Blog From Cebu To The World

Wow! 32 days without a new post! This is a new personal record for me, a record which is not good at all. The long period without posting anything is like I’m slowly killing my own blog. Less updates, fewer visitors, less Google-love, lesser revenues.

In my past post about “What Keeps You from Posting Regularly?”, I wrote this:

Pacquiao vs Cotto round by round results as imagined by this blogger. The fight will happen in less than 10 days so be sure to watch Pacquiao vs Cotto live on your PC, TV or in the nearest movie theatre. (Tickets at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas might have been sold out already, so you better watch it on pay-per-view). I don’t mind whatever prediction you have on your brains right now. This one is mine, and I am enjoying myself as I typed the words for this post.

Three of the influenza bloggers were very busy chasing traffic early this week. We even competed against each other. Bloggista wrote about it here, and Thirdworldgeek had his take here, too. If you don’t know what I mean, just take a look at my last four posts. Names, names, names. These are the names of those who passed the October 2009 CPA Board Exams.

Are there any cheats for Farm Town apps at Facebook? The Farmtown cheats idea just popped up in my mind though I have another post in my draft folder waiting to be completed. One of my excuses right now for not updating, is Facebook. Particularly that game Farm Town.

Am I alone in this? Practically almost half of my FB friends are playing Farm Town. Obsession in farming, huh? If you’d believe me, my first choice when I took the UPCAT 19 years ago was BS Agriculture for UPLB. I wanted to be a farmer then. Even my aptitude test results led to Agriculture. I ended up taking another BSA instead, BS Accountancy. So there goes my dream of being a farmer… until Farm Town.

How to come up with a good blog post in just 30 minutes? Can you do it? Well, think about an essay question in high school wherein you have to pass your paper in 30 minutes, finished or unfinished. I’m sure you’ve done it. But whether it’s good or badly written, the teacher is your judge. In a blogger’s case, the readers are the judges.

Actually, I’m pressing for time as of this moment. In 30 minutes, a very important meeting will have to start. So while waiting for my boss and colleagues to arrive, I write this post. Here are my 5 suggestions in how to come up with a good blog post in just 30 minutes.

“Blog about your passion.” I am sure you have heard of it. I heard of this statement many times before when I first started out and the blogs that I read then were mostly not involved in the monetization wave. And so I started with some “Thoughts” blog, and wrote just about anything that comes to mind. The first comment I received made my eyes twinkle and my heartbeat faster. My fingers were aching to type more.

What was it that I was passionate about? Am I blogging about my passion? Plenty of us probably don’t know about niche blogging when we started out, so our early blogs were of the general type. Or shall we say, a little of everything.

Admittedly, there aren’t many posts here unlike the early days of this site. And sometimes, the posts that I made were targeted at search engine users. Board exam results here, boxing results there. These led me to reread one of my early posts: For whom do you blog?

I guess we have our various reasons for blogging. It may not be as noble as others would expect us to do. Why do we blog in the first place? I got my 5 reasons why I blog. You may even have yours too and wrote about it. Have you read the article about blogging’s effect to the brain? No, blogging won’t be your entry to the mental hospital. LOL!

This question floated in my mind for sometime now along with the question as to why do I blog. Am I just blogging for myself or for someone? Are the bloggers in my circle blogging for their selves, for search engines or for the readers like me? Or are we just rambling words, typing and conversing with ourselves and the PCs?

Maybe you who happen to read this may have a ready answer in mind. Or maybe you don’t, and is facing a dilemma as to what you should write because a particular group wants this, and another wants that, and you want to blog about your love life. Maybe your blogging idol wrote something that seems like telling you not to blog about your personal life because it is uninteresting. Or it could also be that someone barges in to your site and tells you not to blog about SEO and money making because you are not an expert on it or that you have no real blogging earnings to boast of.

As bloggers, we have some expectations as to the frequency of our own posts. We certainly don’t want our readers to keep on waiting, and eventually leave us. Here now, gone later. Unless maybe we have some prior announcements like saying, the next release of this series is on Christmas of 2008. But if we’re only expecting a 700-words post, you must be kidding with your announcement, my friend.
