Delayed June Review
This month’s the review has been delayed quite a bit. I’ve been feeling very lazy and have been procrastinating since a long time. But finally I’ve tried very hard and pushed myself to the limit and finally managed to have this post published.
So lets talk about May. I’ve been buzzing a lot last month (read this post if you’ve not heard about seededbuzz) and I’ve recently been buzzed for the first time too. Its a good method to exchange links and provide readers with other relevant articles to read.
Also you’ve probably noticed the new disclosure policy and some sponsored content recently, what can I say, I hope to make some money to keep this blog online. I’ll try to keep the posts relevant to the blog and publish honest opinions.
* PR Update
I’ve read on a few other blogs about the Google PR being updated on the 4th June and I’m glad that the PR for this blog continues to be 3. How did your blog fare in this update?
Well I don’t really have anything significant planned for this month but its best that you stay subscribed to avoid missing out on sporadic updates of great value.
Happy Blogging!
Where do you draw the line?
Blogging is about self expression, but where do you draw the line? Just read a post by Lady Grier, How much is too much to share……. There are some bloggers who blog about everything that happens in their life with photos. Now some of these blogs are nice and you can really connect with the blogger even though you may have never met them in real life and your only contact may have been over the internet. But there are some things that are too personal and should be left that way like Nile Flores say in her post Are There Things Not To Say When Blogging?
Some people place a high priority on their privacy and would prefer not to be in the spotlight. You’ve got to respect the feelings of these people and not mention them on your blog or divulge personal details of people who may not like it.
It may seem wierd to you but some people haven’t really caught up to the internet and find themselves ill at ease with their photo being posted online, especially when its not a pretty picture. You’ve got to exercise discretion when you are blogging about others or even yourself. You might post something which you may regret later, but then it may be too late.
How blogging has changed me?
Everything we do in life affects us in some way or the other. So does blogging. I’ve read a post What Has Blogging Taught You? By Loli and I would like to share my own learnings with you just like Jill who blogs at Musings from Me.
I’ve been blogging for a while now, on My Opera blog and here too, and let me tell you very frankly, Blogging has indeed really changed me. Honestly I’m not the same person I used to be back in the days before I started my blog on My Opera.
I’ve always been a very shy and introvert person. I almost never spoke up in groups. In discussions the leader would literally have to force me to get some inputs or feedback from me. I wasn’t dumb but I wasn’t very comfortable sharing my thoughts and opinions in public.
So how has blogging helped in changing me?
Blogging is a means of self expression. It enables you to voice you opinion. By blogging I’ve been able to connect with people. I read other’s blogs, comment on them, post articles on my own blogs that people comment on. Its much like having an online conversation with on measure of time.
With this experience that I’ve gained I find it a little less akward. Mind you, I haven’t changed completely and turned into a very extrovert person. But I’m less likely to keep to myself in social situations. I often share my ideas in group discussions now and they are well received and appreciated.
Blogging has helped me learn to express myself and connect with people. A truly marvelous gift.
I’d really like to know what have you learn’t from blogging?
May Mission
Wow! Another month has passed by so quickly. Its been nearly 4 months now that I’m hosting this blog and so far it has been a fairly good ride. The stats are looking fairly nice. The Google PR is 3, Alexa rank is 540,046. But off late I’ve been feeling a little lost. I read a post about setting a mission for your blog by Christie Kissinger. That got of me thinking, what is the mission of this blog? Thanks to this post by Tabitha I’ve been able to find the answer.
I had started this blog because I wanted to have my own domain. And also because I wanted to have complete control over my blog. Blogging here has taught me a lot about domains, wordpress, plug ins, themes, css, blog promotion etc.
The mission for this blog is to share my experiences with the world, to help people with my knowledge.
I like to share my knowledge with the world. I’ll tell you why, if I have one apple and we share it we both will have half an apple, but if I have one idea and we share it we both will still have one idea each. So although they say knowledge is power, this power increases when it is shared.
So I’ll try to focus on my mission and learn new thing that I can share with the world. Wish me luck. 
How I promote my blog posts?
Promoting your blog posts is an integral part of the blogging process. You cannot just write great posts and hope that the world will find your content and be benefited by it. Even if you find out the answer to the greatest question and post a blog about it, no one will know about it unless you promote the post and draw the attention of the readers. (more…)
