I’m changing the focus of my blog at http://mikecrowlsscribblepad.blogspot.com/
What focus, you ask? You mean there’s been a focus?
All right, I’ll admit sometimes the focus might have been a bit obscure; that’s the nature of a blog entitled Random Notes, as you might expect. It isn’t surprising to find posts about wrinkle cream reviews and travelling in Asia and all manner of other things in a blog that’s random. However, even though a few of these random element might remain – indeed will remain – I want to do something about the music/arts/movies focus.
This has been all over the place, and there’s been nothing to distinguish the blog from thousands of others (except perhaps, its superior writing!)
From now on there’ll be an increased focus on my own creative work: the articles, reviews and even the blogs I write; the composing I do; the piano-playing I do; the music I play and the movies I watch. Sound egocentric? It isn’t intended to be.
The intention isn’t to plaster the reader with Mike Crowlishness, but to give you a genuine picture of the creative side of my life – a side that’s reasonably extensive, even though I’m by no means a full-time creative person. Like many others in blogworld, I have to work for a living.
Crowlfulness is a niche market: the other Crowls I come across on the Net aren’t focused on creative stuff – usually the Crowls I read about are into football (American version of) or other less arty affairs.
And because no one else has quite the knowledge about the Crowlicity that I do, I can claim to be more informative on this subject than anyone else.
So that’s how it’s going to be – at least until I have another brainstorm and decide to take a different tack. Here goes!

wow, I salute you for keeping to your blog that long! I started a blog late last year and already my blogs are gathering virtual dust! - lol
Keep on going in that direction, if you are writing your blog to earn money as well I think this would be a good idea because it will make certain groups of people who share your interests to keep coming back to your blog.

First, well done Mike for keeping your blog going since 2005, this shows great dedication. I do think blogs which cover a diversity of subjects are by far the most interesting to read, unless you are into something specific and only want to read and write blogs about that subject.
I also discovered authspot from reading your poem there and I think I shall submit to authspot myself.
