Where to Start
A first post, just to get started. Whatever happened to blogging? Maybe it will have its vinyl records moment. I will do my part. (Also: Frogmore Cottage is not really roughing it so much.)
I need to post something just to get started. These things will flow more naturally with practice.
I spent years posting random thoughts and life updates to my blog. But was it just my blogging, or did the whole idea die with a whimper? It certainly fell out of vogue. (The RSS feed was key to keeping up with one’s favorite blogs. I need to find out what the state of Mac RSS reader apps is.) Perhaps it was just the Vlog taking over. That’s where the money is, after all. If my favorite YouTubers ran blogs, I’d read their posts far more faithfully than I’d watch their ad-laden, sponsor-approved, YouTube-content-policy-policed videos. But I digress.
The lure of the big following is there in everyone’s minds. You have to be clever, become one with the almighty algorithm, and play its ever-changing game. Soon, you too will have a million followers and the private party invites will be yours to disdainfully disregard. Blogging was a simpler affair, even for those with ads and sponsors.
