Would readers come back to my site if I had a gimmick à la Kim with the Thursday Caption? Kristine with Stuff Portrait Fridays? Britpoppa's (now defunct) semi-weekly celebrity quiz? CityRag smoke-ins? Junk Feud's butts of the week *and* celebs signing autographs? JJ with added posters Jimmy and J.Mo and the semi-daily/weekly Ev comic? ... the list is endless, and I'm just being too lazy to find the other "gimmicks" I see on other blogs. Gimmick might not be the right word. Perhaps recurring theme is nicer wording...
I'm not really a gimmicky kind of girl. I just want to post about my thoughts, put up a few pics when the mood is right, and have a little chat with those of you who stick around. I don't want to feel obligated to a gimmick. I love that all those who have a gimmick are dedicated enough to keep the gimmick going, but as soon as I start feeling responsibility for projects I want to run in the other direction, and I don't want to start hating my blog. So, with that said, no gimmicks, just Poppy. And the kitties. And random ramblings. And cheese. Yay. :)
I'm with Poppy Cede. Who needs a gimmick?
ReplyDeleteI thought of that, too. I just like to keep things random. I agree with you: I don't want it to become too much work. I don't want to feel like I have homework when my blog is due.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the hell out of it for those that do it, though. Cityrag, Junk Feud, Zazzafooky...I'm so talking to YOU right now.
mmm ... cheese! LOL ...
ReplyDeleteI think an anything goes approach is best. That's what I go with. I have a little theme going on with the sidelines etc. but I try to keep what I post pretty random/babble! I just love dogs, that's all!
LA, I love your site. I love the butts and autographs, I love that you keep me informed about celebrities, in particular, MAGGIE! YAY! Love her! Secretary is one of my all-time FAVORITE movies!! OK, glassy fanatic eyes are returning back to normal now.
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone, I appreciate that you like me just the way I am. :)
No gimmick needed, Poppy. I keep coming back to your site because I like it the way it is!
ReplyDeleteBut I agree with LA - "Guaranteed content" rocks!
