I haven’t done much with this blog lately. It’s not that I don’t enjoy the subject. Quite the opposite.  It’s just that I haven’t had a lot of time to write what I would really like to write. Part of problem is that I work a ton of hours each week.  Another problem I face is that I still have a lot to learn. Most of what I’ve posted is done in my excitement of recently learning something new. While I was training for a triathlon I couldn’t seem to read enough about the subject. When I did learn something new, I wanted to share it with my own spin. Not many of my friends wanted to listen so I posted it to the world via a blog. Anyone who cared to read and could find it would hear my take on things. It was my way of being part of the collective of learning. Learning and sharing. I’d like to be some kind of guru but I’m not. I have just as much to learn as any beginner. While I enjoy fitness, being healthy, the outdoors, and even preparing to participate, I’m not an expert.
Another piece to my blogging is the medium itself. It’s been fascinating to learn how to build a website, what drives readership, search engines and even the world of advertising and affiliates. There are so many types of blogs. There are “cotton candy” sites whose sole purpose is to drive traffic and sell ads to purists who write only their passions regardless of readers and money. Everyone finds their audience; big or small. I’ve experimented with both ends of the spectrum. Curiosity has led me to complete a triathlon, hike a new canyon or peak and it’s led me to write posts that were laden with search words and affiliate links just to see what would happen. I can honestly say pimping a blog post has been the least rewarding. Each time I write it’s about something I found most interesting that day.
What types of post will I write in the future? Whatever I feel like. How often will I write? Whenever I feel like it.
