Today I was supposed to give a presentation at school about how I got interested in ICT branch but I got sick. I was going to tell that it was blogging that really got me hooked on computers. And it's true. Pretty much everything I have ever done with computers have had something to do with blogging, one way or another. For example I learned CSS only because I wanted to make my blog look unique. And then there is an infinite list of things I wouldn't be even aware of without blogging, things like RSS and SEO. It just blows my mind away.
And one another thing that also blows my mind away is the fact that I have blogged for about six years now. Though I can't remember the exact date when I started to blog, but I remember it was Fall 2002. Doesn't that make me a veteran or something? So I guess it's no wonder I know so much about blogs and blogging.
And I talk a lot about blogging. So much in fact that J.R. is tired of listening to it. But I can't really help it. I love blogging and I love to talk about things I love. I talk a lot about J.R. too. So much in fact that Hannes is tired of listening to it... Anyway.
As I have pointed out, I know a lot about blogging. I know the ingredients you need to create a killer blog. But I'm just not into that. I love to learn all these things about marketing and search engine optimizing and so on, but blogging is just a hobby to me. A very important hobby, but still just a hobby. I take blogging very seriously, but I don't want my blog to be serious. I want to drive my blog, not the other way round.
And my blog evolves with me. For example when I was exploring Ubuntu, I wrote some Ubuntu related articles. Now I'm into crocheting and it shows on my topics too. I even changed the header to match the blog content better. If this was a serious niche blog I wouldn't be able to do so. My blog is a reflection of my current interests. And they vary.
OK, this may be a bit off topic... But I just got home from grocery store and I need to share this with you. I was walking to the store when a man stopped me. And out of the blue he asked if I wore panties. Like what is wrong with him? Seriously. You can't just go asking women if they are wearing underwear! That's not cool. And I'm not even hot or anything. Ugh.

Oot kyllä melkoinen blogiveteraani tosiaan jos olet jo 6 vuotta duunannut! Oikeasti, se on näissä asioissa jo tosi pitkä aika.
ReplyDeleteTiedätkö mitään mainosten liittämisestä blogiin? Pystyisikö sillä tienaamaan vai pitäisikö sitä varten olla ihan joku miljoonan kävijän megablogi?
Hell yeah. Silloin kun mä aloitin bloggaamaan, niistä puhuttiin vielä nettipäiväkirjoina. Ja sen jälkeen olen yhtä jaksoisesti blogannut koko ajan, välillä useampaankin blogiin yhtä aikaa. Että mulle se ei ole pelkästään harrastus, vaan myös elämäntapa tms.
ReplyDeleteJa joo. Kyllä siihen pitäisi melkein olla jokin miljoonan kävijän megablogi että mainoksilla oikeasti tienaisi jotain muuta kuin karkkirahoja.
Mun kanta on vähän se, että mainoksia ei missään tapauksessa kannata laittaa jos niillä ei oikeasti tuntuvasti jotain tienaa. Ei ne mainokset kuitenkaan mitään kivoja ole, sitä vartenhan on adblockkikin ettei niitä tarvitse katsella. Ärsyttää vaan niitä vähäisiä lukijoita :P
I love your passion for blogging! I think you are right,we need to drive our blogs, not the other way round. and the guy asking about your 'panties'? that's just seriously messed up.
ReplyDeleteJoo, totta se on elämäntapa eikä pelkkä harrastus. Ihan eri tavalla osaa jäsennellä omaa elämäänsä, jos kirjoittaa siitä välillä jotain ylös.
ReplyDelete(Mikä fontti näissä kommenteissa muuten on? Kivan näkönen.)
ReplyDeleteKiva että puhut välillä jostain muustakin ku virkkaamisesta. Ei sillä ettei nekin olis kiinnostavia, mut on kiva kuulla vähän muustakin välillä. :)
Oothan sä aika hot. Ainakin nörtiksi. :P Mut ei noin kyllä normaalit ihmiset kysy...
Hyvä pointti muuten että muutat blogia sitä mukaa kun kiinnostuksetkin vaihtuu. Mulle käynyt näköjään samoin. En olis kyllä tota otsikkoa huomannut jos et ois maininnu. :P
Toi wordpress ei sit muuten ookaan täydellinen. Lisäsin sidebariin yhen jutun ja sit sen seurauksena siel yks vanha muuttu jostain syystä. Et koodissa ei oo mitään ongelmaa, vaan Kai sanoi että pitäis jotkut hemmetin cachet tyhjentää että se päivittyis. O.o
Ai mun virkkaukset ei kelpaa :P
ReplyDeleteKyllä mäkin tiedostan, että välillä pitäisi kirjoittaa jostakin muusta. Mutta en mä oikein osaa kirjottaa mitään hirveän syvällistä, ja sitten jos mulle tapahtuu jotain niin yleensä en jostain esim. eettisistä syistä pysty kirjoittamaan siitä.
Tästä fontista en muuten tiedä. jos tarkoitat tätä Bloggerin kommenttisuvua. Yritin kattoo sorsasta mutta se on vissiin piilotettu jotenkin. Mutta mun blogissa se on Georgia sans tms.
Tän kommenttisivun fontista vaan, että vaikuttais olevan vanha kunnon Trebuchet MS.
ReplyDeleteNii Elina, että vaikuttais olevan Trebuchet. Aina joku viisaampi jossain tietää =)
