Consistency 2
I’ve been really taking a close look at some of the other blogs that I enjoy reading. Since I’ve been attempting to improve my own skills I’ve started to take a closer look at some of the finer points such as the blogger’s posting frequency, category setup, and strength of the post. I have come to the conclusion that I may have been a bit hard on myself.
The purpose of this blog is to help myself build up some true blogging skills. The development of these skills are important so that I am better able to maintain the “true blog” when the time is right. In essence, this is basically a practice run. I’m out to develop a content mechanism that can deliver a consistently high level of useful content. Obviously, I am still working on the consistency part.
At this point, we won’t even discuss my fear of exposure to the world wide web. To simply say that I have a fear of exposure would be the understatement of the century. But I know that in order to get where I want to be – blogging is a necessary evil. For this reason – and this reason alone – I’m kicking all of my fears to the curb. Criticize me, cuss at me, degrade me if you like – but I’m not going anywhere! I’ve drawn the line in the sand! I’ll only get better.
Hmmm, I guess that along with the aspect of consistency, I’ve also been working through my fear of exposure. I learn something new every day.
My next area of improvement will be learning how to plan out the ideas and layout of a blog. I’ve got to decide what I want to say, how I’m going to say it, and who I’m going to be talking to/with. A blog cannot be without direction.
Let’s decide where we want to drive this thing and how we’re going to get there…
