I normally do not participate in too many blog hop type posts but this one struck me as different. What a great way to reflect on your blog and evaluate where you are going and why.

Pet Blogger Challenge Jan. 10

1. When did you begin your blog?

My first post is dated as March 30, 2010. It really doesn’t seem like its been almost two years since I started to blog!

2. What was your original purpose for starting a blog?

My original purpose for starting this blog was to celebrate and show the world what a beautiful, versatile and wonderful breed we are fortunate to call our own. On the not so obvious side of things I also started this blog to help me get some practical experience before applying to a highly recognized and very competitive public relations program. It worked. 🙂

3. Is your current purpose the same?

Although this blog has definitely evolved over time our focus still remains the same. At its very core Embee Cavaliers is a place to celebrate our beautiful breed. It is a celebration for those working hard to ensure this breeds healthy future. It is a place for education, insight, and feedback. I love what we have evolved into.

4. Do you blog on a schedule or as the spirit moves you?

Blogging on a schedule would never work for me. I blog when I feel like it and when I have time for it. Sometimes that ends up being a few posts during a week. More often than not though my blog posts are a pure reflection of how busy my life is at the time.

5. Are you generating income from your blog?

Generating income from my blog is not my purpose at this time.

6. What do you like most about blogging in general and your blog in particular (bragging is good!)?

I have loved meeting and speaking with Cavalier owners all over the world. Cavalier owners for the most part are very much like our breed. Friendly, caring, and compassionate. I have also loved creating a space that is educational to cavalier owners and future cavalier owners. It is truly my way of giving back to a breed that I care so deeply about.

7. What do you like least?

The internal timer in my head that says I’m overdue for another blog post! (like today)

8. How do you see your blog changing/growing in 2012?

I would like to continue on the path we are on. I want to generate content that serves a purpose. I am not a believer of creating content just to have content. I’d also like to hold some more giveaways, revamp some of my pages and links, and make a commitment to bring my camera to more places and not be afraid to share more of the pictures that I take on this blog.
