Blogging 201(day 3): I change for no one

Mia2 Comments

I don’t know if joining Blogging 201 was such a great idea after all. It feels like repeating. I have done a lot of difference changes before and I’m happy the way it is. I don’t care about feedback when it comes to layouts. And who looks at the front page anyway. It’s what on the inside that counts. Most people probably only read blogs through Reader.

If this was a website, maybe then the layout would be more important. Or I don’t know. I don’t think my blog attracts that many people. If you compare another blogs (food, fashion blogs etc.) that is. I just dislike the word brand. That’s one of the reasons I think this challenge isn’t what I need. It’s only 14 days so I might just hang along. And maybe I gain more followers and might learn something new. You never know.

So that this post won’t be totally boring. I always and always will use free themes. There’s a lot of good ones so why pay for one. If anyone wonders, the header I made with Photoshop tutorial. Did you think I can use Photoshop that well without help? 😀

Blogging 201: Setting goals

In the place of a Dark Lord you would have a Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Morn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth! All shall love me and despair!
– Galadriel (Lord of the rings)

OK, not really 😀

I’m taking part of Blogging 201 and it’s day one. It’s about setting goals to you blog. Well, what are my goals exactly. I’m never been good at setting goals. I guess I’ve been disappointed too many times. I used to have dreams but they’ve got dashed (for different reasons) That’s the same with goals. When I make goals, things always change. Maybe I just expect too much. So I’ve learned, if you don’t expect too much, you don’t get disappointed. Sad but true.

So with the blog I won’t have any special goals. What I really, really want (Spice Girls anyone 😉 ) is people to read what I write. I stopped looking at the stats. They are just guidelines anyway. I don’t want much from this blog. No fame, no fortune. I just want to share my thoughts with someone. And of course some comments once in a while. What it comes to Twitter and Facebook. Won’t give a damn. This is for WordPress only. But if someone wants to follow me there, just go a head. I won’t mind. Just one thing, I don’t ‘collect’ followers. If someone just want to increase their following base, don’t bother. Thank you.

So:

  • No special goals
  • To have at least one comment per post (minus pingbacks, real comments please)
  • To write at least once per day (maybe not post them)

Weekly Writing Challenge:Time for poetry

MiaLeave a comment

I’ve written poetry a few times but they are  something I rather keep for myself. And they’re not that good. I like rhyming poetry.
Here’s something that I just made up.

Chores
If I don’t do the dishes, they make me sleep with the fishes

If I clean, I might get a spleen

Doing the laundry makes my face tawny

Clean the bathroom if you wanna and don’t forget the sauna

Chores is a must but sometimes you just don’t feel the lust

What to do, is up to you

Do it or not but don’t complain if everything’s dirty

You just have to beg for mercy
