02.13.14 Time to take a poll – please participate!!!

Hi everyone!

I have a good number of followers to the blog and a lot who check it out through Facebook.  At this point I’ve written over 150 blog posts and want to take a poll now so I  know what ya’ll do like and what you don’t like.

Please send me an email to rosalyn@selu.edu with your comments, likes and dislikes.  Here are some questions to guide you in your comments.

• I include a lot of pictures in most posts.  Do you like or dislike that?  Should they be smaller or larger pictures or are they just the right size now? Should I decrease or increase the number of pictures?

• I write often and I find that when I don’t write often my posts are very long because I’m trying to catch up.  Would you prefer that I write less often long posts or more often shorter posts or is how I do it now fine with you?

• I write mostly about our travels but from time to time I write about topics important to me that are not travel related.  Do you like the travel posts or the other posts the most or do you like the balance I have now?

• I write like I talk which is not the most professional way to write but it’s what I know.  Do you think I should professionalize my writing or is it okay like it is?

• What topics would you like me to write about or are you interested in something in my life (on the road or off) that you’d like to know about?

• We’ve found that the cost for RV life has exceeded our expectations.  We have been making ends meet most of the time with help from the savings, which are quickly dwindling.  We think that adding a DONATE button (through PayPal or via check) to our blog might help us keep the blog and our travels afloat.  Whether you would or could donate, what do you think about the idea of us doing that?

• This is not one that your answers will change but I’m curious about it.  Does my proclaiming my Christian beliefs bother you or does it make you more likely to read my blog?

• Do you think I need to give more details about the RV parks we stay in? Some bloggers grade the parks they stay in, would you like me to do that? I’ve been writing about the ones I like and not writing about the ones I didn’t care for (and the second category is very small in number) so do you think that would be the best way to keep writing about RV parks?

• Would you like to see some posts about the maintenance, repair and customizations that we’ve (I should say Roy has) done on the RV?  Roy would be the one sharing this information with me typing it up so I’m hoping your answers and possible encouragement in this regard would give him the boost he needs to do this or stop me from bugging him to do so!!

• I write about our travels, our lives, RV related things and RV parks.  Should I write more about any category than I am now?

• What has been your least favorite blog post and any reasons you feel that way?  What has been your most favorite blog post and any reason you feel that way?

• I add graphics I find on the internet to some of my blog posts if I think they communicate my message or my thoughts in a graphical way.  Do you like or dislike them?

If I’ve missed asking a question that you might want to comment on please feel free to tell me what you think.  I thrive on your comments to blog posts and they are lost of times what keeps me going.  Please respond to this post and please comment on anything I write about in the future.

Ya’ll come back now, ya’ hear!
