A new look

I have been meaning to add tabs to my blog for a while now so that I could better cross reference and find the things that I was looking for. A fun activity we did, a recipe that was great, a place that we had been that I wanted to recommend to a friend. Unfortunately, since I barely have time to even contribute to the blog, I put off doing anything to it. Not today...today was the day I would ignore it no longer. I added some tabs, added a little "back to school" feel to the background and posted a few pictures. As I was deciding what posts I wanted to pull into tabs, I realized...my blog is blah. So many pictures and no explanations of where we are or why it was taken. Meaningless captions that don't do any justice to describing what we were actually doing when said photo was taken. If nothing else comes in my cross referencing, I have learned that perhaps I should pay more attention to the details. The reality of it happening is slim, as the 'details' take time, which as of next week, will no longer be a luxury. However, the awareness of what I am blogging and how much memory it will actually spark as the years go by has become heightened. The pictures are nice, but I need some meat if I am really going to remember what we were doing in these pictures. With 8+ years of updating this blog under my belt, perhaps it is time to kick it up a notch and start posting some drafts that otherwise would go unpublished....or perhaps...it has been a good run and I shall blog no more. The amount of drafts and unpublished thoughts that I have accumulated over the years have been healing to read, but I still ask myself, if I'm not going to actually publish anything but photos, why blog? Is it just as productive to write unpublished blog posts as published ones? Why do you blog?
