I've been blogging since 2002, I've amassed a good deal of writing but I've done it quietly and off the the side. I haven't been all big in the blog community and I haven't got a whole heap of regular readers. I haven't really cared about that till now, but recently people I know who've been blogging for a much shorter time than me have been all proactive and involved and now I feel like I've somehow failed myself.

I feel like I should have been twittering and I should have had a RSS feed and I shouldn't have been afraid to go to meets, and I feel like I want to be on the 50 best Brum bloggers list. Which I am currently not. I wish I wasn't so afraid of throwing myself into the middle of things but I am; I think people aren't going to like me and are somehow going to judge me for crap, nefarious reasons, which is an outrageous thing to think about other people, because why would they do that to me anymore than I think those sorts of things about them? (Which I don't, just to make that clear.)

So my New Years resolution is to fix up Olulabelle.com, make a whole new site with links and a feed and a regular section where I post. And I'm going to start off posting about jewellery, the baby and general everyday thoughts. It's a bizarre combination I know, but there you go. At least it will be something.
