Is it time for rebranding???
I can no longer be a super blogger
I started Behind the Stall Door when I was breastfeeding and pumping milk at work. Since then, I have been all over the board with my posts, never having a clear and concise idea of what this blog should be to me and my readers. I’ve posted about my battles with PPD/A, attachment parenting, photography, cooking, gardening, homeschooling, homesteading efforts….
What it comes down to is this: I need to decide what it is I want to write about, and stick to only one or two subjects (that are in the same category).
So, my faithful readers – if anyone is still reading this after my hiatus since April – what is it that you have enjoyed reading about the most on this blog?

i really struggle w/ that over at my personal blog. i started it to promote a book i had written a little over two years ago now. i went from carefree bachelor to the father of four in just 13 months thanks to marrying a single mom then quickly conceiving triplets. the consumate bachelor, the one everyone assumed would never have kids suddenly had a shit-ton and it seemed like a good way to dip my toe into waters of writing (which i’d always wanted to do).
but then a funny thing happened. i became this “daddy blogger” out of nowhere. and while i don’t mind being considered as such, i suppose, i never set out to be a “daddy blogger.” i set out to be a writer.
so i’m trying to mix it up, too, yet also need to find a conentration. it’s a journey, this whole blogging thing.

My husband runs a blog geared toward gaming with kids. He has a clear and concise vision of what the blog should be. I could keep the blog just about the kids, but I think people would get pretty bored lol I may need to meditate on the subject a bit more.

Two things come to me:
> One, what is your Passion?
> Two, what are your reasons for Blogging? What are your Goals? What is your Intention?
Good Luck!!

Hi Latifah! My passion – that is the problem, I have too many things I am so passionate about lol I blog to write. I started journaling in high school but blogging just seems like a great electronic form of journaling. I started to help out moms who worked and breastfed, but I don’t know what I am truly good enough at now to help other people with.

Be careful with re-branding. I took that route a few years ago and it cost me dearly. I went from being a well-known blogger that got 1000+ pageviews a day, lots of comments on every post and invitations to everything to, well, what I am now (someone who lives in the past and longs for those glory days lol…kidding…sort of

No glory days for me lol I have a good many page hits on here, but not that many comments. Comments don’t bother much, except to make me wonder if people are really interested in what I am writing about.

I rebranded last year. It came about after a long shift that was taking place on my blog anyway, and I finally just decided I needed to embrace it after a friend told me, “Britt, you haven’t written anything funny in a long time anyway!”

I know I need to do something. I have hit the point where there are so many things to choose from to write about that I become paralyzed when it comes to choosing just one lol

I am not even sure what else I’d write about (besides special needs) but I do morph in my own journey and organ donation awareness…

Hmmm, I am a fan of organized chaos. I write about whatever I want to almost whenever I want to, but I have a bit of a schedule. On Sundays I always do photography. I think no matter what you choose photography should be part of it because it’s got wide appeal. I don’t know at some point I decided that what I’m selling is me and I value diversity so I go with that with a heavy emphasis on humor. I have kids, but the blog is not about my kids most of the time because that would bore me senseless. Anyway, I’m not much help. Go with your gut. That’s it! Write about your gut.
