Since I recently seem to have gotten an influx of new readers, I feel somewhat pressured to write a witty, insightful blog post to impress them all.
Of course, that’s really just not how I work.
WordPress recently integrated an interesting feature that keeps track of each blog post and then encourages/goads you into updating more frequently (410 posts!!!! Only 5 MORE to get to 415!!!!). Assumedly it’s aimed at reducing dead/abandoned blogs. While I’ve been blogging long enough, I can’t tell anyone how to make money doing it nor even give them tips on making them update more often. There was a service that I signed up for that gave a daily topic, but I gave up after….um…one. It feels like a cop-out to write using someone else’s idea.
My blog exists because I feel like noting some information down at any given time and because I don’t put any pressure on myself to produce. Consistency? Ha! What’s that??!?
Of course, downing some scotch makes it a lot easier.
I’m not going to lie, if I ever manage to make it to a Freshly Pressed site, I’ll be pretty proud. But I’ll feel better that all the links off to the side will get more clicks. That’s what my blog is about – sharing and talking about stuff that I think is cool, odd, or otherwise mentionable.
