My blogging experience


This is the first time I write a blog. I did have a blog some years ago, but I never put any content in it. And I think it is now buried in the oceans of million blogs without no body taking pity on it, RIP. I didn’t write anything in it because I didn’t know what to write. I had no idea what kind of content is more appealing to other bloggers. Serious content maybe too boring while casual matters may not be worthwhile to read.

But after giving it a try, I do think blogging is fun to do. It’s worthy to do it on a regular basis. The things I like about blogging is that I can write casually about some serious and meaningful matter. This is a better platform than Facebook as the audience base is kind of more self-selected. Only people who are interested in what I write will follow my post. While in Facebook, everyone can take a glimpse at what I write, this is quite annoying sometimes. Blogs are just like communities for people with the same interest to gather together and share their views.

It is the quality of blog content which attracts me. For me, blogging is a good chance to find out ‘hidden expert’ in different fields. For example, experts of photography like to share their experience in their blogs. It's far better looking at their blogs than reading those boring and stubborn photography books. In order to grab attention in the blogging society, here’s something you can do. 1st, do some research, no one likes to read crap when there are better blogs around. 2nd, make use of digital media, sometimes it's hard to explain an idea with just words. 3rd, this is the most important one, crack some jokes. Why so serious? Blogging is supposed to be fun and casual.
