Like you, I find my About page to be the most popular page read by new visitors. I believe it takes time for a blog or a website to settle in and find its voice regardless of any defined vision, and like travel, it’s an enjoyable part of the journey.

And I totally relate to the newborn-like excitement you describe. Our website is just as new

Totally blown away by your blog! The word “blog” falls short of what you’ve created here. I will read your suggested readings, but will also be enjoying and absorbing what you’ve got HERE. — Tammie Dooley

Thanks, Karen. I can totally identify. And I find that without a clear focus, I often sit at my keyboard and think “Okay, I’m going to write a great blog post on…
and then have difficulty identifying my focus. We’re finding it much easier to write now that we’re beginning to narrow our focus a bit. Thanks for swinging by, we dig your site!

Good post, guys!

When you first start to blog, you often don’t have a clear focus yourself as to who you are and what you want to blog about. But as you go on, the focus starts to narrow as you begin to understand keywords and how search engines work and what travelers want to know that you can help them with.

My blog began as a fun way to learn online web site building. And, as with my site (http://www.snapshotjourneys.com ), so too has my travel blog evolved and matured.
