I’m new at blogging… so when I came across the article How To Write A Better Blog I thought, all right, sign me up. I’m willing to learn from the blogging experts. So I blew the dust off the laptop screen, wrote a note reminding myself to dust tomorrow and continued to read.
I found a series of interview answers from other bloggers. First up was a gal named Kheidee… and I quote, “Success is getting what you want. Once you are happy with what that, then your blog is successful.” (In case you are wondering, this is not a miss-quote.) I pondered this statement for quite some time. I still can’t make sense of it, but evidently it’s working for Kheidee.
From here I’ll just paraphrase (and clean up a little of the) other advice given.
“Blog by the rules” Jess said. Then in the next breath she said to do what I want and blog what I want. Huh? Jessie girl, have you been hanging around with Kheidee?
I also gleaned from the article that I am to “express what they are interested in”. I believe “they” are you and since I don’t know what you are interested in I’m going to assume its the same stuff I’m interested in cause that’s what I’m going to write about anyway. (<– award-winning run on sentence.)
Next I’m to “use my passion to teach others”. I’m passionate about having fun. Don’t think I can teach ‘fun’… but you never know. Just in case, I will try to put into practice what I’ve just learned…
So, here’s to you Jess… I’m about to blog by the rules which seems to mean I get to do what I want. Here is one of my favorite musical groups. I think they are fun. They are The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. Possibly I’ve taught you about a new musical group? I hope you find them inspiring.
Oh my stars… blogging was much easier before I read that article.
When all is said and done 
I am writing this as I listen to your wonderful video, and I’m smiling. This is fun!
The blogging concept is a mystery to me as well, but playing with different ideas was so much fun, that the rules didn’t matter to me that much once I got going.
The idea of rules for blogging is somewhat amusing, in fact.
I just wanted to make my blog a pretty place to visit, but also one where no credit cards are required to enjoy it.
This video is cracking me up. Thanks for sharing it!
Hey Kristen… So happy you enjoyed the Ukulele Orchestra. I think those two words together are in themselves funny.
I thought the idea of blogging and ‘rules’ to be a bit strange and especially the way it was presented (slightly obtuse) in the blog I was reading… however the result was the creation of my post. Gotta love (and run with) inspiration when it hits.
