Laura, you were right. Has blogging died?


Some time back on Laura's blog she wrote a post I can't even remember the name of or what it was about.

BUT.

I said something like, "I'd blog all the time whether people read or not" and she wrote back to me and said, "no, you wouldn't. Even if you won't admit it, you write for the conversation" or something like that.

The whole thread is as I remember it.

Laura, do you remember?

Anyway, she was right.

Because seriously in the history of forever (8 years) I haven't thought about stopping writing as much as I have over this last week.



And no, nothing's wrong with me.

Well now, the screws that were loose are still loose :)

But no-one's reading.

My "readership" is like 1/3rd of what it used to be, and comments are of course also waaaaaayyyy down.

I've always had low comments on the Organising Queen blog but that doesn't bother me (much) because the readership has always been there, and fairly consistent (okay it's not growing much but it's a really nice decent size).

The blog is starting to feel like Twitter (and you all know how much I hate Twitter because no one talks back)...



On the other hand, I'm loving Instagram.

I'm not on there much at all these days because of the lack of decent wifi, so if I do go on during the day, it's to post, not to scroll through other people's pretty pictures. If people comment on mine, then I do feel like it's just good manners to comment back. Right?

So that's where I'm at with the blog and social media.

Facebook is still off my phone - long may that last.



Speaking of work stuff, even MORE things are blocked after we moved buildings. On the bright side, no distractions so I'm super productive but on the other hand, no reading or commenting on blogs at work so there are always about 100 posts unread. I'm going to have to unsubscribe from some because that unread number makes me twitch.

How many blogs are you reading these days?
How active are you on social media?

I'd love to hear from the 5 of you still reading ;) (couldn't resist!)
