Why do I blog?
I’ve re-asked myself this question several times and the answer has always changed in the past year or so I take it seriously.
At first, I was motivated by getting traffic, then the prospect of some cyber-girl oogling after me and later lulled by the potential to gain money.
My site has been dwindling in traffic for the past month ever since I started moving. That’s understandable due to the layout and less effort putting into writing an article. I no longer write with the intention of attracting traffics. I checked with myself and didn’t flinch a bit when the past weekend became the first one where I got 0 traffic.
Cyber-girl oogling? Ha! Nope, but I discovered that it doesn’t change anything
Potential of making money? Nah, the answer is still no.
I realized one thing when I am surfing now. That is, I immediately question the contents of a site once I see the appearance of an ad on it. It’s an over reaction of the current ad filled web. So for that, I shall never subject others to the same question. Their motivation is money and their opinions will be steered by money.
So what is the hidden motivation of my site when you read it? What should you take into consideration when I present a side of the coin? That will be to help others learn as I’ve learned. What you should be aware of when reading, is that I assume I know more than you on the subject and that you’ve never had the same thought in your mind or done the same things before.
Which will be central to the next few site update. After getting my ass handed to me by a few site designers and some community posted questions, I know what needs to be changed in my layout. I also noticed how long it loaded after I switched to Roger’s Portable Internet (This is a neat service, I should write about my experience later).
Once I get my computer desk delivered, I can finally start using pictures, restructure and work on creating a new subset of my site. My best friend Kirk and I wants to pursue our interest together and write about our culinary experiences in Montreal. His cooking style focuses on modernizing (i.e. making less expensive) traditional food while I veer off towards the realm of saucière. I didn’t invest in all those expensive kitchen appliances for nothing.
So, that’s it for now. Have fun in life.
