When a blogger disappears
When a blogger disappears. . .
There are no pictures on milk cartons, no search parties formed to find them (a nice posse would’ve been nice :lol: ), no rewards offered for information leading to their re-emergence. Simply a couple comments on posts asking where they went. Ah. . . the life of a lonely blogger. :cry:
Many things have contributed to my decision to cut back on blogging. My blogging frequency went down the toilet shortly after getting my current job. This job increased my daily commute from 10 minutes each way to 1 hour each way. That 1 1/2 to 2 hours each day is what I was spending on my blogging habit. I still sit in front of a computer all day, but now I don’t enjoy what I do there. Now my mind has associated all time in front of a computer with the mind numbing work I do for my career, making blogging less appealing. I also noticed that the niche of blogging about blogging was getting quite crowded. I may try to re-energize myself and get back into the swing-of-things again or I may take this blog in a completely new direction. I’m trying to come up with some ideas and welcome any feedback or requests.
For those of you that are interested in what happened to my stats during my 2 1/2 months of practical inactivity. . . Funny thing is, my stats didn’t drop off any. Thanks to a handful of posts that get daily hits from the major search engines. My daily visitors and page views dropped slightly, but nothing too major. My blog feed subscribers actually increased during the last 3 months. Not the monthly increase I was noticing when I was posting frequently, but any little increase would be unexpected considering the lack of new posts. Now that I say this, I’m sure many of you will be unsubscribing. I don’t want you to, but I would blame you if you did.
