I would also like to start fresh with a new blog. Partly because the URL to this one is caminophotography.blogspot.com which doesn't make any sense. Matt and I named my oh-so-hypothetical photography business "On Deck Photography" that had it's own blog (and still does, just need to tweak it but I haven't had time to do that either!!), so I feel like it's not right. Stupid, I know. But I can't let it go. I'd like the opportunity to write every day or at least 5 days a week.
I found this link in one of the baby blogs that I follow, and I think it's a good concept. Writing every day is unrealistic for me, especially since I like to add at least one picture in every post, but I think I could do 5 days a week.
So what do you think, start over with a new blog? Or try to revamp this one?
Anyone? Bueller?

You have two blogs up, there's no reason to go creating a third. If you do this 30 Blogs thing then you have two venues to write in rather than just one. That variability will either free you up and you'll feel great about being able to switch between, or it'll overwhelm you and you'll need to focus on just one. The hardest part about saying "I'm going to write every day" is, "What the hell am I going to write about EVERY DAY?" So if you have a very specific topic, like my Fitness blog, that will help. Maybe your photo blog. You could do Things I Would Like to Photograph and How I Would Do It. Then it's a blog, a goal list, a wish list, all wrapped into one. And don't put a pre-determined length on it. I'm long-winded, I write and write and write. But a blog can be three, two sentences. And don't finish in three sentences and then think, "Well that's way too short." It's your blog. The teacher isn't going to hand it back, "Mrs. Camino, we both know you can do better than that. Try again."
A blog is a free place, play in it, enjoy it. If it becomes an assignment, a chore, then why are you doing it?
So, to reiterate:
1) Use what you've got
2) Try to find a specific focus
3)Don't stress about length (insert joke about Matt here)
4)Own it, no one is judging your blog but you. So why worry?
5) Write to have fun.
Hope this helps. *secret friends handshake*
