Where Do I Go From Here?/Let's Be Friends Blog Hop

I was inspired (or maybe it just made me think more) from a post from my blogging friend Louise @ Talk Nerdy To Me (everyone say "Hi, Louise).  This post made me think or rather question about what (if any) more I can do on/for this blog.

When I first started blogging back in '07, it was JUST starting to take off (at least in my mind). I had and read a few blogs before, but thought they were pointless or useless unless you had kids. Well, that kind of changed after I got married. I blogged (albeit very little) about our life as a newly married couple. Then a few years back, I wanted to blog more about our life as a childless (NOT by choice) couple, so that people can have a little glimpse on what this kind of life is like; and the life isn't all perfect all the time. I even changed our blog name (which I may do again).

Now I feel that I have come to an impasse. My blog followers isn'/aren't growing, which is fine, but I wonder if anyone reads it. I feel that since we don't have kids, don't travel much, and don't have an exciting life, that blogging is a bit of a waste of time (and a boring blog at that).  I love doing the link ups, but they only serve a certain purpose. I don't do any giveaways, and I don't (really) do any reviews, although I have started posting links in/on my posts of the places I have gone, done and stayed. I haven't been featured on anything major (although other bloggers will link back to me if I have nominated them for an award), and I haven't gone to any bloggy conferences. My blog hasn't been featured/nominated for any MAJOR bloggy (such as the Vancouver Mom Blogger Awards), which is totally fine, but I don't feel like my blog is "out there, getting exposed" like I would like, although I do share with FB and (sometimes) Twitter. (which is I why started to blog about our childless life in the first place). And I find that my blog is boring (I just use the BlogSpot/Blogger fonts.There is/are still SO many things I don't know about blogging; how do I do a "button", or even post another bloggers "button" on my page? How do I watermark my photos on my blog? How do I (or should I) get sponsors? How do I go about changing my blog font/style?

I know it's MY blog, and I will blog if I want to, or leave it, but I am wondering if anyone has any ideas or helpful tips? I have considered moving to BlogHer or BlogLovin. Is that hard?

Anyway, those are just my thoughts. I would LOVE it if you had any (nice) ideas, so please leave a comment. And please follow me!!!
