The Dormant Blog Dilemma
How could I abandon them?
With the internet changing so rapidly, being stuck in time with an archaic blog and writing to the obscure winds of vacant space within its outdated theme seems to be an exercise in futility at times. Yes, I can syndicate the content to places like Medium, yet what is the point of pointing them back to my blog anyway, and won’t that ruin the chances of the Medium article being indexed if by chance the site thought it worthy?
All of these thoughts and more run through the mind of the old blogger. The crux of the issue has always been strategy and the lack thereof. Honestly, the majority of my writing efforts online have been committed to the strategy and technical aspects of blog design, building, and formatting. What a waste to spend the majority of my writing time trying to face the huge and ever-changing learning curve of building a blog and creating an online writing strategy.
The importance of having a strategy of some sort is vital, yet in the back of my blogging mind, there has always been this longing for simplicity. What if I were to forget all the big ideas of blogging grandeur and just wrote like a simpleton who seemingly hasn’t even thought of strategy. For instance, what if I simply found one place to write and went to work without any doubt?
