Dear Abby Gabs

It occurred to me the other day that, recently, my blog has been all about me.


Okay, well, it's been *mostly* about me from the very beginning.


But I began to wonder what wonderful, entertaining ideas my readers might have wandering around in their brains when they visit Abby Gabs. And, well, that got my own wheels turning. So, I've decided to create a page just for my readers! (Check out the new button, titled "Dear Abby Gabs," on the header above!)

If you have a question, a blog topic, a funny story, or a conversation starter that you'd love to see me tackle here on A.G., now's your chance to jump in with both feet and request an audience with yours truly. 


(I won't make you bow or anything. Curtsy, perhaps, but no bowing.)


A lot of my blog ideas come from conversations I have with family or friends, and I'd love to have a conversation with you too, readers! So don't be shy...check out the tab above and hit me with your funny, controversial, silly, or heart warming ideas. (Donnie Wahlberg is still, and will always be, up for discussion here, folks.)


In short, I invite you, dear readers, to give me your best blog fodder. I know you can do it. Because I have the best readers in the world!

And, as usual, here's the twist you didn't see coming. Today, I'm going to ask YOU a question. (See how that works? Aren't I so clever?) Hopefully, you'll be able to give me some answers. So, here it goes.

"In your opinion, what is missing from Abby Gabs?"

I'm interested in increasing my readership, which hopefully will increase reader input here on the blog. So, from blogging veterans to casual readers--do you have any ideas on ways I can increase my traffic here? (I can't afford a sky writer. Otherwise, I'm wide open for suggestions.) I've considered looking into advertising, but I'm not sure how that will draw readers to Abby Gabs. As with most "small enterprises," most of my readership comes from word of mouth. (Thanks Mom! And Brian! And Dana...and Jenna...and...oh...well....all my friends....). 

How about a line of Abby Gabs merchandise?

Advertisements? Perhaps commercials? An interview with Matt Lauer?

Whatever your ideas, readers, I'm all ears. I want to take over the internet with my wit. With your help, anything is possible. 

Wait, maybe I need to shift my focus. Maybe I should be asking you how to arrange a meeting with Donnie Wahlberg instead. Hmmm...Meh. Maybe next week.
