Oh man, you'd be thinking on how to start a blog. Typing on this iPad isn't so easy to start with (just telling you). So, you want to start a blog? Just do it. Open up an account. Just do it. I did that. Look where it got me to. Nowhere. Haha. You know why?
Because:
1. I wasn't organized. I didn't organize what I wanted to blog. I'm just not organized. Next to me is a list of blog tittles. Kinda helping me with ideas of blog posts. I've listed them down. And now it is just for me to blog about them.
2. Too many excuses. I kept telling myself the reason my blog isn't moving is because of work. I've been postponing/abandoning my blog because of work. You know Liyana, there is this thing called scheduled post?
3. Trying to figure out what my blog is. This is what they call rebranding. Was it a brand to begin with? I've decided what this blog should be. A lifestyle blog. It can be about anything. My experiences. But I'll write it in a diary kinda way. They say, "relatable". Hence the change in the About The Blog section.
"This is a blog for me, the author, to share my experience (so far) to the world. This is a sort of diary of mine. I'll never know who is reading my blog. So, thank you for visiting you wonderful person!"
4. I have expectations. High expectations which I should lower down. I started blogging since 2007. Yes, I blogged since 2009. Aaaah, those years of immaturity at blogging. I blogged about emo stuff. I thought I was great back then. I thought my photos were great! They were great back then! I look back, they looked shit. Well, you know? You get a DSLR and you immediately call yourself a photographer. Hahahaha! What the hell was I thinking? I read so many blogs (another post on that). I followed Song of Style. Drew her, thought it was the bomb! Hella ugly. I also looked at the way I wrote my blog. You would puke reading it. I puked! Oh, those years. You don't see those post since 2007 because I've changed and moved blogs so many times. I kept reading blogs and my expectation of my blog became different. I wanted my blog to be just like those blogs I read. I was sucked into the blogging world. I started learning how to do HTML. Well, I didn't learn. I copied what I wanted. I looked for the codes. I'm a bit lost nowadays. Nowadays, I buy templates. Why? Because I can afford to buy a layout. The real answers is: I'm Lazy.
I hope you've enjoyed reading this. I enjoyed writing this post. More to come. I promise.
