Whenever I see a blogger I know personally who is so inspired in posting one entry after another, I feel envious. Because I was once like that. Very inspired. In fact, more than inspired in posting entries. Imagine, most of the time I posted 3 entries a day!
But I guess it wouldn’t really be always like that. There would come a time when you’d feel you’ve reached the end of the line. Not really THE END but a break, if you must. I’ve reached that line.
I would like to re-start again. Just like the old times when I was so inspired to write and write and share whatever was on my mind. I am hoping this year will be it.

I have this overwhelming need to change the template of this blog. I think I’ve been using the same theme for the past two years. I don’t like the colors anymore. I want something more colorful. Red or fuchsia. Or yellow.
Still the same number of columns and the same sidebar content. Some tweaks and adjustments on the fonts to be used.
I would love the same header but of course it needs to be changed in color to whatever will be the overall color of the new theme I will use.
And I would love to write differently here. Back to the personal entries I used to dish out.

I miss Devilicious. She’s my blogging mentor. If not for her, I wouldn’t be where I am now. She taught me almost everything I know about blogging and monetizing a blog. She was generous in what she knew and never asked for anything in return.
I haven’t seen her online in months. Last I heard from her, she’s already back in the corporate grind. She’s not as active in blogging as she was in the past.
I miss her! And our almost daily chats. I wish she’d go back to blogging and be active once again.

I have always been not overly concerned with blog traffic. My policy in life is always to live and let live. In blogging, my thinking is that if you don’t like my blog/whatever I’ve written, then so be it. It’s your prerogative to leave, just as it’s my prerogative to write whatever I want to write about in this blog. If I don’t get enough traffic, I can only keep on writing and hope that I get to lure one or two more new visitors to subscribe to my feeds.
That’s it.
But recently, I realized that maintaining a certain interest in your readers is a must. I also need to go up the search pages so that I can get back my rank in this blog. Just like what I did with my other blog. Now it has a rank of 3.
That’s why in 2011, starting tomorrow that is, this blog will have more entries that will figure in the search engine results. I will also be writing entries that will hopefully interest you my readers more. Don’t worry, this will still be a personal blog but one that will have an added spice to perk this corner of the world wide web just a teeny weeny bit.
Happy blogging!

I should have known that it is very difficult to control something when you are just relying on someone’s generosity. I have learned this the hard way. I don’t know how to get around this issue and I don’t know the consequences of what happened. I just know that I am very happy it’s the only thing I have no control over.
I just wish I was prepared for it. I just wish that I didn’t dilly-dallied and was able to replace it. I was lucky I anticipated disappearance and all that so I set some things to capture what I did.
Oh well. Time to face the thing head on now!

I have been on a blogging hiatus just a few times in the past. Just two days or three but never for a long time. I just couldn’t stay away from my blog(s) for a long time. I had to take a peek even if I don’t feel like updating it.
In the past, I would update my blog not just once a day but several times a day. Sometimes up to five times a day when I just felt too full to the brim of ideas to share or stories to tell. I was that eager to blog.
Then comes a brief period wherein I always feel this need to take a break. I think it goes the same for a lot of people, even for non-bloggers.
I’ve been feeling the need to take a break for the past few weeks now. That’s why there is an irregular interval in my updates at the moment. I hope you bear with me. No, I am not going on a hiatus but this will be a break from regular updating.

I am feeling this itch to change themes. I’ve been using this theme for the past two years now, if I am not mistaken. I feel like it’s time to use a new one.
But I need to know what I really want first.
Hmm…
Plus, I need to work within a limited budget.
Any suggestions?

What do you blog about when you have nothing to blog about?
I look around me and blog about the first thing that inspires me to write. I have been in this situation hundreds of times in the past four years. There are days my mind is teeming with ideas. There are days when I find myself in a slump. And that’s when I rely on whatever is around me to blog about.
Or I will also blog about the show I am currently watching.
What about you?
