As you might know from having read my post about our potentially questionable choice of wedding venue, “C-NOR” (Chris Norton) and I got married a few weeks back. (Yay! Oh, and, btw for my loyal readers: I decided to stick with my last name. So, all that neurosis over punctuation was totally worth it.)
So now I live in Iowa, and not only am I out of the Forgotonia region proper, but I’m actually in something of a metropolitan area now. (They have bookstores here! And coffee shops! Giddiness abounds!)
So should I keep a blog about life in the “rural Midwest”? I’m not in a rural area anymore. But I was for more than 30 years, and I consider my having grown up on a farm and in a small town to be a defining factor of who I am.
Should I keep the name and just blog about whatever I want to, (with a clickable explanation at the top that says “about the name”)? Or, if change it altogether and create a new URL/address/place for you to bookmark, will I lose you because I already went from Blogger to WordPress (and sometimes debate going back to ye olde Blogger stomping grounds)?
With so many good blogs out there to read, not to mention websites and newspapers and magazines and all the other things competing for our attention, what will make it worth your time to keep coming back? Why should I keep up a blog at all?
I guess the answer will be that if I feel like I have something to say, I will try to get myself to just say it, and hopefully it will be entertaining or valuable to you, too.

Keep keep keep. Just sayin.
Ditto to what others have said. KEEP!
