Direction

I'm torn. 

I've recently realized that I'm slowly morphing this blog into the review site reminiscent of our hopes in ye olden times. While making our old goal come true isn't something I'm particularly upset about it does narrow the subject matter I can talk about somewhat. No one goes to a review blog to hear some one bitch about his life. This means I need to decide whether I'm going to turn this into a full-on review site for Them Canadian Guys or keep it a blog with a number of more personal pieces. 

To compound the issue I'm worried I could gut my ability to keep posting if it goes official, but it's unlikely to ever expand if it doesn't. See, whenever I run out of topics to ramble about that are relevant to the rest of the world it's a nice fall back to have personal topics available. I can quite easily fill my page-ish-a-day quota if I think about whatever's been happening to me recently and just gripe about it (I.e. This post), but it doesn't blend with the other more official posts very well. Following through on the second point if I don't make this site the official domain of our little group of Internet people, I'll be fighting an uphill battle to ever present an interesting place for potential audience in the future.

The compromise solution I'm working on right now involves making a secondary page for personal blogs and keeping reviews on this main one, but it's not without flaws of it's own. First and foremost it splits up the posts. I'm always trying to post more to make it a firmer habit and to keep this place lively, and dividing the content would ruin the latter goal. Furthermore I'm not certain I'd keep up my current posting pace if I tried to run two blogs. I feel one or the other would die as I give myself an excuse not to have to post from day to day.

It's something I'm going to have to think about more before I make any final decisions. If I could get the others to post more it'd be notably easier to split things up without fear for losing one of the sites. Only one of them would really be my concern. I could demote myself to contributor for this blog rather than sole poster. Still, that's not something I can force. We'll have to see how the vlogging attempts go in the future. Maybe it'll make them more keen to speak their minds on the net.
