the little voting poll thing

So I decided to post this little voting poll thing on the blog to see if I really have any readers.  It's funny.  In many respects, I don't really think that I write for who might be reading, but I am curious to see if anyone actually stops by and reads.  So I put it up for about a month, just to see what happens. 

I am not much into promoting this blog -- I'm not even sure how I would go about doing that, besides throwing the link out there on the occasional facebook post.  I can't help but wonder how certain blogs get so many followers!  It seems like the general theme is to have a general theme.  Maybe I need to focus on one single thing here, if I want to get a big pile of loyal readers.  If I look back though, I kind of do think I have a general theme -- and that theme is basically the average happenings of an average family on an average day.  In my perspective of course.

I mean, maybe I could get a bunch of readers if I just posted recipes, or photo tutorials, or book reviews or something.  But man -- no offense, I think that would be kind of boring.  Or a touch more boring maybe than the random musings of an average mom on an average day.  Maybe not so much boring, but LIMITING.  I guess I could have little off shoot blogs that are on one topic and one topic only.  I think plenty of people do that.  And really, it's nice to know there are sites to go to that you don't have to wade through all of the every day stuff to find that cool recipe on the cornbread you remember seeing.   Or I just stumbled across a site on hand making furniture for the beginner that looked SO GREAT, and easy and cool... it really only had a snippet or two about life mixed in with the furniture talk -- that was nice.

Well, so the point is, if you could kindly just click a yes, no or just passing through it would give me a little idea of who's out there.  If you feel like becoming a follower -- that would be awesome, because I think that's what everyone sort of strives for on the blog world, right?  And if you feel like commenting, please feel free to do that too!  Because I love a comment, even if we don't agree on something -- it's sort of validating.  And last but CERTAINLY LEAST (as my kids say), by all means feel free to forward my link on to any other average moms or dads or families who have lots of average days out there, we might very well have some average experiences in common!

And I think that would be cool.
