Having had this blog for a couple of months I've come to realize what it is that I want to do with it. First, I had grand plans of getting a wide readership and eventually making money with the blog. Now I'm come to realize that I do not want that nor would I have the time for that. So, there are few questions I'd like to ask from you regarding the future of this blog. (I'd like to hear your thoughts so, please, reply in the comments or email me.)
I'd like this blog to be a sort of safe haven, where I could write about my life in peace and security and where you could freely comment. So, what do you think
1) English or Finnish? -Writing in English seems sort of preposterous to me and I've noticed I miss Finnish. I speak it every day, but still. And basically all my readers understand Finnish. It's a very small group that's reading this.
2) Public or private? - Now that the blog is public, you can just come here and read. And so can everybody else. And I'm not sure whether I like that. I had in mind to make this private. Those who have a gmail address would receive an invite and would be able to read this after having logged in. Those who don't would need to make one.
3) Any other thoughts?
Please, let me know what you think.

I'm an enthusiastic blog reader. I read many other blogs and I think this is really good. Simple but at the same time shrewd. I like to read your texts in English: that makes them sound (searching the right word...) - urbane, classy, sophisticated, calm?
It would be nice if this were a public blog. And more and more people would find this. Comments are really rewarding to read and I wish them more from other readers.
I think you have skills to write blog for a bigger audience if you just want to. Have you check for example www.rantapallo.fi, where bloggers write about their lives in different countries all around the world? If you were interested you should certainly ask if they were looking for a new fresh blogger! They perhaps also pay some money for texts?
I'm a blog reader too. I started by reading one blog and now there are way too many that I have to check every day for updates.. whoops.
Thanks, Anu, for everything. For all your comments. I was just thinking that since you are the only one who comments, maybe I should change this into private and then others would "dare" to comment as well.
For now, I'm keeping it in English and public. Till further notice that is.
Haha, thanks! Perhaps just because of it there is just one (idiot :D) who comments others don't dare to comment :D
There are no idiots here. Maybe the Internet is still a bit spooky. Dunno.
