Blogging Love Affair

I have a confession to make, an On and Off blogging affair.. Hubby won't be jealous, right?  My first blog  was born 8 years ago..I started a food blog with blogspot.com; that time it was even more complicated than blogging today as it requires html codes which is a different world for me.   Since I would like to be organized neatly as the page would appear on my blog, I have created loads of blogs according to each category i.e. appetizers, main-course, pasta preparations, etc. etc.  Tagging wasn't popular by then and the only way i found to be organized is to hyperlink each category to the main blog. Blogger gained popularity and there goes the merging stuffs and tagging, so then i have to put all the other blogs together and put all my posts to the main blog and do the tagging.  It was tedious but I'm happy with the result.  Now, blogger gets more and more easier with the new interface.

I'm getting more and more busier as years go by, so I blog from time to time and I came up with different names of my blog as I don't want to mix everything together in just one place,  Hence,  The Kitchen Journal for food, but I noticed that my food blog is becoming a cakeshop,hence Sweet Gourmet was born.   I got crazy with just anything to blog, hence I got the mixed bag of all the things I'd like to write about in The Parking Place.  Now I have linked the related ones as tabs and the rest through tags.

As years go by, the thought of monetizing my blog was at the back of my mind but didnt come to reality coz I am easily distracted with a lot of things i.e. cakes, photography even construction (during the house renovation), gardening and a lot other stuffs (aside from these hobbies) I have to do on top of being a wife, mother, teacher, driver.. etc. I admit, I can not focus on just blogging. or just caking, btw, hubby complains that I have turned the house into a bakery and now I'm forced to stop doing cakes, which I really love to do. Which is why I am back to blogging! :-)  he isn't forcing me to do it though, but why not? and oh, why not earn from it? Now i have loads to ask to others who are professional bloggers out there for pieces of advice what to do.. like is owning a domain necessary? and what field should I touch? food? photography? travel? cakes? I got gazillion of things to write about! ha ha.. and how to earn wisely perhaps?

This is my first post for 2012 on this blog.  Waking up the long rested parking place.. blow the dusts off and take off the cobwebs :-)
