To All My Connections Through Time, Thank You! #blogging #wordpress
Thanks to everyone past, present and future who has connected to me through blogging. Your friendship, feedback and presence is appreciated. You have all come along in a good time in my blogging life. As I always say keep on blogging and rock on!
Something About Followers
I have nearly 2500 followers on this blog. This is not to brag to but to bring up a larger point in that about 5% of them have regular engagement (commenting and liking). Perhaps it says something about bigger not always being better. Some of my fellow bloggers have 4 times the followers I do and have way more activity. I wonder if its the content or the person that keeps them coming back. In either case you have to offer something to keep people interested in you and what you are writing.
Sure there are case studies about such things but when it comes down to it you have to just be yourself and hope that can be the magic that draws people in. Everyone has their own sauce so to speak and the ingredients are as varied as their are recipes for this social thing.
But there is also the school of thought that one can overthink it and that is never good. Just saying.
Who I Follow In Blogging Terms
I only follow personal bloggers or and select commercial sites here on WordPress.com. I am here to blog about what I’m interested in and to make connections with real live people who share a passion for blogging like I do. I appreciate all who follow me and I celebrate our friendship and connecting through blogging.
Hey, Haven’t I Seen That Before?
When you decide to re-blog your own stuff or take an old post and freshen it up a bit that can be a good thing. An old post can be seen in a new light by new eyes who are just now discovering your blog.
When your creative juices are running low, you can find inspiration from things you have done before. Be careful not to get too repetitive but enjoy the process of introducing your followers to your blogging journey. I would advise doing a short introduction to the post you are re-blogging to set up context and to let folks know this is a golden oldie.
It can be fun to take a look back until new ideas for new posts come along.
