So, obviously I failed April's NaBloPoMo. Miserably.
This is partially because I feel like I've hit a wall here, and partially because I'm saving my best ammunition for a new, potentially exciting project.
As I mentioned over a year ago, having "just a blog" can be rather difficult to manage in a world of food bloggers, craft bloggers, mommy bloggers, feminist bloggers and wedding bloggers.
Not long after coming to this realization, I tried to become a vegan food blogger. Lo and behold, I had far more followers and networking was much, much easier. Then I started a wedding blog, picked up a handful of brides-to-be, and everything was going swimmingly.
So, what happened? Long story short... terrible work schedules, no time to cook, nothing decent to talk about. I imported the wedlog, started blogging about my daily life... and it was all downhill from there.

Soon, I will be heading back to Wordpress after a year of Blogger. The domain name will stay the same, but the structure will be a little different.
I'm thinking about going magazine-style with a few separate subdomains focusing on different topics. (HumanGirl Eats, HumanGirl Plays, HumanGirl Nests, etc.) That way, if you just want to read about food, you can stick to the Eats feed on your readers and blogrolls... but, if you want to see it all, there will be a feed for that, too.
This should make networking much easier for me, too. When I leave comments or set up feeds on things like FoodBuzz or Offbeat Bride, I'll be able to show only the subdomain that will most interest the audience I'm talking to.

I have had the Blogger or WordPress conversation in my head several times... I even did a stint at LJ when I first started college simply for the community aspect. I like have friends/community readers that I can exchange comments and ideas with... I am not very good at networking I don't think lol. Anyway, overall I stay at Blogger for it's simplicity.
