In my last post I wrote:

So now I should really look at what I have learned this year and whether it has been worth it to run this blog, but more importantly, why I should keep it going another year. Before writing a post with my conclusions later this week, I would like to take the opportunity to thank all my readers and commentators who have participated and made this year of MeMyselfAndIBlog a joyous one!

That was after realizing I had actually missed the first birthday of this blog. Obviously the MeMyselfAndIBlog is going to be around for another year, seeing that I did pay the domain name again.

Over the course of last week I have been thinking hard about where to go with this blog, whether to continue writing here, what to write about but more importantly why I should keep on writing anyways.

One thing was clear though, things have to change. First half year I have spent a LOT of time reading… some may say I have wasted that time, others may say “cool, nothing wrong with reading, more power to ya!”.

So now it is about time to put the reading I have done and the things I have learned to work. Not halfheartedly but with utter complete focus. Basically what it comes down to, I will have to put on blinders and put all the things I have learned over the past year to work, and work hard.

So what is that going to mean for this blog?

It means I am going to strip it down to it´s bare basics. Straight forward posts. The clutter removed from the side-bar and most “monetization” removed (yes, that means I will cancel the exit traffic on this blog). If ever something shows up in the sidebar promoting something, I will let you know why it is there. 

Another thing is that I won´t be doing any promotion for this blog at all. Maybe I might put the occasional comment on a blog post here and there, but not with the idea in the back of my mind of “creating backlinks to my blog” or “driving traffic” or anything like that.

Yep, I am crazy like that…doing no promotion at all is probably going to be complete blogosphere suicide.

But remember the name of this place?

Me Myself And I Blog

Feel free to keep stopping by to read or subscribe to my RSS, feel free to keep on commenting, but I am going to do a really selfish thing and that is focus on ME.

My Time.

My Dreams.

My Work.

My Future.

What will these changes mean for You?

Well… I really don´t think your world will stop turning or that your life will come to a hold.

You will be able to read at least one post weekly, written by yours truely, with updates on my new ventures and how things really are working out.

You can comment and get some exposure for your website through my commentluv plugin. You can show up in the Comment Champs Top 5 with a link to your site if you make comments that add to the value of the posts, say hi, make me laugh with a funny comment or just let me know how plain selfish I am.

Whatever rocks your boat.

I might also occasionally start sharing what is working out for me.

I might even think of writing a few short downloads that could be useful for you, sort of step-by-step blueprints or whatever you want to call them.

The posts that I will be writing are hopefully going to be so darn helpful, so bloody motivational or just so plain annoying and/or provocative that they will tease you into linking to them.

The biggest change that is that this blog is going to be:

• About productivity – the real thing, not goofing around online
• About challenging myself to reach higher and maybe challenge you
• About showing what works and what doesn´t
• About walking the walk without so much talking the talk
• Maybe even about inspiring you to get to work too.

Yeah…. I guess that will do it for now
