A Crossroads...

What should I do with this blog?

Whether you are a regular reader who still stops back now and again and/or has me on a feed reader or you found me through a google search, I'd like your input, please!

This is the situation: DH has left the active duty Army, and I've been blogging away elsewhere about my life as a mother and products for the family.

We've been house hunting, which, even in this soft market, is incredibly difficult in New York on a civil servant's salary.

I've been trying to raise awareness about congenital heart defects and hopefully also some money...donate now for a chance to win cool prizes!

At any rate, it is becoming more and more difficult to blog from the military spouse standpoint.

So, I have a few options:

1. Delete the blog. I don't like this one because there are some posts up here that are still useful to people and I don't want the address taken over by spammers. It has a high Page Rank and could be a likely target.

2. Give the address to another military spouse and back-up the posts to another address for posterity (but this would make it more difficult for people to find).

3. Have guest blog posts, a military spouse (or just military) round-up, a carnival, "Ask Molly" and maybe some other random fun once a week.

I'm leaning towards #3 because the blog would still have its archives, would still be useful to the community, and would give new military bloggers a chance to grab a high value link and maybe some more of an audience.

PLEASE give me your thoughts!

I already get tons of questions that I just answer via e-mail, so that part would be easy. Would you be interested in guest blogging? Would you enjoy a carnival? A link round-up?

Let me know!!!

Money for Military Blog

So I was tagged by Money for Military and it took me a little while to respond because (A) I am busy trying to make money ;) but more so to raise my baby; and (B) the name of the blog title seemed spammy to me.

However, I decided to check it out and he actually is a real person, with original content, involving actual and helpful financial advice for troops, military family members, and others.

He's got a lot of information about USAA funds and some great financial tips and advice for soldiers and others.

Use the search function to find what you want and hopefully in the future he'll add some labels or "top posts" designations to make the site a little easier to navigate...because there is some useful information on there.

I'll respond to the tagging later when I have a chance...
