April 26 is our AsianCajuns 5th birthday — yahoo! So what better time to shake things up?
If you guys are like us, you are reading fewer blogs and blog posts (we still love them though!) and spending more time on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter. When we do go to our favorite blogs, it’s with less regularity. Instead of checking in daily, we visit less frequently but stick around longer to catch up on posts. Are you guys the same?
Anywhoddles, that got us thinking. We’d like to use our wee corner of the internet here on AsianCajuns to write well-crafted posts once a week — still about whatever strikes our fancy (you know the usual: twin stuffs, a bit of fashion, a good dose of travel and out-and-aboutness). In between posting, we’ll be sticking our link love on Facebook throughout the week, updating our Pinterest boards regularly, and Cath will be instagramming and tweeting away (I needs to get me an iphone!).
We want AsianCajuns here for when you want to sink your teeth into something meatier (more than 140 characters and not just photos of what we’re eating and buying). We’ll keep the snippity snacks on our social media sites and the main meal here.
Thank you guys for coming along with us these past five years: evolving with us and giving us a wonderful community online and in the real worlds. We hope you like these wee tweaks we’re making and continue to enjoy whichever bits of AsianCajuns you choose to visit with us.
xoxox,
Lar (and Cath)
I was so thrilled when Pam told me about your blog. and I’m sad to see you won’t be on here as frequently, but I love the idea of putting more effort into one big post instead of just a few little ones. Sounds like a great direction in which to be heading. Thanks for delivering such consistent, inspiring content!
Thanks for the kind words, Maggie! Hopefully this new format won’t feel like we’re cutting back. If we find that it does, we’ll start posting more frequently. We’re just trying to figure out how we can make AsianCajuns work in this crazy world of so many social media outlets.
I’ve definitely pared down how many blogs I read, and when I do, I tend to binge on a bunch at once, rather than reading every day. Quality over quantity, I guess!
Exactly! I think most blog readers do the same. I know I do!
I’m gonna be reading FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER. Because you gals are awesomepossumbeesknees.
Heehee. The feeling is mutual!
Can’t lie – I’m definitely bummed, but understand. Will look forward to your posts even more!!! And when I decide to get back into social media, I’ll add you guys all over the place 🙂
Come back to social media! 😉
Hopefully you won’t feel too AsianCajuns deprived, but we want you’re feedback as we try out this new format. Thanks for sticking with us – it means so much!
.this makes me a little sad.
No! Not sad! We’re still around and you already follow us on so many outlets that you’ll probably get sick of us 🙂
yeah i guess 😛
p.s. i thought of you girls the other day. there is this store near my apartment that had that streamer garland thing that you ladies make in their window! the stuff you showed me to make via google+. i should take a photo.
I think this could definitely be interesting! I’ll be sticking around, no matter how little or much you ladies post. Y’all are some of my faves 🙂
Thanks Ashley! We love you too!
