Blogging 201 (day 5): Give ‘Em what they want

MiaLeave a comment

Like in the Pet shop boys song I Don’t Know What You Want but I Can’t Give It Any More

Looking at my stats, the most viewed post of all time is this. Others are writing challenges. What I write by my ‘own devices’ seems to lack viewers. Even though if they have readers (viewers) But challenges has helped me get my blog out there (where ever that is) If people read this blog or not, that I don’t know. When I started blogging, I looked at the stats more seriously. But now they are just guidelines to me. So far the stats has improved. I’m not reaching for the stars so even a small group is welcomed.

From the starts, the blog has only been about things I like and it will remain so. Personal things seem to be an ‘In’ thing these days. But I won’t go there. Maybe once in a while I might go a little deeper to my soul a.k.a personal things. I want to write about things I want to write about, not because it’s popular.

My stats say Thursdays and Fridays are the busiest. So according to that I should only post on those days if I want traffic? No thanks, my ideas come every day of the week. My mind doesn’t work on schedule.

So like Pet Shop Boys, I don’t know what you want but I can’t give it anymore. But what I can give you, is a peak in my world. You’re welcome to stay.

Blogging 201: Get Read all over

So day 4 of Blogging 201

My blog is mobile-friendly. But I don’t care if it is really. I only use the lap top and all those other new gadgets are just meh to me. But since there are people who are “obsessed” to be on the internet everywhere, I’m just gonna let them have it. If you can’t see this blog, then too bad. I won’t change it. As long as you can see my writing that’s all that matters.

I’m a bit disappointed with this Blogging 201. So far it’s only been about layouts etc. I was expecting something with how to get more readers. Maybe I’ve just misunderstood it. I want people to read my blog and not look at the layout. I hope there will be less layout business in the upcoming assignments or it hasn’t been very useful for me.

So that’s done and dusted. Next!

 

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

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? 😀
