He had us write down what search words we want people to use to find us. I wrote this in the comments section on MNINB:<br />"I realized I've been blogging about writing and blogging, when I really want people to find me for Irish genealogy or Quaker history. This is just the kind of focus I needed."Elizabeth Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616212913975457786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31764495.post-56142741841654354712012-04-18T07:19:10.683-04:002012-04-18T07:19:10.683-04:00Hi, everybody.

I think I was interested in one of your MNINB comments and clicked on your profile, but there's no information (in Blogger). No last name, no photo, no info - makes it hard to connect. All the challenges are a little overwhelming, aren't they? I hope to see you again in one of these venues.<br /><br />Kris, thanks for the comments. Separate blogs or not is exactly what I'm struggling with. I like having everything in one place, especially 3 years of past posts.<br /><br />Susan, it's a lot going on, isn't it? But fun! I think we'll like some of the venues more than others and gravitate to those. I hadn't heard of those authors.Elizabeth Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616212913975457786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31764495.post-67094435147478361412012-04-17T10:11:23.345-04:002012-04-17T10:11:23.345-04:00You asked about favourite themes ..

I like contemporary and historical novels, authors such as Edward Whitmont (Jungian analyst who died a few years ago); Joseph Cambell (a great writer on mythology who incidentally may be a source for you on Ireland:did you know that St Patrick was accredited with driving all the snakes out of Ireland?); good biographies ..Susan Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12041548718544123557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31764495.post-44846378382108319992012-04-17T10:06:35.296-04:002012-04-17T10:06:35.296-04:00Hello Elizabeth, I am also struggling with MNINB l...Hello Elizabeth, I am also struggling with MNINB let alone twitter, FB blogging and checking out others's blogs from which I KNOW I will learn a lot. It reminds me a bit of my resistance to emailing in the 1990's and how I thought I wld never do this - but thank heavens I overcame this (pretty quickly). I like what Kris said about blogging and they will evolve with us. <br />All best wishes,<br />SusanSusan Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12041548718544123557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31764495.post-44923794663745741432012-04-16T23:33:55.071-04:002012-04-16T23:33:55.071-04:00I think blogs by their nature are works in progres...I think blogs by their nature are works in progress that evolve with us. I have a postcard blog which I’ve neglected a bit to work on a new focus. I also have a blog for my writing too.<br />My favorite themes? I’ll have to research that but race cars, dog mushing and humor postcards for my postcard blog. My writing blog is, well, about wonder and pain and liberation. <br />I read blogs differently depending on the subject and depth. Almost exclusively, I visit blogs via Twitter and have several I follow regularily. <br />It seems you are doing a great job mixing your themes. Have you thought of a separate blog for each theme? They might feed off each other. This has the advantage that your readers will know what subject they will be viewing when they visit. <br />Sorry so long winded. Best of luck with the Platform Challenge. <br />Here are links to my blog:<br />http://milkofmoonlight.wordpress.com/2011/12/01/visiting-grandma/<br />http://postcardkris.blogspot.com/2011/11/cold-to-bone.html<br />ToodlesAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05873170883036770384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31764495.post-34775273376766644982012-04-16T20:17:06.490-04:002012-04-16T20:17:06.490-04:00I too am struggling through the Platform Challenge...I too am struggling through the Platform Challenges, also am unclear about my blog "personality," and think I may have messaged you through an earlier challenge.
