I have recently been thinking (*gasp*) a lot about this blog and where it’s going, and whether I can get more out of it.  The basic idea behind all this mental high-jumping has been to validate the time I spend blogging, as opposed to doing something productive.  I did look into the possibility of putting ads in so that I might earn money from blogging, but realistically this blog is too diverse and doesn’t have a wide enough audience for that to work.  However, a look at the visitor stats for my business web site showed a solution which might just be of benefit in a whole load of ways.

As I expect most of you will know, I’m a web designer, running my own freelance web design business from home.  This service is mainly directed at churches and Christian organisations, that being my mission at the moment – to equip and serve the Christian community by providing web sites at affordable costs without sacrificing quality.  So far business has been fairly slow, with only a handful of clients and many moments of frustration having nothing to do and no money coming in.  A look at the visitor statistics for my business web site showed a possible cause – hardly anyone even knows about the site!
