Blog From Cebu To The World

A few months ago, in a forum somewhere, a thread caught my attention. The title kept on coming back to me, hence, this post.

What is serious blogging? In the simplest definition, blogging is writing and posting entries for your blog. And being serious is being earnest, sincere and dedicated in your blogging. There are millions of blogs out there, and as a blogger you might also have read or bumped into hundreds, if not thousands of blogs from all over the world. Based on our own experience, do we know who these serious bloggers are?

Did you ever wonder why Batman, Spiderman, Zorro and other superheroes wear masks? Superman does something with his hairstyle for people not to recognize him. Ninjas and robbers wear masks too. Some rallyists do wear masks. Naked campus runners put on something to cover their faces. They do not want their real identities revealed. Will it also be the same with blogging? Do you have to wear a mask?

In my first post, I wrote something that said “I have no concrete plan for this blog”. But at the back of my mind, there really is.

In reality, most wannabe bloggers out there don’t have any concrete plans. They just want to ride with the current ‘cool’ blogger tag or the monetization wave. But it is not necessarily wrong. That is theirs anyway, and they can kill and roast their blogs anytime they want. I’ve been there. I’ve buried blogs which I think no longer served its purpose.

Oh, com’mon! Where’s the fun in blogging when you have everything planned? Place some rooms for spontaneity, fun and the crap our brain often excretes. Who needs a blog plan, anyway?

I am no longer new to blogging as I have been blogging for almost two years now. But when I started blogging, I really had no idea what to write about. So I read other blogs, both excellent and crappy. I just learned from them.
