Blogging With A Purpose

5.01.2008 by Savvy Suzy

Most months, if you’ve come by here before, you will notice that my articles have a theme. It makes it easier to write topics for each section. Last month it was about , March was , February was about Love, and January focused on the New Year. This month is all about purpose and creativity.

Last month’s April Fools’ prank that I pulled, actually inspired me in my writings again for this month. I also read some tragic news about a few bloggers that had died from stress. I came across an article from New York Times, that was shedding light on the blogging world.

It was sad to hear about the bloggers who left this world and others who are stressing out to get that next article out. I myself have decided not to be outcome based with this blogging, and just have fun with it. That’s the reason I only plan to update my front page once a week. It’s up to what is comfortable for me, and not feeling pressured to maintain a certain pace. If people comment that’s nice. If they don’t — no problem.

Same with the social networking — if people click me as a friend or link to me some way that’s cool, but if they don’t I’m not going to panic or feel like a failure. If they stop by my shop and purchase something my bottom line likes that, but if they don’t I have to keep finding the fun in what I’m doing, so I can keep moving forward.

I’m always looking for new places to go and things to do. I may revisit some areas that were spotlighted previously, but there’s so much stuff out there to see and that’s what I plan on doing. I am blogging with a purpose — a reason — to help me grow.

So here is that article and a few others about blogging, “In Web World of 24/7 Stress, Writers Blog Till They Drop”.
