Where I Am Currently

My wife and I talk about our blogs sometimes, about what we aim to achieve and who we are trying to entertain. Kim runs a mom blog and blogs about nothing but being a mom and I think it’s working out pretty well for her. If I limited myself to one topic for every blog I could only imagine how quickly I would run out of quality blogs. Especially with this challenge of putting out a new blog every day in November. Of course, with Kim raising Annie, every day is an adventure of some sort and there is never a shortage of fresh material.

So if you haven’t guessed, I’ve moved all of my guitar-oriented blogs to http://5th-fret.blogspot.com/ and I think it’s going well. The site hits are running at about even but I’m putting forth an effort to get it out there more. I don’t really know what I aim to achieve with it. I’m not looking for sponsors because it’s a free blog to run. There’s no need of money. There IS a need of time. There just isn’t enough time in the day to work, play with Annie, spend time with Kim, and focus enough energy to both 5th Fret and this blog.

So what do I hope will come from 5th Fret. I have no clue. I’m just doing it for fun. I’m playing, I guess. I have always wanted to write for a living, especially for a guitar publication, but the more I read them the less I want that. It seems so… not guitar related. I guess I could start my own, but the costs would be pretty high and honestly, it would be much more easily accomplished on the net. So I suppose that 5th Fret is my magazine and maybe it will grow. Maybe one day guitar companies will send me or my contributing writers stuff to review (I’d be up for thatJ).

And what about this blog? What do I aim to achieve with this? Nothing more than to entertain you, the reader, and to rant and rave in my own space. I appreciate you reading this and wanted to let you know what the stats are right now. I’m a pretty practical person and numbers impress me and I wanted to thank you by showing you exactly what you’ve done. This blog has been visited over 1,000 times from various cities and countries in the world, some that are a real shock to me. Thank you so much for visiting and reading. I hope you keep coming back for more and enjoy it.
