I like to journal and I tend to keep it up when it is online. Maybe I am a bit of an attention whore after all… (Found you via KristyK, I really like your layout).

I really wanted to go to Blogher. It was in Chicago and I could have taken the train from Indiana and had an adventure all by myself, maybe. I was too chicken.

I participated in a blog carnival this week, posted everyday, left my blog addy on Mr. Linky and gone around and visited other blogs and left comments on the ones I enjoyed. I got about 100 hits yesterday and LOTS of comments! 10 comments in ONE day is LOTS to me! LOL!

Off now to say “Hello” to all the other small and proud of it bloggers!

Hi, my name is Moxie-Mom, and…I have a small blog!

(huge applause)

I’ve had a small blog for a few years now. But I always blamed others. Like my father-in-Law who would stalk my blog, even when I would change addresses.
Today, I am here to say that I embrace the small blog. It’s small, it’s beautiful, and it’s all mine.

Unless, of course, you want to stop by…
