Something About What Makes A Blogger, Numbers Don’t Tell The Whole Story #wordpressdotcom

11 Comments

keep-calm-and-read-my-blog-39Blogging is a noun and a verb. It is something you do and is something you are. Your number of followers do not determine your value as a blogger because I think the quality of your connections is what matters most. Some bloggers have a large following while others have a few friends and neighbors tagging along. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t have thousands of people visiting daily. A blog that comes from the heart will tell a great story and will bring people along organically. Don’t worry about your stats especially if you are an amateur. It’s good to celebrate milestones of people following but don’t get hung up on that. Every blog has a place in cyberspace.

No two bloggers are exactly alike. Their mission and purpose are determined by the writer and curator. I think individuality matters. Be yourself within your blog and create posts in your own way. Be sure your blog looks alive and tells the reader something about yourself.

As a person who runs a personal blog I am not out to be wildly popular but to share my message with all who will hear it and will connect with me. Being happy with what you have and be proud of your blog.

The one thing I always say is keep on blogging!

Something About Sleep

2 Comments

Sure, I enjoy a full nights rest like the next dork but some nights it just doesn’t happen. My bladder is as old as me and when you have to get up to go to the bathroom/loo it can interrupt your sleep cycle and in some cases you never get back to sleep. There is too much life happening and that can make your brain click on and that is never a good thing when you wanna get some good shut eye. Sleep is vital to ones health and well being so when you don’t get enough of it then there is room for concern there. One thing I don’t like is how lack of sleep effects me late in the day. Falling asleep at work isn’t always a good thing according to most bosses.

Life is something to do when you can’t get to sleep. Fran Lebowitz

I suppose I have too much living to do or something like that.

There’s something about freshening up the old blog to give it more functionality and to make it look more like a website. I chose the Motif theme to show off my posts in a larger format and to give the site a throwback feel. I hope you enjoy it.

Something About A Blog Break

2 Comments

I didn’t post yesterday and It’s cool my blog gets views and visits. Maybe a break every now and then is good for folks to catch up. I am a prolific poster and some days I post 4-6 posts a day. Perhaps that is too much or should it matter to the reader. Interesting things to ponder about best practices for a blogger so that the reader isn’t overwhelmed.

Something About The Way Things Are

4 Comments

I don’t things are horrible or bad in general right now. Some folks are genuinely suffering because of a lack of work or perhaps poor health. Perhaps where they live has seen a down turn. But for the vast majority of us we are doing OK. Could we be doing better, sure but I think being grateful to our creator for what we have is a good thing. People in prior generations had love, family, community and modest possessions that were all they needed.

I look at what I have and I realize I am doing alright. The notion of making a country great doesn’t begin with economic and military advantage, no it begins with love, kindness and harmony. If you are reading this you are doing better than many but being great means sharing with others what you have. Good people don’t buy into negative rhetoric, buy into a vision of a good present and a bright future.

We are indeed better and stronger when everyone is taken care of. It’s a matter of being greater together.

Something About Being At Home After Work

3 Comments

There are days that are harder than others. Tuesdays seem to be like that for me. Getting a handle on things on the job can wear you out. Getting home tonight felt really good and resting this evening has been great. Rest and relaxation are important because if you are going to make it the next day you need plenty of it. Renewal is important. I have a hard time relaxing so I need to intentionally chill out when I get home.
