2016 and beyond

Not talking about the year. I mean the WordPress theme, Twenty Sixteen.
It was time for a new layout. Year is soon over and I wanted a change. Is it good? The layout that is. Not the change even if that’s good too 😀

This layout will do for now. I don’t know what people think about changing the layout of things too often. If it’s after a week or two then that’s too often. But if it’s change 6 months or a year, that’s not bad. It works better for blogs. Websites are different. Some sites look the same for years.

I don’t know how much people look at blog layouts. Do they even visit the blog itself or just read posts on Reader. Personally I do both. If you only read a posts on Reader, you won’t see beyond the blogger. A good layout tells a lot about a person. If it’s sloppy done, it tells you, the blogger doesn’t really bother. If it’s well done, it tells you this person made an effort. Blogging is just not about writing. You also need to look at your layout.

Like I said, the year is soon over and it’s time to look back. Last year I did a review of my blogging year. I don’t know if I’ll do it this year. There’s a lot of work but it’s also interesting what you’ve written during the year. You don’t remember everything you’ve blogged about. I sure don’t. There’s still left to say so I won’t do it just yet. It’s never too early to start going back in time though.

Last day of NaBloPoMo15

Honestly, the whole NaBloPoMo November didn’t go well. I missed 2 days. I just got bored with it. I just can’t post everyday. It didn’t seem to get attention either. I wanted to throw this blog into the wall so to speak. Or actually throw it in my followers faces. I’m very cross with you. Why do you follow me in the first place if you don’t even like a post or even comment? Do you actually care at all? Well of course you do. But oh why? Tell me why you follow me? Don’t be a lurker.

Hello, anybody there? When someone is asking a question, you should reply. “Ask a question and you will get more comments?” Is just BS. I’ve asked a lot but it doesn’t work. Having a blog is such a drag sometimes. Maybe there would be more traffic if it was a blog about fashion, (boring) lifestyle, (booooring) or a food blog (a bit boring) I’ve thought about changing the subjects on this blog. Not because I feel disappointed about the lack of comments etc. It’s more of loving changes and boredom.

Actually I don’t care really. This is my blog and I write what I like. If nobody reads it, it doesn’t matter. There was a good advice in one of the photo blogs I follow. Do not look at your statistics. But that was for photography but I think it applies here too. So I won’t look. But still you look. It’s like when someone says; “Don’t look down”, you still do.

What you should really look, is the new James Bond flick, Spectre. Finally went to see it and it was an exciting one. But oh how I loathe those commercials before a movie starts. That’s the reason I don’t go very often. I’m not going to the movies to watch commercials you see on TV. And then the ticket price is 12 euros. Think again 😛 Today it was 7 euros though.

That was it from the NaBloPoMo15. Good riddance to you.

 

 

NaBloPoMo15: Not going very well

Mia1 Comment

Here we are, Monday again and time for the 2nd week of NaBloPoMo. My contribution doesn’t really look good. I started a post yesterday but today the same enthusiasm is gone. That happens a lot. That’s one of the reasons I have a few drafts. I probably never finish them. I get an idea and have a lot to write about but the next day it’s all gone. That’s what happened today.

I’ve also had a lot of other things to think about besides blogging. I haven’t even written my fictions in a while. I just haven’t had the motivation. I get bored easily and when I do, I don’t feel like doing anything. Just watch comedy shows online or other internet stuff.

The post I’ve started yesterday was possibly too personal and I rather not write about that. Maybe the blog post idea wasn’t that good anyway. But like life in general, never give up. I will get through this writing challenge no matter what it takes. The same with the blog post. If I only would feel that confident in other issues.
