U.S. Navy Battleships – USS West Virginia, USS Tennessee and US Arizona at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941
(From Wikipedia) On Sunday morning, December 7, 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service attacked Naval Station Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii, without warning and without a declaration of war, killing 2,403 American non-combatants, and injuring 1,178 others. The attack sank two U.S. Navy battleships and damaged five others. It also damaged three cruisers, three destroyers, and one minelayer. Aircraft losses were 188 destroyed and 159 damaged.
Remembering the events of this day 75 years ago as the United States was attacked and entered World War II. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt called this “a day that will live in infamy” and it was truly a moment that changed the course of history and the war. Remembering the veterans who were lost on this day.
The world of blogging has two unique kingdoms (probably more) where you have recreational bloggers and then professional bloggers. Sometimes your recreational blog turns into your professional blog but most times your recreational blog is a personal one you do for fun and. Both types are about making connections and sharing your ideas and thoughts.
A professional blog is about your livelihood and you have to address it and treat it differently. You are always finding ways to increase your viewership and there is the whole analytics thing. Also there is that building a brand thing where people will think of your site as a destination.
Blogging for fun means just that. Posting whatever you want so that you can express who you are and to connect with a diverse audience of people from around the world. It’s more of a hobby than you are trying to build a brand.
No matter how you blog the hope is that there is some passion and enjoyment behind it. Anyway you do it, I hope everyone keeps on blogging.
I returned to work after a three day weekend and it’s always hard to get back to work after a brief holiday. I got caught up on stuff from Thursday. Zumba is on Mondays so I went to boogie my butt off or something like that. Tonight has been about chilling out and watching a Hallmark Channel Christmas movie. I hope you had a great day. Peace out good people.
It’s good to see bloggers who haven’t posted in awhile showing up with some new stuff. Their presence is always missed. So to all you prodigal bloggers out there, welcome back. Keep on blogging.
For those who have started following in the past few days I welcome you to my corner of the blogging community. Thanks for tagging along for this geeks journey through life and stuff like that. There is a high nerd and dork factor here. Welcome aboard.
