no pictures in the cloud

surreal. how i haven't typed in here for so long. it's so easy to just shrug it off really. after a hard day's work, or just the whizz bang of too many rehearsals going on, or the day to day meeting ups with friends.. and the ever pertinent question "what do you read this blog for?"

this blog doesn't really have a niche, so in that sense there really isn't a target audience. and in that sense, i guess you don't really grow an audience when your content isn't constant either.

i'm sorry if you've been visiting regularly the past six years and all of a sudden, i just make the excuse of being too busy to blog.

but 'tis the truth, it's hard to maintain a blog when you're spread thin. there are ways to discipline yourself to blog regularly, but i guess i'm not that disciplined. though i ought to be.

and i never thought it'd be this way, but typing in your has sorta become unfamiliar.

updating twitter on the other hand is super simple, and i think i've been maintaining my online presence through the use of facebook and twitter more than this blog.

but i suppose there's a lesson in all this, and that is.. there are pros and cons in whatever channel you choose to engage with your audience in, but if you want to be a good social media practitioner, you have to keep engaging in some form or another.

I wonder if one can grow a blog if he/she is constantly inconsistent.

The readers that come are those who identify with you, rather than to the specific topics you talk about and I guess in that sense, the crowd does grow. (if you blog regularly lar..)

Anyway, good luck in keeping this blog up. 6 yrs is a lot to just throw it all away.

@krisandro: wah! thanks for the comment! So nice to know that people are still reading.. heh~ yeahhh.. i wonder about that too.. and i guess it really helps if you just update constantly huh?

I had the same concerns before too. But I realized that I blog for myself and to the very few who do drop by to read it.

However, I totally agree with krisandro in that readers who return to your blog are those who identify with you. Just keep on doing what you're doing and you're bound to find a following.

I've been blogging for about the same time as you (if you started in 2003) and the fact that we've managed to keep a blog for that long is quite extraordinary already. I realized that my blog has progressed through the years and I'm sure you've seen yours grow as well.

Keep posting. There will always be people who will be reading.

@Niki: haha, that's true. I guess the trick really is to just keep blogging, regardless of where you are in life. -)
