what's the secret?

so I've just been wondering... what exactly makes a blog successful? you can see from the counter that it's not exactly what I'm doing. :) is it an overabundance of posting? is it pictures? is it consistency to the "topic"? what about useful advice? is it wit, sarcasm, and humor?

I know that I say I have a quilting blog... but I knew that I wouldn't be sticking to that because I don't quilt as much as I want to. I try to be funny and sarcastic, but I guess maybe I've just been dumbed down a bit out here in the Real World and I'm not as sharp as I used to be. I don't have too much useful information (wow, that makes me sound extremely interesting, doesn't it?). and I certainly can go a long time between posts (I generally blog at work which can make the opportunity to do so few and far between - I've been backposting a lot lately).

so I don't know... thoughts on what makes it worth reading? my inquiring mind wants to know.

temporarily bored :)

I'm hoping that after dinner I can work on a few things... however, I may just pin while 'canterbury's law' and 'new amsterdam' are on. that guy on NA... is yummy. :)
