Why would someone blog?

I know I don’t do much with my blog these days.  When I look back on some of the posts that I had published on my blog, I do not really see too much of what I originally started my blog for on display.  At least everything I have created on my blog has been about issues that have affected me, too bad some has been on things that I have no control over,  It’s funny how many of the posts that my blog gained some knowing for, were over problems that are very childish.  Not too much I can do about it now.

Regardless of the content, my blog does have a Google page rank of a 4, so I guess it has not been all of a complete waste.  It may get dropped, but that’s the name of the game.  Maybe if I stick at it I can do more with www.delthedad.com.  I have thought at times “maybe I should stick to it, and write about things that are relevant to me and my life.”  That is what I said I created my blog for since the beginning, so I will try to stick with it.

Even though I am not active on my blog, I still keep up on maintenance which plainly is spam removal. I haven’t really thought of what will come of me and blogging, but maybe if I really give it some effort, something positive could come about.  I have always thought I would like to write out articles on issues that I have some deep thoughts about.  Maybe some can benefit from my posts on real topics for thought.

I guess, like with many blogs I see out there, the question “why did I create this blog” is mentioned by many.  Maybe it is people wondering where they can I fit in?  I experienced a lot and have learned a lot with Kristin along her many years of blogging.  Tough lessons have also been learned but that is just a part of life.  But like with all lessons, it has added to experience.  Maybe I have been a little timid on what I do with my blog, since I do not know it all.  When I do speak, I am sure I have my facts straight and everything else will be unveiled.

Over the years I have somewhat kept up with what goes on in the social media realm concerning bloggers and public relations. I simply look at it all as insight into an important aspect regarding the future of business communications around the world and into people’s homes.  Many people have created blogs to try and make some money, but I think many have also realized that it is not as easy as one may think.  My advice, be real and be honest.  Make a blog for something in your interest.  Of course you can make it strictly to gain, but I think it only makes it that much harder.  I will try and do some posts on blogging tips.  I have real experience with helping Kristin and some others, and I have always been successful so far.

Just a little more to bore you.  I have always been a fan of technologies and social media tools.  I had always taken part in the online interactive mediums since back in the days of America Online and their dial up (this is back in the mid 90’s.)  I did fall away from computers and the online world up till I met Kristin.  Don’t get me wrong, I did not use computer, but I used them more for a tool to gather information and other business purposes.  She took it a step future and used it as a digital online scrapbook which plainly was a website, but these days better referred to as a blog.  I think about how far the online communities have come and I am curious on how where and far they will go.

Watching what Kristin does has introduced me to a lot of new information and experience with ho some of the current online tools.  I am fascinated by the inner workings.  I have seen how people interact online, ways you can really have success from a blog, the good and the bad of blogging, along with many other subjects brought about.  I have seen some parts of blogging go through changes which have been very fascinating. Kristin’s blog www.ourordianrylife.com was successful and she does not plan to give it up anytime soon.

But that is all fine and dandy for her.  What should I do with my blog?  My hesitation with blogging I think is that life is very hectic.  When I have felt that I would like to publish something that I think would add importance to my blog, the atmosphere is chaotic.  Kristin is gone with both of the kids, and it is completely quiet here.  I am enjoying it while it lasts, but I think that will end here shortly.  The peacefulness is nice.

So maybe I will try and take the time to do something more with my blog.  I wonder sometimes if what I put in a post will matter, but I can look at it as tuning my skills of writing.  I do enjoy writing in my head, but when it comes time to put it down to see, it seems not so easy.  But maybe it is just the noise.  I think I will try and put more into my blog.

Well I guess I got enough out this round bout, since the family just walked back in.  The silence was broken as I heard them get out of the car outside.  I heard them, even before they opened the door.  It was nice while it lasted, and it gave me some time to think on what I will do with my blog for the new year of 2010.  I have some ideas and I guess it’s all about putting them out there for others to read and possible take something from.

Good luck to all bloggers this year and hopefully everyone has a positive experience.
