Having just looked at how I can use my blog stats to grow my readership, I have just read a timely reminder from Michele Martin that blogging, for me anyway, is not about becoming famous (although that would be very nice!) but about adding value to your own life and those who read your blog. Michele's advice on blogging for learning is:- blog to add value for yourself
- think about the process, not the finished product
- do not fixate on getting a huge audience but rather concentrate on developing quality relationships with readers
- don't be afraid to make mistakes

At several points in the original challenge, many of us felt the way you're feeling. In fact, I vividly recall feeling like I was losing my way in where I wanted to go with my blog. But ultimately the exercises did help me get clearer about what I wanted to be and do with my blog, so they were worth it. I'm glad that my post on blogging for learning helped you refine your thinking--I do think that it's a distinctly different animal!
I agree, Michele.
