I’m a typical blogger, curious to know how much, if anything, blogging will bring to my business – and also curious to know about the types of people who visit me and find what I write useful or interesting enough to come back.
I signed up for Google Analytics and took a look this morning – and you see what I saw. For an undisclosed period of time (so I don’t seem arrogant, boastful or lacking in my traffic), I took a screenshot of my visitor loyalty. I am absolutely curious about the first group – “who are you and why don’t you come back?” But more importantly, I want to hug and sqwish (as translated by my fantabulous lovey doodle) the rest of you. You all are some dedicated people.
I can only surmise that the absence of drama and posts that create friction between people make me “ho-hum”. I’m okay with that. I like my little drama-free corner of the web. It’s happy over here, and most of the time you can find me singing “tralalalalaaaa”, smiling broadly and spreading bird seed in the forest backyard. Birds land on my finger, poo on my pretty dress and though I’m irritated, I merely shake my “no-no” finger at them and kiss them on the head before they fly off.
But I digress.
I do feel like I’m having an identity crisis. Thanks to those blog awards that shall remain nameless and without link (because I’m not a finalist, and neither is anyone I nominated), I have to wonder – how on earth should my blog be classified, then? What am I? Am I such a jumble of mish-mash writings that no one can really tell? Because I’m certainly not like the ones who are finalists in what I think should be my category. Not even a little.
So now I’m leaving it up to you – the 663 (or however many) people who stop by more than once, how would you classify my blog? And to those of you who are just a flash in the pan – well fooey on you. You don’t know what you’re missin’. So there.

I’d say you are a majority of art and design but you also can’t be put in a box. I think I’m that way too. I can’t confine myself to one single topic and just stay there–and stirring up trouble? Not for me, I get my feelings too hurt.
All I know is I love you Leanne, and you inspire me. I wish I had a smidgen of your talent.
I say Art & Design, too. However, I love coming here because I always leave with more info on how to improve my blogging. :clapping:
kailani’s last blog post..How Social Are You?
Me three! I come as often as I can and am in that bottom hugginess that you doodled. But! You are much more than art and design… you are friend, author of literate prose and silliness, calming center, artist, mother, lover of nature and just all around goodness. I wish there were many more of you in this ‘verse of ours and maybe then we would have less strife and hostility… but on second thought… there can only be one of you and that is a good thing too! :thanku: :love:
I agree with what Phoenix says above. :clapping:
I said art and design too.

How could you be nicheless?? ::flower:
Kimberly’s last blog post..Visitors
I said ‘other’ because I think you’re more than a niche.

Art & Design and just general loveliness!

Janet’s last blog post..If you need me?
My vote also went with A&D…but it should have been labeled Art & Design & Fun :yes:
I voted art/design too Leanne ….
your new blog design is enviable as are your artworks…
ps I have featured your blog as my random pick for the 101 Top Artists’ Blogs List today
laketrees’s last blog post..Random Picks and an Award
I agree with the crowd; art and design is your niche. But you also share your life outside of your art, so it’s kind of like Art and Design with a twist of Life. Probably not a category, but that makes you unique!
Geekwif’s last blog post..Mysteries of the Sun
I’d say you’re Art, Design, and a teensy bit Mommy blogger (whatever category that is technically) . . .
Also, you’re entertaining and enjoyable ;-)!
Lindsey’s last blog post..Holidays, Hospitals, and Higher Learning
Art, design and a little personal stuff too. It’s a good mix. I DO like how upbeat you are. And that you answer comments and generally make your readers feel welcome.
I have a hard time trying to figure out where to place my blog too. I’m pretty random with a lean towards photography and while you are kinda random I think you lean towards the arts. 🙂
Thanx for the squishies!
