I didn’t dawn on me for a while that I was leaving a record of my children’s childhood – and adolescence now – and neither did I realise at first what writing/blogging was doing for me. <br /><br />Writing as a Dad, I’ve come to understand my own Father far better than I did when he was alive. As I say in one of the columns, I’d quite like to go to Heaven, if only to apologise to my Dad – not only for the number of times he was right but also for being such a complete prick as a teenager! <br /><br />Like a couple of other people I can’t now conceive of not blogging on a regular basis – it’s a part of me as much as the way I look is a part of me. Quite what I’ll do when my daughter leaves for uni next year and we only have one at home I don’t know at the moment – theoretically that’s going to radically reduce the amount of material I have. The blog will have to evolve again, but evolve it undoubtedly will. <br /><br />As to working with a brand, I’m not averse to it but nothing will ever compromise the absolute integrity of what I write (unless someone is offering to fly me to the Monaco Grand Prix, in which case disregard this paragraph…)<br />Mark Richardshttp://bestdadicanbe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824547228125638907.post-70752945672747574652012-11-28T11:32:37.710+00:002012-11-28T11:32:37.710+00:00Thank you for the mention and linking to my post -...Thank you for the mention and linking to my post - that was really decent of you.<br /><br />Blogging has changed so much that it's not really blogging anymore. I don't think people actually know 'how to' blog anymore to be honest. There are more blogs about now that focus on making money, advertising etc, and this is a total change to what blogging used to be about. In some respects, I do feel it's a easy way for a stay at home mum to make some money and that's great if you have kids to see to and you can't get out to work. So blogging is whatever you make it. Anything goes on the blog these days.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I think it's changed too much - for all the wrong reasons.<br />CJ xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824547228125638907.post-77689795578071982742012-11-28T10:51:43.625+00:002012-11-28T10:51:43.625+00:00I think we must all be true to ourselves.

I am really aware that my own blog has become predominantly commercial as I work my way through my commitments to PR companies. Sometimes I long to strip it all back and simply 'write' but the direction I have found myself going in, is going so well. It allows me to provide extras for my family while I'm at home. That is a strong motivating force. I still enjoy what I write and keep it as personal as I can. My blog is still about my family life, which was my initial remit, but it is now more about what we do in the name of blogging as we are more and more influenced by what my blog has brought to our family life. I could never have predicted the evolution of my online experience...and I am happy to continue in whatever direction my future evolution dictates. One thing's for sure though, I do genuinely love being a part of this phenomena and I know that whatever happens I will continue to blog for as long as my desire to do so continues. xxx Inside the Wendy Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02070638696121153269noreply@blogger.com
