So, yes, I gave up blogging.  I do feel, however, that I need to either blog or change the format of the site.
Lately I have been spending more of my time volunteering than I have in recent years.  This has brought me much happiness and I have met a lot of great people.
So what should I do?  Attempt blogging yet again or change the format of the site?  And if I change the format of the site, what do I change it to?
Decisions, decisions.

Beginning in February I’ll be starting a side project.  It’ll be something that I’ll be doing just for fun and will provide more information later.  Right now I need to increase my fan base and there’s no easier way to do that than to give away free stuff, right?
I’m giving away Starbucks gift cards to random followers on DailyBooth, Facebook & Twitter.  All you have to do is follow me on those sites and you’re entered to win.  On Monday January 24, 2011 I’ll select two people from each network and mail them a gift card.
Be sure to follow me on each network to increase your chances to win!!

I may have stopped blogging, but that doesn’t mean that I’ve stopped being creative.  I’m working on a project that I hope will launch next year.  In the meantime, PeggyGurney used the Ask Chimpie feature to ask:
Hey Chimpie, what is your new forum going to be about (the topic)?
Oh, how I wish I could let this little secret out of the bag, but I can’t.  And it’s not really a forum, but it might include one. If this is successful it’s going to be big.  So for right now I have to keep it under wraps.
Thanks for your question Peggy.
Okay, this was fun.  If you want to ask me a question click here – Ask Chimpie.

After several failed attempts to get into blogging, I’ve decided that it’s just not for me and I will be giving up the blog format for the site come the new year.
I’m not a blogger.  I feel like I’m standing at a podium, forcing my words upon you.  That’s not me.  Oh, don’t get me wrong.  I like talking.  Ask my friends.  They can’t shut me up.  But I’d rather engage in discussions, debates, chats.  I enjoy networking and blogs, to me, are not good for that.
I’d rather spend my time on discussion forums.  Online communities.  Someplace where I can be more interactive with my fellow members.
I do want to thank everyone for taking the time to help me tweak all my WordPress settings.  Blogging and WordPress are powerful tools and anyone interested in blogging should give it (WordPress) a try.  You won’t be disappointed.
So where will I focus my …
