Why I Subscribed To Your Blog

Angel — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:08:31 +0000

Welcome back! I know I’ve been absent from the blog. I’ve missed weeks of updates. I never would have thought in a million years I’d be too busy for my blog! Doesn’t that happen to people who have lives? I know I’ve lost readers with my inconsistency; however, I’ve organized my time to include blogging. I don’t know how I’m going to manage when I’m a full-time student. However, I’ve still been active online and subscribing/reading blogs regularly. I know many of you haven’t received a comment from me in months, but trust me, I’m up to date on everyone’s blog.

Have you ever wondered why other people subscribe to your blog? I know I wonder! At the moment, I currently have forty-five subscribers, at one point I had over eighty. I constantly asked myself why people were regularly reading my site’s updates. I certainly don’t feel that interesting. I didn’t know my posts appealed to the general public. I know it’s not “a lot” on web standards. Most blogs have thousands and thousands of regular readers. However, I know those blog owners wondered at one point, “Why are people reading this?”

According to my Google Dashboard, I’m subscribed to 669 RSS feeds. Of those 669, over seventy are personal blogs that I’ve raved over a few here and here in the past. So for those wondering how I acquired 669 RSS feeds in my Google Reader, here are a few reasons why I have subscribed to your blog:

I Can Read Your Posts

Let’s all give credit to those people who have grammatically correct blog posts. Honestly, I can’t subscribe to a blog that I struggle to read. English is a difficult language and I’m a bit more lenient to those bloggers who originate from other countries. However, for those bloggers who love to use StIcKy CaPs. ALL CAPS, Random!Punct.uation, bad formatting, horrible grammar, and terrible spelling, I just can’t take their blogs seriously. We all make errors when writing. Nobody’s perfect. However, when an effort isn’t made, I just can’t hit the subscribe button. It’s not the size of the blog that matters either. I’ve redirected my browser away from quite a few “popular” blogs due to terrible grammar. If you have an idea that you can’t get out correctly, there are plenty of freelance writers seeking employment.

You Have Personality

I can be put into the class of bloggers who don’t seem to have much personality. I’m not very funny, charming, or witty. However, I love bloggers who are! Have you ever read a blog and felt as if you knew the blogger for years? I love those blogs! I love those people who just bring out the best in everything they blog about. I guess the most memorable bloggers have the best personalities. Blogging isn’t just writing. Blogging is about you.

Inspiration Station

As a blogger striving to share inspiration with others, I love to be inspired by blogs full of inspiration. I guess this is where the design/wedding blogs that I’m subscribed to come in. Whenever I find myself in a design slump, I spend hours browsing my design RSS feed folder. There are many ways to be inspired, and I love blogs that offer inspiration in every post. Any creative blog offering positive inspiration catches my eye quickly. It is highly likely that I subscribe to a blog featuring inspiration in any form.

You’re Consistent

Even though I’m guilty of it myself, I can’t be bothered subscribing t0 blogs that never update. What’s the point? We all get busy. However, what’s the point of subscribing to a blog that updates three times a year? Why can’t I just visit whenever I get the time? It’s a waste of subscription space, and your blog will be lost amongst the other regularly updated blogs. I love bloggers who have the time to update multiple times a day. They keep me interested in everything they post. I love that they can dedicate their time to become full-time bloggers. It takes a lot (I’m learning) to schedule your blog into your busy life. Consistency of a blog will always keep me reading.

It’s Easier To Be Pleasant Than Angry

I enjoy a few angry posts, but people who are angry about everything are a huge turn-off in life and in blogging. I don’t think I could subscribe to a blog that is constantly complaining about everything. There’s always a bit of pleasantry in every blog that I’m subscribed to. We’re never going to be optimistic 100% of the time; however, if we take the time to share a bit of positivity, it spreads. If I’m having a bad day, I love to read about my fellow bloggers who are doing well. It makes me feel great to see good things happening to other people. I may be odd because I don’t believe in sharing misery. It’s just a lot easier to enjoy a happy blog.

There are plenty of other reasons why I subscribe to blogs. Some blogs just focus on content that I can always enjoy and relate to. I love design and technology so I’m more likely to subscribe to those types of blogs. Sometimes, I subscribe to blogs about lifestyles that are polar opposite of mines. I love to read about how other people live their lives. It may seem boring to others, but I just enjoy seeing how other’s days are spent. It’s a terrible curiosity of mines. There are plenty of reasons why anyone would read your blog, so if you don’t have any RSS readers, don’t worry. Someone out there is searching for your blog!

Happy Birthday David!

Sorry, I’m breaking from my regularly scheduled posting but today is my husband, David’s, 21st birthday! I’m so proud of him for everything he’s been doing this year. He’s productive, wonderful, caring, and pretty dorky. I think that’s a fine catch. You can hop on over to his site, HowsYourBlog and give him good wishes.

Pink for October Wallpaper 2009

Angel — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 20:34:40 +0000

Okay ladies and gentlemen, things are returning back to the way they should be. There will be a few more posts this week, including a wedding post that everyone’s been excited about. I’m so glad to have some time to put into my site! As you can see, or if you can’t see, Static-Romance has a new theme. It’s a temporary theme for the time being because I’m working on something very sexy and mysterious. If you want a sneak peek of what’s going on, take a peek at my Twitter page.

This week, I luckily have the next two days at home, so I’m putting my time to good usage. I noticed there weren’t many Pink for October wallpapers out this month which I think is pretty lame. I did two last year, so I decided to put one up for this year. Breast Cancer Awareness is so important. I think it’s best for people to spread awareness as best as they can. I hope you enjoy your week and remember to stay aware!

Book Two: Chapter One

Angel — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 10:02:29 +0000

I’m still so sorry about the lack of updates guys! The past few days have been so hectic. I’ve been sick, tired, and busy with the wedding stuff. There’s so much to do. I just wanted to write that in about 10 hours and six minutes, I’ll be starting a new book of my life. I know people say “a new chapter” but I think the past nineteen years have produced enough chapters to be its own book. I like to think of this chapter as the beginning of a bunch of great beginnings. There’s only going up from here.

I know there are many things that can go wrong, but I have faith. I believe in myself, my life, and my fiancé. It’s crazy to think that I am getting married in a few hours. I would have never thought in a million years that I would get married at all. It’s crazy how you think one thing and something different happens. I hope to spend the rest of my life with David and just live in complete bliss. It obviously won’t be peaches and cream, but things have never been that way from the beginning. I’m off to spend a few moments in thought before getting ready to leave.

Thank you guys for supporting Static-Romance for the past three years, and supporting the relationship that started this blog. You guys are awesome, and I have a lot in store of you this month.

In Sickness and In Health Right?

Sorry for the delay of posts. If you’ve been stalking me on Twitter, you’ve realized that I haven’t been feeling all that well. I was busy playing volleyball Saturday and came home to rest on Sunday. I was all ready to go and get my week started Monday when some very smart person in the vehicle ahead of us decided to stop harshly on breaks for no reason after leaving a green light. Due to us having to stop harshly, I have developed a bit of whiplash.

As if that’s not enough, I have some cold/sinus/tonsil thing going on at the same time. I’m just tired and I want to get things done. I can’t sit up too long without being in pain and it’s a pain! I’m getting married soon. I have planing to do, and I can’t get it done. Hopefully I’ll be feeling a bit better next week to return to semi full-time blogging. Have any ideas that you want to see for posts? I still have some posts set up in my drafts to finish. I hope to return to you all soon!
