Towards a Better Blog

After blogging for about two years I have decided to do a Blog Triage Course with Cynthia Morris and Alyson Stanfield in the hope that I can inject some freshness and excitement into my blog.
Today is the first day of the course and my assignment is to describe the people I would like to visit my blog and what I hope to get from blogging.
I started writing this in sentence form but it seemed to be getting out of hand (rambly and boring ....everything I don't want my blog to be) so here are the lists:

People I would like to visit my blog.

Friends
Other Artists not only visual but from other disciplines.
Curators
Museum and Gallery Directors
Collectors
Arts Writers
Those interested in Contemporary Art
Those who share my love of gardening, and life in general.
All age groups.
All nationalities, races, religions.
I would really like comments and the chance for dialogue with others in the blogosphere.

What I hope to achieve with my blog.

A record of my day to day arts practice and the joys of life.
A platform for my work which might lead to other opportunities for collaborating with other artists, exhibiting and marketing my work.
Links, dialogue and friendships with other artists.
Becoming part of an international community.
Maintaing links already established and informing those interested of what's happening in my life.
Entertaining and amusing visitors, sharing my amusement and observations.
A minimum of navel gazing.
I would like to express my opinions more freely. Going into print is often terrifying.
