So, you're ready to create a simpler blog for your mother for her to post her ruminations and rants?

This guest blog post I wrote over a year ago, which explains how my blogs that I designed evolved. My partner took over his (third wave cycling) for his company. You'll find some stuff that he does from mid 2012 onward which I don't agree at all. But it is his blog..

Several comments:

*try adding a simple poll or survey (register via Daddy poll...there you can install the poll as a widget)
*what is the name of the Wordpress theme that was used? (Mine is twenty eleven. They keep on spinning out new theme designs. I don't have time to try on a new design and clean up the blog posts so things look right.)
*From a business perspective, you probably have several topics you might choose to blog? Or more importantly what type of content do you want to put on your blog? Stick to 2-4 simple main topics.
*Keep it visual (for the blog part), with some text. I personally am not attracted to blogs with nothing but text. But that's just me. Outdoor clothing is connected to the...great outdoors where clothing is used. Clothing that gets you to see and experience great outdoors..

*Maybe a section on tips....that you're willing to impart ie. care of tent, your jackets, certain materials.
*Section on outdoor fashion observations --new types of textiles that we don't know but translate in layperson's terms for us.

I gotta go to store now. So later..
