When I first started blogging, it seemed like a fairly simple concept. I would write about my life and people would read it.
Well, already there are a few problems with this.
One being that people don't read it. I suppose thats not a huge issue as the main purpose for me for writing this is to document my life, my feelings, and my thoughts (I also just like the sound of typing--seriously) and if no one else wants to learn about those things, I'm okay with that.
My second problem is that I'm not sure I'm doing this right. After doing some research on blogging, apparently a blog is supposed to influence people somehow. You're supposed to have commentators and marketing and advertisements and designs and polls and auctions and surveys and podcasts and niches. I don't have these things. I also am not very creative, patient, or elaborate. I don't put up pictures or videos. I rarely attach links. In fact, I rarely write about anything of importance. I was googling (can I link that? should I?) "creative blog topics" and this is what I came up with: "Making marketplaces for Media Makers". I don't even know what that means. Is that what other people write about?
I'm so far behind in these things. I feel like my grandparents. I thought I was up on what was "in" with technology.
Hmm.
Apparently not.
My parents always said it would happen.
PLEASE don't stop!! I read your blog! I love it and check it all the time!!
ReplyDeleteEm, I am with you!! I am doing EXACTLY what you are...posting about my life, the kids and random thoughts and observations. If people read it, great, if not, oh well; but I am doing it for me and to document our life as it is now. All of that other stuff is meaningless and worthless to me!! I think you should do your blog how YOU want to and do it for you!! I know plenty of people (yes most are Gehrigs) that love what you are doing...so keep it up!!!
