Guilty! Oh I totally do that. But I think I haven’t completely figured out my blogging identity yet. Though I’ve been blogging for four years it’s just now really becoming a passion. And in a way I’m allowing myself to say…it doesn’t have to stay that way…you can make it better and better and grow. I think it’s best to be consistant and keep my picture on there…so people know they’ve made the right stop. Oh but now…woman!! Now I’m paranoid!! Hee hee, just kiddin! But yeah I don’t do it a lot…maybe just a lot lately until I figure it all out. But I also don’t have a specific theme to my blog so you may not like it.

yeah, I wanted to change my blog header but, that girl with the glasses and cell phone is soo ME in real life {well, I got a new haircut lol} but, I was thinking of maybe doing like a fade into a picture–a real picture-of MOI?!?

I’m all for updating things but changing your blog too often is not a good thing because like you said, you are a brand. That goes the same for content and just the overall feel of your blog, your associations, your comments…it’s all YOUR BRAND

I agree, I don’t like it when blogs change too often.

An improvement every once in a while (like years maybe) is fine.

LOL I’m one of those changers. I’ll admit, it’s sheer boredom for me though.

Once in a while is okay, too much change too often doesn’t seem fair to your readers at all. For us, major change once every 2 years it seems!

I just had my first update. I love my original layout so I stuck with it, and just accentuated it. I don’t like change. I have been searching for like 3 months for a darn blog I liked that I can no longer find. I KNOW it is out there, they probably just changed everything.

I’m on my second blog template. I’ve had my blog for almost 2 years. I think I finally found what works for me. I do have a central “theme” my huladancer, which is a nickname. I will always carry the theme.

It does drive me a bit crazy when people constantly change it.

Also Twitter avatars. I remember a lot of people by their avatar, which is why mine will probably stay a graphic instead of a picture of me.

I have to say that I agree with you. If you make changes they should stay in line with the general essence of you as a brand. I am constantly trying to think of a way to improve, evolve, stand out, etc. But some changes take away rather than add to your content and brand, and too much change is just plain confusing.

I do love your blog and recently found it. I’m putting your button up in my sidebar to share with others

You tell it sister! Honestly a blog that changes all of the time turns me off. In a major way. I have been blogging since last July and I still have the same Write Gal. I have changed the background some but the “gal” which I associate as my brand has remained the same. That’s not to say I might not tweak her colors in the future but when I see that image I think of me. I think it is natural to want change but too much change does turn people like me off. Thanks for writing a great post!

I’ve only been around for 4 months but I’ve changed a lot. Sometimes to make it easier to navigate around the page but sometimes just because I get sick of the color. I’m not to the point where I have a huge following yet but yes, I get antsy to change my blog as well!
