I decided to 'enrich' my blogging 'experience' - in other words, lamely put, try to find a way to get people to read my blog. SCARY! I did a search on other blogs. Ok, so I knew there are gazillions of bloggers, with blogging being the 'in' thing to do, but I wasn't prepared for the enormity.
My feeble senses screamed 'too much already!' and I settled into a calmer browsing. Seems most blogs out there are business blogs. Now, I have nothing against business, but I do have a tendency to get very drowsy while browsing those (must be some form of allergic reaction). So..... I decided to just hit 'next' until I found something worth reading... I mean... really reading.
My first 'next' experience was http://sandi-pics.blogspot.com/
I love her photos. They're wacky and cool and speak volumes or am I just odd? I love the quotes and I love the notes. I 'specially love the 101 things to do. I may just have to copy that list, as I never get around to making a list of my own, never mind keeping it!
Onto the next 'next'. Could someone tell me how I can link to other bloggers without having to write a shpiel? << how on earth do I spell that anyway?
I feel awestruck. I don't think anyone's ever mentioned my blog in their's before. Thank you for the very kind words.
ReplyDeleteSandi, I mentioned your blog because, out of the 100's I browsed through, yours was the one I found worth reading ;)
ReplyDeleteLove your writings! Did you ever find out how to publicize your blog? My sister is struggling with the question of how to find readers...
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you're planning on checking back here, so I'll post in your forum too, but I had the same problem as your sister. What I've done, which has improved my readership (even if only a little) is to create other blogs at Yahoo 360° and MSN's Myspace, which rss feed back to this blog. I also link to my blog from my site and the blog in turn links to my site. I'll probably set up blogs elsewhere later to link to here as well. Other than that, get people in your community, you could perhaps pass the link onto friends who pass it onto friends who pass it on... you get my meaning. She can also link to other bloggers with the same interest... that works too.
