Death of a Blog? Nah... Perhaps a New Start

There was a time when my job afforded me lots of dead time in front of a computer screen waiting on customers to enter a store. So I started a blog and blogged a lot. I was into it and was, for a little while, getting 100 hits a day or thereabouts. There was politics (national and denominational), culture/worldviewish stuff I was studying, etc.

Happily, I don't have that job anymore. Now I don't have the time and, frankly, I'm not sure I have anything all that interesting to say. And even if I did, I'm not sure that anyone is here to read it! It seems that blogs in general aren't what they once were. Sure there are some big-time blogs that emerged at the right time with the right content and achieved a wide readership.

So I've thought about killing this thing. But I won't.

Instead, I'm going to be more intentional in making it the Forrest Family Blog. I'll use it to post funny anecdotes and quotes from the kids and that sort of thing. I may put occasional pictures on it, but really I'll utilize Flickr for that since I ponied up the $25/year to do so (and since it is a much better format for photos). Thought about changing the URL to something like ForrestFamily... but for now I already have this one, and there's plenty of family stuff mixed in with the first five years of this blog.

The timing is good... Lydia Grace will likely be here in about 10 days. Here we go...
