Blog apathy

Steve of Begging to Differ thinks it’s hard to be enthusiastic about posting to one’s own blog when most of the hits are for people looking for “Gay Batman”.

I certainly know the feeling; the quantity and quality of SN has gone down over the years, and—ultimately—that really doesn’t bother me that much. I’ve never seen a check from Google Ads, BlogAds ignores me, and that Pajamas/Open Source/Pajamas outfit is just sort of “out there” in the zone I frankly don’t care about. And I am simply content to stop worrying and go about my daily business, posting just enough nonsense to stop panicked phone calls worrying that I’m maimed or deceased, in a way that perhaps I wouldn’t have a couple of years ago.

Sounds like you would post an insightful piece about one’s changing priorities as one grows older…....

….if your priorities hadn’t changed…

I don’t know how anyone with a normal job have time to blog. Back when I worked part time, I had time to read 20 blogs a day and post 20 times a week. When I worked full-time in a position where I had time to sit around, I had time for 5 posts a week. Now I barely have time to stop and eat at work and by the time I’m home I’m too tired to spent more mental energy to spit out whatever thoughts I had that’s probably been posted elsewhere 6 hours ago by someone who doesn’t work a 9–5 job. And really, there’s nothing to post about that isn’t halfway depressing.

 

I’m with you guys. My blog posting has slowed to a trickle, and that’s OK. There’s a lot going on, and some time will open up eventually (he said hopefully). I’m glad that interesting people like Chris and Hei Lun keep posting, even at a slower rate.
