Posting A Blog, Reading A Blog A Bit Slow

I have found the new blog posting system seems to be slower for me than before. I am running a Chromebook with decent specs but when viewing posts in the reader it seems a bit sluggish. I like the appearance and colors of the new front end but somehow it just seems to drag. This post is being written on the older post system which works great. I embrace change but sometimes you need to think about how change will impact others.

About My Instagram Photos On My Blog

I use a service called IFTTT to add my Instagram photos to my blog. My reason for doing so is to make it easier to post a quick pic to my blog. The wildly popular photo sharing platform does some cool things to pictures and I want to bring that content to my blog. It is also another way to connect to you my blogging community. I don’t always like uploading pictures via the WordPress app and Instagram is much easier for a quick photoblog. Some folks prefer to keep them separate and that’s cool but for me I like bringing the two together. I wish Instagram would work natively without a 3rd party on WordPress.

Thanks to each of you who follow me on all my platforms. I appreciate your friendships and how you tell your stories of who you are and what you enjoy doing.

Welcome aboard newbies

It is good to have you following along. Thanks for connecting.

Working Hard For Your Approval

We all try to impress people whether we admit it or not. Life sometimes is about trying to make people like us or to show them we are worthy of attention. There does come a time in life when we stop trying to impress people and just try to do what is right by ones self. People want to be liked and loved ya know but at what cost? I think self esteem is an issue that everyone struggles with and we have to market ourselves to others for their approval. What do you think?

Rambling About My Blogging Philosophy, In Short

My blogging philosophy is to pay attention to the world around you and inspiration will strike. I also do a lot of life streaming where I post about things that are going on at the moment. There are a few things I do as a routine when posting such as Music Mondays, Tunes Tuesdays, Throwback Thursday and Flashback Fridays that sort of thing. I will schedule some posts ahead of time if there is a theme I want to explore and to create some continuity. Blogging to me is an organic activity that needs to flow and breathe as life goes on and as the situations of life arise. Of course to keep a blog alive you have to keep on blogging.
