To those who are beginning their blogs or new to blogging I salute you for being awesome in joining the blogging community. Here are 3 tips to make blogging fun and to help you post more regularly.
Write short posts. No more than 3 paragraphs with 3-4 sentences each. Make it on something you are interested in or how your day is going. Some folks will do a poem or other type of post. Remember the attention span of most people is short so brevity is important.
Post pictures. Its an easy way to get a post up with visual impact. Add a paragraph supporting what the picture is about and why it means something to you. You can also use pictures in your short posts.
Post videos. You can embed YouTube videos in your posts which can support the overall theme of your blog. It also makes your blog more multimedia which is always fun.
I encourage every blogger to “Keep on Blogging”. Make this journey fun and connect with other bloggers for more ideas as you go along.
I don’t do a lot of reblogging. My blog is about original content from my heart and head. However I will reblog something if it helps tell my story in a way I cannot.
I don’t mind if others reblog my stuff. One exception though is family or personal pictures. All I ask is that those not be reposted. In turn I won’t reblog personal pictures of those I follow. Content control is an important part of blogging. I believe there has to be a line drawn in regards to that. Thank you for your consideration here.
Curl up with a good blog or two. It’s fun to catch up with your favorite bloggers. Also it’s an ideal time to write a couple of posts too. Keep on blogging.
I hope each of you have had a great Christmas day. To those who don’t celebrate I hope you enjoyed your day doing whatever was on your heat.
For me it’s been a time of celebrating with family and enjoying being together. We went to my parents house to celebrate the day by having breakfast, opening gifts and having Christmas dinner. It has been very rainy here which has made things very interesting. I am kind of tired of the weather lately. I am ready for some dry days where you can get out and about.
My friends, thank you for sharing my day and for your feedback. It’s days like this where blogging is quite awesome.
Yep, I am a old guy, 46 to be exact. The stuff I blog on is a wide variety of topics that aren’t always youthful thinking. If you don’t mind posts about current events, pop culture, news and music from before many of you were born then its all good. Everyone is welcome here but know you might have to ask a few questions about this, that and the other thing. Age is just a number, but it still is a thing I think or is it?
To those who are new to my blog I appreciate your time and interest. I post about a lot of different things here. Personal reflections to pop culture, religion, food, current events and community. You will also see my Instagram pix too! I hope you will find something you like and that my blog can inspire you in some way. Keep on blogging my friends.
