This Thing Called Blogging

3 Comments

I think this thing called blogging is a great way to share a thought you have in the moment. For me its a way of chronicling the events of my life. There are times when I have to say something and to get feedback from people outside my head. It’s important to have a creative outlet where your voice can be heard.

All I hope is that I have something people are interested in hearing. My experience with blogging is one where there is something worth posting about if you pay attention. I tend to take a “breaking news” approach to my posts where I want to blog in the moment. Some folks like to accumulate thoughts and ideas and do one big post but for me if I don’t get it out there it will just disappear.

I do appreciate the contemplative approach to many bloggers here. They are thoughtful, deliberate and focused about what they post and it shows. Maybe I can get there one day.

Post Length

2 Comments

I blog several times a day with posts of varying length. Some of my fellow bloggers here on WordPress are incredible writers who can pump out over 1000 words without sweat. My posts are lucky if they reach 200 words or so. You can get your point across in different ways whether it be words, pix, video, etc. However does a longer post get taken more seriously than a shorter one?

I guess I want to keep things brief or perhaps I just run out of things to say. Peoples life experience can influence and inform their blogging so I guess if you have done much you have a lot to say. One thing I can say is that I am a decent writer (who needs help with punctuation) and I am from the school that our attention span is shorter these days so I need to say what I need to say quickly. Not to say a long post can’t keep ones attention. Some folks can write forever on a subject and that inspires me. Writing comes from research, living and self examination and to be a better blogger who can write with authority doing those things can make a difference.

Well, WordPress tells me this post is over 200 words. Amazing.

Being Original

2 Comments

I believe in being the star of my own blog. Being creative is fun and being original is freedom. We need new voices and views of the world. My blog is a outlet for my thoughts and outlook. I can make connections too with people who are of like mind. We need more personal blogs where we can be ourselves.

Make A Bloggers Day

2 Comments

Be the first or among the first to follow a new blogger. It will make their day knowing they are building an audience. Remember the days when you first started blogging and how when someone you had never met before liked a post or followed your blog. Making connections through blogging can be a great way to expand ones horizons.

It’s good to encourage people to keep on blogging and to make this process fun.

Read All The Posts, If You Can!

4 Comments

I am a avid blogger and to me reading them is a part of the two-way process of blogging. Reading every post every blogger makes is impossible. The more people that you follow the harder it is to read everything your fellow blogger posts. You can only read so much at a time. Reading a brief summary is helpful to see what interests you fully. Commenting on things you like is great because it gives good feedback to bloggers you follow. Read and write often its a good practice.
