Is it a Mood Swing, or maybe A Hot Flash…??
July 3rd, 2008 categories: Charlotte Area News, Off-the-Wall, Real Estate News, Seller Info
You ever just stop and think? …or maybe want to? I haven’t had to the chance lately to really do this, but I have been doing a lot of thinking regarding my blog and the direction I want it to go and how to fully engage in the incredibly world of social networking.
One thought that hit me, within the past two weeks or so, is the tone in my blog. Blogging, in my opinion is a lot of fun. It has also been surprisingly pretty hard work.
Recently my site was hacked into, and you might have seen a brief post on that. With the help of my friends over at the Tomato, we have restored things pretty much back to normal. During the up and down period, I found myself frustrated about the inability to post, and hated seeing my blog sort of operating on six of eight cylinders.
But you know, I sort of came to a point, where I just thought “..it is what it is..” things happen. Life will go on, and having a wounded blog is far from being catastrophic. One thing, though, is that it gave me some time to ponder any changes I want to make.
Perhaps the most major change I want to make is more philosophical. It’s easy to use a blog as sort of a platform to tell the world how smart you are. That’s probably ok for the most part, but one thing I find is that it’s pretty easy to start “pounding the podium” on a topic. Part of that just comes from the passion of believing in your topic, but sometimes it feels way to heavy-handed for my style.
So, my thinking is, that from now on, I am going to be especially cognizant of the tone I am taking. This blog exists to provide people with good, solid information, of course heavily slanted toward real estate. A key thing though, is that it should be fun. I love funny and/or creative things, so I am of the firm belief my blog should be that way.
Maybe this all sounds a little melodramatic or self-serving, but it’s not intended that way. Just the contemplative mood I find myself in this morning. Maybe, like the title says, not a mood swing but something else. Who knows…
By the way – it’s Fourth of July weekend…!! wooo hoooo… what a great country we have.
Happy Fourthing to you….
