Let us know a little about your blog? How long have you been blogging?
I have been blogging since 2004, but have restructured my blog to have a tighter focus within the past year or so. Now, it’s focused on craft business topics.

Why did you get started blogging?
Blogging, for me, was a fun novelty as a writer. The potential to have so many readers looking at my words, on the Internet, forever, was appealing to me. I figured out that not that many readers were reading it, because it was a personal blog and had no focus, which is why I changed it. Now, I’m blogging as a platform to help others learn about owning and running a small business, and to help others get a some publicity.

What challenges have you faced so far with your blog?
The weird, buggy formatting of Blogger is annoying me lately. I have an appointment with my web guy who is going to help me move the blog to WordPress, during the last week of March.

Anything else you would like us to know?
Leave comments! If you read something you like, and have something to say, leave that blogger a comment! It’s frustrating to think that folks are reading, but we don’t know if folks got anything out of it. Let us know.
