Rediscovering chenpn.comI am planning a major overhaul of chenpn.com in the next few months — yeah, it will take me *that* long because I know next-to-nothing about site redesign and what-nots. I don’t know what I’ll do to my site at the moment because I haven’t really looked into it, but I reckon there will be a few changes in the layout of the blog theme, probably the sidebars as well to remove (or reduce) the cluttered (or informative, from another perspective, heh) stuff. There might be changes in the header image as well though I’ve had that changed a couple of times but only a couple of you realized it, so maybe I should make a more drastic change so that you’ll start noticing them, heh :D

But before I get to the core of the site overhaul, I need your help, my faithful readers and visitors, in defining a couple of things, and one of which is my blog goals (yeah, you read that right). You see, I started blogging in October 2005 and at that time, I wanted my blog to serve as a “newsletter” where family and friends checked me out. I had wanted to send out less mass emails and just tell them to “go read my blog”. But of course that didn’t *really* materialize because halfway through, I realized I didn’t want my family and friends to read my blog.

So, to help me redefine my blog goals, I need to ask you a couple of lot of questions. And your feedback will subsequently assist me in determining where chenpn.com should be heading in the next couple of years. So yeah, this is one HUGE task!

Now, the million-dollar question — Why do you keep coming back to chenpn.com? Is it because of the content, or is it because of the pretty header image (gulps)? Is it because I pinged some of my posts on Project Petaling Street? What makes you bookmark chenpn.com? What makes you subscribe to its feeds? And what makes you make a few clicks to come to the site and leave a comment?

So would you please be kind enough to tell me why you kept coming back to read chenpn.com? And if you’re reading this from your feedreader, would you please click through to tell me about it? Your feedback is greatly appreciated..
