If you’ve been a follower of my blog for longer than a year, you’ve probably noticed a bit more “routine” to it. In the past, I kind of wrote about whatever was on my mind and there was no real format to it. I could write about my kids one day, music the next and some silly movie the day after that. Now, I have forced myself into more of a schedule. I wanted to know your thoughts on it.
Understand that if the mood hits me and I have something I want to blog about, I will still do it, maybe even on a day I have already posted something. The “schedule” gives me a bit of more preparation and an opportunity to feature some things in a different way. By doing this, I realize that the newer features (Music of My Life, Movie Music Monday, Tune Tuesday, Turntable Talk) are music heavy. I hope that there is enough variety to those features to be enjoyable.
Outside of music, there are my posts about books or photos. With the books I read, if I find one that I really enjoyed or think my blogger friends might enjoy, I will post a review or recommendation. I have had a few books that weren’t worth talking about. The audio feature in my car has really helped me to enjoy more reading. I get some good feedback from the Friday Photo Flashback. It is fun for me to look back at those old pictures and hope to find some fun ones in the weeks ahead.
Naturally, if I have some news to share, an opinion about something, a problem I am sorting through, or just need to write to clear my head, I will continue to do that. I like knowing what I am going to write about and the schedule has allowed me to plan something without spending a lot of time trying to find something. It also helps me to write daily.
So by saying all of that, I turn to you, my follower. Are there things you like/dislike? Is there something you’d like to see more/less of? I’d love to figure out a way to incorporate some blog cross promotions like I have done in the past. Guest bloggers or interviews with another blogger, etc… What do you think?
I ask because I figure you are the one who comes to this site and reads what I write. I want to continue to present things that you find interesting and at the same time write about things that are important to me (as well as document things for my family and kids to enjoy in the future). Please feel free to let me know your thoughts either in the comments or by email: nostalgicitalian@yahoo.com
I do appreciate you following this site and thank you for doing so.

You know me I’m all about the music so I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like those the best. You have an adorable family so it’s great to see those posts as well. You’re current photos are a bright spot and your archive is pretty impressive as well.

You answered it yourself- you like having a schedule & knowing approximately what you’re writing about in advance. As long as it doesn’t get to be a grind or unwanted chore to you, keep doing what you’re doing. By the way, might be ok to review even the stinker books you come across to perhaps let us know what to steer clear of.

I love your mix of themes, and know that a routine helps to keep you on posting track, so keep doing what you’re doing, in my opinion. until if feels like work, then make whatever changes you need –
