Switching Hosts.

Hey guys, i'm thinking about switching hosts again. I just feel like this one isn't giving me what I really want. I want to become a graphic designer and it includes web designing too. I feel like if I want to accomplish something like that, then I need to broaden my blog to more capabilities and not limit myself to working around themes. I want to make my own layouts and themes and not just the logos. Blogger has been such a great help to me in blogging and getting my writing out there and what not but I need a different outlet to express my creativity.

I don't think I will be switching so soon but hopefully I will be able to find a place that will host me and my blog. I also want to add more things to it as well. A recipe place. The Day Zero Project and some other things as well. I feel like blogger is too limited for me to put everything I want down.

I don't know. Maybe i'm just getting too ahead of myself?

What do you guys think?

So this is what i'm thinking....

I'm thinking that after the 30 Day Blog Challenge, I want to do a daily blog thing. Maybe at first it'll start off as a every other day type of thing. I wanna do something like:


Mondays - Recap of the weekend. Nuff said. Just a recap of how my weekend went and everything it entails.
Wednesday - Musical Wednesdays. Where I'm going to have like musical tips and advice. Something that will help people have more musical knowledge.
Friday - Here's the tricky part, I wanna do a Health & Fitness and/or Dating and Relationships blog this day. I don't know which one I should do. I still have a couple of days to think about it.


But that's about it! What do you think? And in between will just be random things about me or reviews or just anything I think is interesting. But I want to keep a schedule that will be fun to do and focus on for those days. And I'm thinking that I want Tuesdays and Thursday to be my active days where I'm not on the computer as much.
