New Pages
Nov 18th
I have added two new pages to my blog.
Contact and Disclosure.
The contact page lists how to email me about the blog. It also states that I am looking for company’s that want me to do reviews and giveaways of their product.
The disclosure page is how this blog handles reviews and advertisements. As many of you already know all my reviews were done on my own with no compensation what so ever nor have I been given anything after the fact for any of those posts. I just wanted it to be there in the event someone does contact me for such a thing. I do not care to make money off my blog but I do love to try new things.
Keep reading my blog, share it with others and hopefully the giveaways will come!
Blog Future
Jun 6th
* I thought about moving my blog to WordPress as they have so many more options. What a royal PITA. I technically made a copy of my blog there but have yet to decide if it will be permanent there. If you have any opinions on Blogger vs. WordPress please share them with me.
* I go back to work full time Monday. I will have less time to blog but rest assured I will still blog. While I wasn’t working I had so much time to visit many places in Pittsburgh. We shall see what type of life I will have. I will miss being at home! If only someone would pay me to blog or work from home.
* I’m considering a private blog. For all my “real” bitching. A few of my blog posts are now empty on here for various reasons. If I do that and you want access let me know as it will not be public.
* I can’t decide if I should keep one blog or not. If I separate my issues (personalities) what will they be? I have many posts about Pittsburgh here. Once I go back to work will I have time to keep up only that theme? Do my recipes belong here? Does my personal shit belong here? It’s hard to determine who all of your blog readers are and what they are interested in reading.
So that’s pretty much where I am at right now. I am cranky today. Well it’s now tomorrow.
My blogging purpose
May 7th
Why do I blog? Why do I bother? Read on and see the poll results.
It started out for no good reason really. I was bored. I have been known to enjoy writing and did rather well in English class in high school, though it had to be things I enjoyed writing about to do well. I used to keep journals and still have some of my past writings though they are best kept hidden for all eternity. If my children ever read one page of some of what I wrote they probably wouldn’t listen to me anymore.
At first I was gonna blog about my passion, the beach. But when all you do is dream about it and don’t experience it but maybe once a year you run out of things to say. I thought well I can blog about cooking and share recipes. I may create recipes and tweak recipes but I don’t have that many to share. I thought it would also be nice to share things that happen with my family for friends and family who can’t be around. That doesn’t always seem interesting to talk about. At first I had 3 separate blogs for all these purposes. When I realized what little content I would have for each I just mushed them all together. I kept thinking I needed a stronger purpose and my title “Beach Girl” just didn’t fit. I then created a poll asking what my readers wanted. Haha I have all of 5 people answer the poll, they are my regular readers that are friends. My blog stats show me other people do read my blog. Some are regular readers while some click on certain topics.
So this poll I created made me realize that it didn’t matter what I wrote about and even if I make those 5 people enjoy reading it I am happy. I allowed people to answer anonymously but I did ask if I could use their comments and will share some of what they said.
Here are some of the reasons people said they read my blog:
It helps me feel closer to you, You make me laugh, Curiosity, occasionally – stalker
I love that you feel closer to me through my blog! I am gonna guess whomever this is knows me in real life so feel free to chitty chat online or call me!
I also asked what they would like to see more of in my blog:
what ever makes YOU happy!!, photographs, things around Pittsburgh, venting
Some comments about my blog:
do you have a spell checker? ;o), its good as is, just be yourself
Haha I did figure out the spell checker feature in the blogger template. I do try to use it more often. When I post from my Ipod though it isn’t that easy. Sometimes my thoughts just keep coming and I can’t stop it to check :)
They all said they find out about my posts when it gets pushed to Facebook.
I have an idea of who my funny commenter was but he/she hasn’t fessed up yet.
When asked why they read my blog the answer was: I got nothing better to do with my time and find it erotic and it full fills my dreams
What they would like to see more of: More about your fantasy of becoming a sea monkey that has a masturbation addiction
What would make them read it more often: offer it in brail
And how they read it: over your shoulder as you are typing
The last comment: I hope my sill ass answers made you laugh or at least smile once now I will go back and do it right
All I have to say to you ghost commenter, I love you! Thank you for making me laugh! 
Thank you to all my friends who took the time to take the poll.
Thank you to all my friends who took the time to take the poll. In the end I did decide to just write about whatever I wanted. People will read or they won’t but I enjoy it. It’s a good outlet for me. It’s icing on the cake if people enjoy it, I make them laugh or whatever.
Feel free to leave comments on my posts or go back and take the poll if you haven’t. Thank you to all my readers!
Changes
Apr 28th
So I had some time to define what I blog about. I blog about my life, things I love and hate and Pittsburgh. Mostly. I decided not to make a name change. I am still beachgirlroxy as no matter what I love the beach, dream about it, want to move near it.
That means the links to my blog will always be the same: http://beachgirlroxy.blogspot.com .
However I changed my banner and blog title to reflect more of what this blog is about.
Bitchin’ in the Burgh.
The banner is a pic of Pittsburgh my daughter took.
Thanks for reading
Why Blog
Jan 4th
My blog will consist of anything relating to my life. It is my online journal or sorts. It may be my therapy in a wierd way. I may vent, you have been warned. I may share stories of things I do or places I visit. I will share recipes and anything else I feel like sharing with people. Pictures are a must when possible. This blog will be all that is Roxy Enjoy!
