There are loads of blogs out there and catching up on posts can be impossible. Sometimes the best you can do is to start from today and read forward. There are a lot of great posts you might be missing but there is only so much time in the day. I do my best to keep up but there’s only so much time in the day.
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.
One day I would love one of those spiffy blogger awards you see here on WordPress. A boy can dream right?
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.
If Facebook were be down for a day could you live without it?
My college roommate said on Facebook that its a double whammy today…its tax day and its raining here in east Tennessee. Well not every day can be sunshine, puppies and happiness, although it would be great if it were. Today I am at work, doing good things for myself and for others so I guess there is a silver lining behind the rain clouds. Let us all have the best day possible given the circumstances of life. Have courage and be kind as Cinderella said in the most recent movie of the same name. I like that quote very much.
Love, peace and grace to each of you today.
