Good morning everyone,
Today's blog focuses upon one question: Why Bother Blogging?
The internet is awash with information and you would probably need Moses to help you walk a straight line without getting swept away by the sheer volume of content that exists on here. This issue of content overload caused me to think twice before creating a blog when I was teenager because I asked myself:
1. Would anyone hear me?
2. What would I talk about?
3. Where do I start?
The first two questions are the easiest to answer:
1. Yes. If you post links to your blog upon social networking sites.
Yes. Even if you do not post links there is a chance that people may stumble upon your blog.
2. A blog represents your own space and therefore you are free to talk about whatever issues, people or places are presently pushing you to ponder at length. As a graduate of International Relations and someone that works within the educational sector I often find myself thinking about politics and the future.
My blogs represent how I am currently perceiving the world around me. My blog is just about seeing whether other folks can offer me other ways of looking at the world and I like to hope that I am able to help folks see things in a different light as well.
There are other blogs out there that range from movie reviews, fan fiction about other works of fiction, knitting, dancing, fashion, fishing, philanthropy, travel, cooking and this list could go on forever. There are even blogs about lists!
Blogging is a way for you to express yourself and do not fear about any backlash/criticism.
Partly because that is a risk we take by existing anyway. Secondly this blog has over 1,000 views and the majority of comments I have received are pretty supportive or concern issues that I have overlooked. A previous blog that I used to write had over 10k views, a few hundred comments and the only negative response I ever had was from someone that disliked my long hair as opposed to whatever it was I had written.
Blogging is a great way to express yourself. Vlogging works well too if you have the time/energy to invest in a camera and feel confident enough to do that sort of thing. I currently lack the time for vlogging and feel that I would need more structure to vlog because half the time these blogs are just my thoughts meandering across the page. I doubt my style would carry across as well into a video format.
Whatever you choose to do with your time on the net make sure to give blogging a go.
