I'm back. Again.
I actually thought a lot about my blog during the last three months as I struggled for the time and motivation to post. I would like for it to be more of a true expression of me and my life. Despite my lack of consistency, I don't want to shut it down, this blog represents some significant periods of my life and I will stubbornly continue to 'be a blogger', sporadically if need be.
Is the art of blogging dying anyway? I feel like a lot of the bloggers have either got sponsors or given up, choosing to share their lives via social media instead. I don't want to be in either camp, I never wanted to be a professional blogger but I feel blogging has so much more to offer than just social media (and better search functions!). Might be just me though, most posts I read these days have less comments and everyone is tweeting and liking things instead. Maybe that's what blogs need, a little way to 'like' a post and acknowledge you have read it but have nothing constructive to add as a comment.
I will acknowledge that I need to make this blog something that I would actually read, at the moment it's boring even to me. I read blogs regularly through Feedly but also stumble on new blogs or 'one off reads' through Google searches. On a side note, I perform a lot of searches, my Google stats tell me I have performed over 62,000 searches while logged in - I may have a search addiction. The blog posts I usually read from searches are ones on tips and advice or personal experience and reviews. While I'm far from an expert at anything, I feel like I learn a lot of things I can share.
This blog as also had a visual makeover and I have created a set of images I can use for photo-less posts. I'm proud of my images, so that may serve as additional posting motivation.
I get it! Always here to see your latest posts. While I agree blogging seems to be dying, and the posts, commitments, followers and commenters appear to have faded over the last few years i think we might be similar in its more about us doing what we want supposed to to what the world wants :) hope that makes sense, glad to see you around again.
ReplyDeleteGlad to be back :-) I've even started drafting up the next post! hehe
DeleteA lot of people are leaving their blogs, the amount I've unfollowed due to them stopping is double digits on the high end. I have to say, blogging is kind boring for me as I don't do it to make money, it's still the old fashioned blogging to show or talk about stuff. I do prefer FB and Insta these days, smaller content in regular bouts is a lot easier.
