Doo-dads and extras, why can't I make my blog pretty?

Among other things on my list of to-do's, I want to make my blog look pretty. I just do not have the time or the brain power to do it yet. I have a Spanish presentation to finish. My son's room needs to be done. I have to call the dr. & dentist for my daughter. I have vocabulary lists to type up for my 8th grade French class. I have to go school.

On top of all that, I am neglecting lots of other things that need to be done. Don't ask. My poor husband also needs some attention & who can get the dog to stop barking at me? So please accept my blog as is for now. It is pretty enough for me. I know I do not have any cute pics or advertisements adorning the sides yet. I think it looks good as is. Look ma, no spelling errors!

Blog bog

O.k., o.k. nobody reads my blog. I feel like I am in a blog bog. What is the next step? How do I get people out there to read about my so-called life? Do I advertise? Do I create a link? I could put up daily pics of myself to entice you each day. It would be what does this mom look like today? Can you tell if she has showered or not? Plus why the pony tail again? This woman is close to 40, can't she do her hair??

I tried yesterday to add a scroll bar. Let's just say it is a work in progress. Hubby, where are you? I need someone who can do something with a computer other than bang on the keys like me.

So what is it going to take to create an audience? Will they ever comment if they do read it? Should I add pretty photos like I see in Soule Mama's http://www.soulemama.com/blog?
Should I tell you where the freebies are on the net like Motherload-the mom advice does?

Or should I try to convince you to be frugal like the Frugal Upstate Blog?
