So here’s a short digression from the usual run-of-the-mill WordPress development post for you:
Do you maintain any type of personal blog?
The reason I ask is because, as if it isn’t evident enough, I’m kind of a fan of this whole blogging thing. But the idea of managing any type of personal blog is something that comes with a set of choices. I’ll talk more about that more in a minute.
I think it gets a little more complicated when:
- You have friends and/or a following who are also online.
- You have kids you want to share things about but don’t want to share photos of them because of reasons.
- You care about data ownership, so you’re not willing to necessarily share the information on other publishing platforms.
- And other reasons (or maybe not depending on who you are).
Yes, I have a personal blog and no I don’t really use any other social networks (though I have accounts, they are basically placeholders). Furthermore, I don’t normally promote those posts anywhere else.
I publish, and it goes into the ether than is The Google.
Part of it because I ask myself: Who cares? After all, this site is the one I write for the most and that I enjoy writing for the most.
That’s just me, though.
But I’m specifically curious how you deal with aspects mentioned above when it comes to blogging that’s not directly related to some aspect of your profession and whether or not you’d like to do it or not.
