Blogging…This is the title that doesn’t end, yes it goes on and on my friend…
That’s right. I’m blogging about blogging. I don’t think this is anything new. Most of the blogs that I read regularly have self-aware authors who often comment on the state of their own blogs. How many times I can use the word “blog” or variations thereof before it becomes overwhelming? Let’s find out.
I just finished up an article on blogging content (i.e. what exactly does one blog about), and it got me thinking about the content on my own blog. When I began this blog, I had high hopes of sharing countless articles, links, and thoughts on technology and library-related information. Since then, my focus has shifted from the library community (probably since I do not work in a library on a full-time basis) to life more generally, my other job, and my assorted hobbies [Note: Yes, Claire. I am going to blog about running again]. I just finished recommending that people write what they know when it comes to developing solid blog content. I really believe that this is true if a blogger wants to gain and maintain an audience. Besides, often the posts that have nothing to do with anything (huh?) are the most entertaining. While it is important to consider one’s audience (after all, I do not want to put people to sleep and I would, ideally, like to appeal to wide readership with diverse interests), if I am not interested in the content and/or passionate about what I blog about, then I cannot expect others to feel the same way about my blog. That being said, I do not really expect anyone to feel passionate about my blog. I’ll go for moderately entertained, semi-interested, and quasi content with the current content being offered 
Now, on to the good stuff and back to the lists that I can’t resists (yes, I know that grammatically incorrect):
1. I’m really into the running right now, almost obsessively. Okay, obsessively. I’m currently training for the Forest City Road Races 10k and the Ottawa Race Weekend 10k, both in May. I had THE BEST run on Sunday EVER!!! I broke through a wall and would have been happy to run forever. The run today was good, but not as long, so I did not have the opportunity to see if the same thing would happen. I’m starting to find the right balance of food and water before a run, so we shall see how the training goes from here. After some solid advice from my pal the Renegade Librarian, I iced my knees and am happy to report minimal knee pain.
2. The onset of nice weather makes me want to read more often. I am already picturing a lovely summer spent lounging on my balcony, good book in hand, whilst sipping iced tea.
3. I am now sleepy. It is late, and I would LOVE to continue this list, but I have to be up particularly early tomorrow morning. Trust me, you wouldn’t like me when I’m sleep deprived. I might not turn green, but my personality while on sleep deprivation leaves something to be desired.
G’night! Zzzzzzz
P.S. Just as I went to publish this post, I realized that WordPress has been changing features slightly. *sigh* Now I need to take the time to figure out how to use these new (and I’m sure *very helpful*) features. Also, for those of you who spent hours watching Lamb Chop’s Play Along!
