Two years of blogging!!!
I first began this blog in October of 2005. It was a brand new experience for me waaaay back then and I had no idea what a blog even was until I saw some artists discussing this in one of my eBay artist groups. Blogging was all the rage at that particular time, so between that and the bi-monthly newsletters, I had to keep myself busy coming up with new info for people to read.
As blogging became more and more popular, fewer people were even bothering to read them anymore. Same with the newsletters. I was keeping close tabs on the % of people that even opened my newsletters for two years and it kept dropping as time went on....even with the addition of new people every month.
This would be an introverting point if I took it personally, but I don't. I used to read other people's blogs and newsletters with avid interest two years ago, but after many months...I didn't give a shit what they said anymore. I know some of them were professionals and they used various attention-getting points and tried numerous ways of retaining their readers' attention...but I lost interest nonetheless.
I have basically unsubscribed to almost all the newsletters that I was receiving. Some folks were sending them out every other day or several times a week, and I got bored even faster. Now on YouTube, I see people that post a new pointless video every stinking day and I am unsubscribing to them, too.
People, people, people....just because you think you have something important to say does not mean that other people will think so. Has all the press helped Britney, Lindsey, Angelina??? Or has it made a lot of us sick to death of them? I'm in the latter category........
At this stage of the game, I'm even sick of myself. LOL Blah, blah, blah and yap, yap, yap. This is why you only see posts from me in here but once or twice a week, usually. Enough is enough. Who the hell is interested in what I think, anyhow?
