why do i read your blog?
I read your blog not because of your impressive writing abilities. Whether you believe it or not, I am a silent follower of this blog and that is not to say that the blogger can’t write well because based on her background, I think she’s doing great with her writing. If you don’t focus on the strict grammar rules of the English language, you might also enjoy reading her entries.
I read your blog not because you’re famous. I follow Heather Armstrong. She’s famous and she writes really well but that is not the reason why I read her blog. Believe it or not, most of the bloggers I follow are small time bloggers who cater to very few audiences.
I follow your blog not because I learn from it. I actually hate super pretentious blogs that tell you what to do. Google leads me to those kinds of blogs whenever I need info but the chance that I will return to those blogs is always almost zero.
I read your blog because you share something about your life and your thoughts with honesty. I read your blog because I get the feeling that we have something in common. I read your blog because we have the same opinions on some things. I read your blog because I like your humor. I read your blog because I can sympathize with your sorrows. I read your blog because it’s entertaining.
I, myself, don’t have a writing prowess to boast about but I have an idea why a few readers read what I write because it is also the very reason why I read somebody else’s blog.
I read your blog because I know that behind that blog is a “real” person.
Read MoreGoodbye to my old theme
There’s a lot of revamping going on in my blogs lately and I am not done yet. I started with merging some of my blogs and changing the themes. Not only did this blog got a new theme but my other blog, Bizarre Marriage, is also running on a new theme since last week. The next few weeks will bring more merging. My target is to have less than five blogs and at the moment I still have like seven or so.
The reason why I am doing this is because I want to be able to manage all of my blogs well and with the day job coming this September, I’ll definitely have lesser time for blogging so I thought that it is better to keep fewer blogs but manage them well than to keep all my blogs and leave most them unattended.
So anyway, I like my old theme and it worked well for me but I’ve been using it for a long time so I thought of using a new one for a change.
I think my new theme is great! ElegantThemes.com has some really handsome themes and I particularly like this one because of it looks clean. The photos, if you noticed, are not related to the blog posts but for aesthetics’ sake, I placed one photo on each post. This theme looks way better with the photos and in the future I will try to put photos that are related to my blog posts. There’s one thing though… and I would do it if I could but I my PHP knowledge is very limited. It is actually not even enough to place the “recent comments” and “random articles” on the bottom of the page instead of displaying them on top.
And then there’s also the reminder from Sterndal that since I merge some of my blogs, I also have to fix some links. She’s right but I’m not sure if I would like to go through all that hassles. This blog alone has almost a hundred posts and I after putting photos on each of them, I don’t like to imagine going through each post to check if the links are linking to deleted blogs. But maybe I’ll do it someday. Who knows? It’ll definitely make my blog better.
Read MoreI merged two blogs today
The blog that contains my scrapbook pages (Digitally Designed) is now merged with this blog. I finally realized that I can’t handle that much blogs anymore. I am now busy looking for a real job and I have a good feeling that I will find one soon.
That means I will have less time for my blogs.
I still have nine blogs and I am thinking of merging some of these blogs together.
Read MoreGot My New Phone Today
I got my new iPhone today!!! It’s my husband’s birthday and Christmas present for me. Since the two occasions are in the same month, he decided to make one big gift for both occasions.
Initially he said that he’ll only give it to me on my birthday but he gave in to my constant request to be allowed to use it earlier.
I am actually using my iPhone now to write this entry and it is just so cool! I am still learning and trying different iPhone apps but I so far, I can say that this Apple device is great!
Read MoreWas bin ich von Beruf?
Ich bin Lehrerin von Beruf aber im Moment arbeite ich nicht als Lehrerin, weil es für mich fast unmöglich ist als Lehrerin zu arbeiten. Mein Mann und ich reisen so viel und es gibt keine Schule, die mir viel Urlaub gibt. Deshalb habe ich versucht einen Job zu finden und darin war ich erfolgreich. Jetzt arbeite ich als Blogger und diesen Job mag ich sehr gern, weil ich wann und wo ich will arbeiten kann. Ich arbeite zu Hause. Da hat mein Mann ein Heimbüro für mich eingerichtet. Mein Job macht mir Spaß, weil Schreiben zu meinen Hobbys gehört und weil ich für Web Design großes Interesse habe. Normalerweise schreibe ich nur morgens. Ich finde das gut weil ich nachmittags andere Sachen machen kann. Im Grunde bin ich meine eigene Chefin aber es gibt auch Zeiten, in denen ich abends arbeiten muss. Meine Kunden sind aus Amerika. Daher haben wir einen großen Zeitunterschied und das ist ein Nachteil.
Momentan ist Blogging ein perfekter Job für mich, aber in der Zukunft möchte ich wieder als Lehrerin arbeiten. Kinderunterrichten ist meine erste Liebe deshalb wäre ich glücklicher, wenn ich in der Zukunft unterrichten könnte.
