What should I do with this blog?

Dear Visitor,

Thank you so much for visiting my website. I honestly and sincerely appreciate your time.

I have been doing a lot of thinking about this site and ways to improve it. When I created it, I was really looking forward to the Choose My Adventure aspect of it – excited to do random, fun, and unusual things. Unfortunately, right now it does not seem to be working as well as I had hoped.

Here is what I am going to do about it:

• Make suggesting ideas easier
• Recognize people who suggest ideas
• Collect feedback on ways to improve the site
• Build relationships with other bloggers

I have started to question whether or not the random video blog is a good idea. I really like the idea of using video to document the adventures you send me on, but I am neither Ze Frank, nor Rocketboom. I do not think I should try to re-create what these vlogs already do.

My goal for this site is to create an interactive adventure travel video blog – go where people tell me to, do what they suggest. I hope to meet a community of interested readers who have fun with the site. I also hope for the blog to eventually become a resource for people who are embarking on their own adventures.

I have complete confidence that once August arrives many people will be keen on sending me around to different places. The question I have right now is “what I should do for the six months until then (other than finish university, ha ha)?” I am currently leaning towards researching and becoming an expert on backpacking and adventure travel, blogging about my findings during the week, and doing Choose My Adventure stuff on weekends. People need a reason to come to this site and I am not confident that reading about my life is good enough.

However, what I think is not an island unto itself. Tell me what you think! Your opinion is what really matters. What do you suggest I do? Please email me, or comment on this post. I would really, really appreciate it.

Cheers,

Jeremy David
