From actually updating this blog, I have learned this about blogging and about myself:
1) I should practice being concise.
2) Followers don't magically appear. Cherish every one of them. (You rock, JS. :P)
3) I don't have as many random Photoshop jpegs as I at first assumed I did.
4) I tend to post, or at least begin a post, at ridiculous hours of the night.
5) My posts inevitably take a dark or serious turn. I have had to withhold posts for partly this reason. I know I'm using a black background, but that doesn't mean everything has to be so grave, I mean-- yeah, yeah, Lesson 1. Concision.
Is "concision" a word? I should look that up. It sounds more like a surgical procedure practiced with a serrated blade, begun in the Dark Ages with little to moderate success.
Aaaaaaaaaand there's Lesson 5.
1) yeah, this is kind of key. people blow through blog posts when they get a chance, so if yours is short, there's more chance they'll take a minute to read & comment. I don't always follow this rule though. actually, no one really does.
ReplyDelete2) YEAH, it's too bad they don't though. best way to get some is to comment on other blogs. a LOT of other blogs. REGULARLY. and follow them. many people follow back ;)
3) heh. no one does. I have to find new pictures every week.
4) ...yes. that's why I schedule all of mine ;) then it looks like I sleep/post at regular hours. if they only knew...
5) dark could be fun...
