What Would You Like to Read (or Blog) About?

September 24th, 2007 | email this | digg it

The blog has been active now for a little over a year. We’re quite proud of the progress we’ve made. We also know that our blog readers and our message board users are not necessarily mutually exclusive. We have a new batch of writers on board and we’re right on the cusp of the new fall television season. So before we jump right in and overwhelm you television recaps, we’d like to know what you would like to read or blog about.

So please take a moment and fill out our poll below (you can vote for as many options as you’d like). If there’s something specific that you’d like to suggest, feel free to leave a comment. And if you think that you’d like to write for our blog, then drop us a line. We look forward to hearing from you.

I voted Other because I think that the blog should have one subject, whether that is current events or parenting issues or whatever. I think the blog jumps around a bit and needs a central theme.

Had to come back and put my .02 in after this week. The TV blogs are too much, IMO.

I thought it was decided last year that y’all were going to chill on the TV blogs (when someone asked to do LOST). Looks like quite the opposite is happening though. The net is saturated with people who recap TV shows.

There’s a reason that TV recap blogs came in last place in the poll. Since you asked for other’s opinions, I hope you’ll listen to them this time.

Maybe y’all are just running out of other things to blog about.

Um, just about ANYTHING but tv recaps. (As most of the time, if not all of the time, they are shows I have never seen or have no interest in….or just don’t want to get hooked, LOST, Grey’s, etc etc)

southerner-
Yep, agreed, but we’re stuck with them for now because they are the only thing people have really committed to writing about (as you intuited.) Hopefully this will inspire some readers to submit other types of entries for us!

I voted “other” but wanted to specify that I’d like to see book reviews on the blog. I know from the book threads that we have some extremely well-read women on this forum and I’d love to read more than just a line or two about the books everyone is reading.

I’d love to read about travel in this short and sweet format. A good overview of a destination, where to stay, where to eat and who it would appeal to. I don’t want to read a re-live my vacation blog like I see elsewhere. I just want the highlights to know if it would appeal to me or not.

I’ve visited all the driving destinations around me a zillion times. But I don’t know what the rest of the country really has to offer. But I’m sure everyone has their own “go to” weekend spots near their home.
