Hey guys. It’s Sunday here around noon and I just wanted to update you guys on what’s going on at FromBottomUp. There are going to be some new changes here. I’m taking the CSET: English (California Subject Examinations for Teachers) in a couple of weeks, so that means I’ll have less time to produce content on my site because I have to prepare for it.
That was the first thing that I wanted to talk about. The second thing is I’m going to change the design of the site. I’ve had this header for almost a year now and it’s starting to look like milk to me. The layout will also be changed. This means instead of having 10 blog entries, I’m just going to have 1 main one, and then a couple of the other ones below it.
I feel like there’s too much going on here and readers are getting confused. I want to stop worrying about how many readers I get and just focus on what I like to write about.
Finally, about what I’m writing about. I feel like I’ve been not as passionate writing about personal development. What I really wanted to was to write on people and or biographies of people, like interesting facts or little stories about how they have changed other people’s lives. Except I was afraid to change this because people aren’t that interested in reading biographies, so I said no to myself. But I realized that it’s a topic that I want to write about and I thought to myself that if I’m happy with what I’m doing, than that’s probably better than not being completely happy with what I’m doing and to please others.
So yeah, starting tomorrow – March 1st, 2010 – you’ll see different changes. Again, I’m going to have less time to produce content on my site. I have to prepare for the CSET. There will be a site design change, that emphases on mainly content as well as a header design that expresses influential people. Finally, I’m going to be writing on biographies and how it relates to personal development, rather than just personal development itself. This reason was made partly because of my happiness. So yeah, basically that’s it. I just wanted to give you guys a heads up before I made these changes, and I hope you guys will still stick along.

It all sounds good will look forward to changes. With regards to changing concepts of blog … it feels more like you are tweaking what you are already doing but with a new swing which makes it interesting .What I have learnt from my own experience is writing from the heart , like you ve said what makes you happy ……I feel people will pick up on your passion anyway and without doubt it shows in your writings ………..Good luck with everything .
Hi Fatibony, thanks for stopping by. Yeah you’re right I’m just tweaking what I’m already doing, bringing a new swing (I like your choice of word here
) and making it interesting. It’s good that you’ve learned happiness from writing from your heart, as I can also relate to that. I do hope people pick up on my passion as I try to bring value to others with each post that I create. Thanks for your kind words.
I will be looking forward to the changes…..
Of course, I will stick along
Thank you Raj.
I, for one, LOVE biographies, so I’ll be looking forward to that. After your exam, of course.
Thanks for your support Dot.
