Talking to Myself about the Lost Art of Blogging

A Blog is Worth a Thousand Posts

For the record, this was recorded back in April. Right in the midst of my blogging resurrection. Like everything else I was neck deep in, I took a break from that as well for the summer. I am currently in the process of cleaning off the dust and getting back into things, so let me get my bearings.

BUT! It doesn't mean I don't agree with what I said a few months ago. I am still very very much on my high horse with blogging. I feel like the internet would be a better place for it if we all found a way back to such joy scrolling (yeah, I said it! I think it fits).

While I'm still casting aside social media on a personal level and haven't thought about going back, I still use it for professional reasons. Sharing the show, or things about my shop, it's as inevitable as Thanos. 

But it doesn't change the fact that all the points I made about blogging being better are still 100% true. So hear me out!

Tell me what you think! Head over to my blog where the show notes are for this episode (linked below) and tell me how you feel about blogs today. 

As always, enjoy the show!

Links and Info Discussed

• Here is my blog! Go check it out and let me know what you think.

When I decided to get back in the flow of blogging, I wrote up quite a few - rather lengthy - blog posts about it. If you want to check them out, I highly recommend. Not because it's me, obvi. But because it gives a lot more insight as to why I think the way I think about blogging. Those posts are:

• The Once and Future Blogger - My Return to Blogging
• Behind the Curtain - Updating the Blog
• My Life on Social Media
• Separating Myself from Social Media

I was going to link to Bloglovin', because back in April I checked and saw it was actually alive. Buuuuuuuuut it's dead again LOLOL. I managed to find out what happened to them though. Head over to the blog where I go into more detail. HAHA, see what I did there?!

• Looks like Ashley from Nose Graze covered it here: Bloglovin' Is Now Stealing Your Posts
• Nicole from Feed Your Fiction Addiction also talked about Bloglovin'. Looks like it was on its way out at this point, but she was a heavy user there like I was and noticed the change - Tales of a Social Media Failure: Is Bloglovin' a Thing of the Past?
