I am back on Facebook as of tonight. I caved. I am ashamed a little. Really it’s hard to have a modern online life without it. Much of what I do relies upon it for work and that sort of thing. I need to be more disciplined and not get sucked into the negative stuff there. So if you are on Facebook friend me there at tonyburgess1969 .
Blogging is still my prefered platform for expression and communication with the masses. Blogger til I die!
When a blogger finds blogging no longer fun and decides to depart it is a sad thing. Their posts became part of your experience online and they informed you about them and perhaps a little about you. Sometimes people don’t have time or perhaps they lose their fire for it. I hope I never lose interest in this thing called blogging. So to all the bloggers who have moved on I say farewell and may God bless you down the road.
My blog recently has taken on a more visual look to it. I have posted more pictures and YouTube videos. Compared to other bloggers I am not a very strong writer, although I get by I think. Sometimes you run dry on things to write about so you post other media that can tell your story or to advance your point of view. Posting daily helps keep your audience engaged which is a good thing. However there is a struggle to produce content and that can discourage some from even blogging at all.
Perhaps it’s time to do more writing, WordPress is filled with great writers and maybe I could be that someday. Words are important too you know.
Blogging is more fun than Facebook.
As I said in my previous post we ate Asian food for dinner from our favorite nearby restaurant. In my fortune cookie it said…
Four basic premises of writing: clarity, brevity, simplicity and humanity.
I try to do all of these things but I am not always good at doing them. The advice here is sound and everyone can use it in their blogging or other writing. You could also throw a picture in or two to further tell the story.
I have changed the background of my blog to Queen Blue (CSS Color #436b95). This helps the typeface of my blog to look its best and to be easily read (that’s important in blogging you know). I don’t want to pay for the custom CSS option from WordPress.com so I needed to be creative within the bounds of the free options.
Queen Blue is a good blend of lighter and darker shades. I recommend it if you want a change in how your blog looks without many visibility issues. Check it out.
