Your willing and able blog host reporting for duty!
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about where I want to take this blog. And if I’m being honest, I’ve been thinking a lot about the direction of my life too. I’ve got some major life changes coming up– good ones I think– and I’ve had to put on my big girl pants more than once these past couple of weeks and woman up.
Which leads me to this question… What do you all want from this blog? I need sage advice from my loyal and beautiful readers. I’m by no means a professional blogger and some days I struggle with things like:
- Topics – are there topics (specific or general) you’d like covered in the coming months?
- Types of Posts – DIY, recipes, books, fashion, personal stuff…. have your say about what you like most/least
- Posting Frequency – too many posts, not enough, just right?
- Design – I am planning a blog redesign this summer – so your comments and ideas would be helpful at this point
- Blog Features – what would make your reader experience better?
- Community – Are there features that you’d like added to help connect more? Do you feel connected to me?
- Services and Tools – what could I offer you to help you improve your life?
- What Frustrates You about Love Library? What is Best about it?
- Other Ideas and Feedback – anything goes, big or little.
This list was heavily created from this post on Problogger.
Please leave your answers to one or all questions in the comments. I will leave the survey up indefinitely, but I will offer up the prize of a free book to one lucky, randomly selected commenter on Wednesday, May 1, 2013. The winner can be a previous winner and does not have to be a citizen of the U.S.A.
Please help me improve!
love always,
melanie
I would love to see more DIY posts, specifically how to find, and start the projects. I don’t know why it happens, but every time I go thrift store shopping, I only look at what things are, not what they become. Also, for connection purposes, it might be beneficial to write a few posts about your background. Hope this helps!
Thanks so much for the suggestions! I did write a post about how I thrift available here: .
I really will have to think more about the beginning process of how I find stuff to upcycle. Most of it is really out of necessity!

First of all, I love your picture at the top! It’s awesome!
I always like posts about books and things related to books. The very word “library” was what drew me here in the first place. But I’ve also enjoyed the posts that led up to your wedding, just things you have been going through. Life. I like when people blog about life. Not because I’m nosy, but because it’s always nice to see other people having similar joys and struggles; things that you can identify with. It’s one of the things I love about the “blogosphere.” I have more “friends” out here than I do IRL.
I think you’re doing great. Probably doesn’t help much . . . 🙂
Jeff, I appreciate your comment and your readership. And it is helpful to know that I am on the right track. Sometimes I feel like I’m out here flailing in the ocean of the Internet. Maybe it is just a feeling, though!

Melanie, I got my books! I’m sorry to be so late in thanking you. My life has been very hectic, lately, as work has been, well, hell. I was very pleased to see them, though. I had not heard of John Sayles (although, it seems, I have heard of many of the movies he has been involved with), and really look forward to reading that book. It’s huge! 😀 Thank you so much! I hope you have a great week.
Jeff, no problem! Glad you got it! Hope you have a great week too!
Jeff, no problem! Glad you got it! You have a good week too!
