There's no way you can make your blog appealing to everyone, so you absolutely have to please yourself first and make it the way you want.<br /><br />I do alot of memes, although there have been a couple of weeks when I didn't participate because the topics weren't anything I was interested in or I was busy and couldn't do everything.<br /><br />I'm not big on read-a-thons, but I do love reading challenges and I join and host quite a few of those.<br /><br />All in all, I think everyone should make their blogs whatever they want them to be.Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261873308731564886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057271795590627394.post-49696064784761330812011-05-28T22:08:24.122-04:002011-05-28T22:08:24.122-04:00Michelle, you're right about staying true to y...Michelle, you're right about staying true to yourself in blogging. I want to get to know the blogger's personal take on things. I want to share what I can of their world. Your read-a-thons must be fun. I have an ill partner, though, who needs help with things on a somewhat inconsistent basis.

If it strikes a chord and inspires someone to comment, that's icing on the cake. Expressing my thoughts about what I'm reading or watching is enough for me.JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057271795590627394.post-1120992215669426082011-05-28T12:49:27.030-04:002011-05-28T12:49:27.030-04:00PS I am a blogger with three different blogs next ...PS I am a blogger with three different blogs next time you do your armchair thing and you need someone to interview I am available.Sally A Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07473554556138541784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057271795590627394.post-5705182425684940032011-05-28T12:47:23.450-04:002011-05-28T12:47:23.450-04:00I agree if you are not yourself then you are someo...I agree if you are not yourself then you are someone else :)!

I prefer to do my own thing, but I do participate in a few memes that I enjoy: Mailbox Monday, Tuesday Intros, Waiting on Wednesday and Saturday Snapshots. -- I enjoy these, plus they help me to fill in the days that I usually won't have a book review to post.<br /><br />Do what works for you. I did one read-a-thon and just didn't like committing to a whole day/weekend of reading.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057271795590627394.post-26563596636928411482011-05-28T00:08:06.905-04:002011-05-28T00:08:06.905-04:00I definitely agree.

They get me to tackle books I wouldn't normally challenge myself to read.<br />I am looking forward to summer when I can actually take part in some readathons and catch some sleep.
