This poor blog of mine, http://angrydwarf.com.au has been neglected a bit lately. Why do we blog? I have been reading about blogging and came across a couple of articles I liked from bloggers I respect.
The article from Molly E. Holzschlag about why we blog. – I also quite like her book “Spring into HTML” which you can find out about on her website The comment responses to the article were interesting.
The following quote from weblogg-ed.com (bad Seo!) Hit home for me.
” But here is the thing: no matter how you slice it, blogging is a risk. And it’s a risk not just because you are putting yourself out there for the world, but because unlike many other types of writing that we do, it’s unfinished. At least that’s the way it feels for me. I don’t KNOW very much for certain. But blogging isn’t about what I know as much as it’s about what I think I know, and I find that to be a crucial distinction. For me, it’s the distinction that constantly makes this hard. It’s also the distinction, however, that makes blogging worth it. “
I have been keeping my personal blog (this one) My business blogsites http://wellfedpets.com.au/ and http://hostpossum.com/ and my cloud computing personal interest blog http://love2tweet.com/ (and several others) well separated . when your trying to run 2 businesses and come up with articles for several different weblogs as well as a personal facebook page, and a business page on facebook for both hostpossum and wellfedpets and Twitter! Well I guess there aren’t enough hours in the day. Blogging Is hard work! and when you are overworked things slip! .
What to do? I am not really sure but I won’t be giving up this blog any time soon. (Especially with elections not that far off!)
