Refocusing The Levee Breaks
As you know, I’ll shortly be inviting people to become contributors on The Levee Breaks.
Before I do, I want to have a discussion with you all about what The Levee Breaks is and what it should become.
I think of this blog as a great place for political, cultural and religious debate. I’ve previously posted reviews and personal stuff here, but the most fun I’ve had here on The Levee Breaks has been with political discussions.
This blog has been linked to from Nationalist and Unionist weblogs as well as press sources, received incisive comments from visitors and (hopefully) published some opinions that forced people to think outside the box for a change!
I want TLB to continue in this vein. I’d like to see contributers from both sides of Northern Ireland’s political divide, and I’d like to see outsiders/neutral parties. I don’t want to be limited to just Northern Irish discussions either – there’s a big wide world out there and it’s only fair that we talk about wider issues too!
Your Thoughts
What would you like to see from The Levee Breaks in the coming year? What direction should the blog take?
Over to you.
First of all, The Levee Breaks has added greatly to the Blogosphere with its different political perspective so well done and congratulations, Secondly from its inception two years ago TLB created its own forte with the onus on family life. To the best of my knowledge this formula has not been emulated successfully in any other Blog. Thirdly and this is the really bit and the bit fledgling Bloggers don’t get, or most of them don’t get. Blogging is hard work, its time consuming it requires time and effort expended but most of all Blogging requires enthusiasm, in particular, when life gets tough.
In a fast paced ever changing world Blogging has become popular almost mainstream. The pioneers have more or less disappeared, but not those with the ability to recognize change and continual development they have grown large. Not only have they grown – they have thrived and prospered. As with everything else, eaten bread is soon forgotten. So change and development is the “Key” to longevity. However in recognizing that change is the “Key” that statement contains an ironic contradiction. Remaining true to our core philosophy. However TLB twists and weaves, may I respectfully request you remain unique in that you keep the family element. That’s what made TLB, that’s the attraction and that’s why your fellow Bloggers reward TLB with so much respect.
BTW: In case your interested, I have broken through the 1000 visitors per day barrier
