The Hall of Awesomeness

Well not really.  I am just in a limbo as to what I want to do next.  Since I started about a year or so ago I had envisioned making in a “business only” site, then it became a “personal development” site.  After that well… it was sort of about problem solving.   Since then I haven’t really followed the golden rule of blogging… stay within the lines of your niche… don’t stray to the left or right… stay still don’t move.  The problem?  I can’t just write about one thing… I am a generalist not a specialist!  I am impressed with the way things of gone and I am happy enough with it.  However, something is missing.  There is no emotional engagement on this website as such and I think the posts have become mechanical.

I had thought of closing down or starting over but I just don’t want to!  The thing is, when you build something up from scratch or start a big project from beginning to end, you really have a hard time leaving it all behind.  So I have been pondering… what do I do?  So I decided to renovate.  I started this site as an experiment and I am going to continue it as an experiment.

So while I decide what I am going to do I will continue to post my usual random trains of thought … or find a ‘niche’.  Perhaps finding a niche works when you can create a very straightforward plan on how to write about what you love… me however… well I like so many different things.  I find it hard to simply ‘build a niche’ and ‘thrash it out’.

Some ideas I have are:

1. Getting a swish template

2. Writing shorter posts more often

3. Integrating a forum (time is a real bastard here… I’ll be honest.  If you want to make a forum that does well… you will have to find time and energy to build it)

4. Integrating more web 2.0 stuffs

5. Adding everything I do (i.e. short stories/fiction, hackademic stuff etc)

If you have any suggestions on renovating this site I would love to hear it.   Anyway I am going to brainstorm ways to improve this site… though I am happy with my progress so far.  Would love any kind of guidance… oh I said that already .
