Should I Continue Blogging?

Posted: August 24, 2009 in Uncategorized

This is my 300th blog entry. I feel like I’ve accomplished what I’ve wanted to in the two years that I have been blogging. Not having a regular pull-pit, this gives me an outlet to express my views on a regular basis. I know I have family who reads the blog regularly to keep up with what’s happening with my family; but the truth is that the stand along blog sites (like trenidydavis.com) is already a passing fad. Social sites, like Facebook, come built in with aggregators that allow everyone to easily blog, post pictures, and interact with each other. There are not as many people left who visit stand alone sites. I’m praying/considering writing some discipleship material, but I’m looking for some direction. So if you will please comment and let me know if you think I should keep this blog going, in its current form. I’m not looking for an ego boost (chances are may not get one anyway), but I’m simply trying to find out if there is a large enough audience out there to justify keeping the site. I’ll keep this post up for a couple of weeks and see what kind of response I get, and then I’ll make my decision.

Thanks,

Trenidy

    I don’t think it’s the size of the audience, but who your audience is. I blog because I enjoy it, as you say, an outlet. The few people who read my blog are the ones I care about.
    Hope you continue.

    I don’t know enough to suggest which medium you should use; but, I do tune in now and then when I need a boost. Usually I find something encouraging to start the day. Your talented, TD. You have a unique way of presenting Christian principles in “every day” (vs. an overly pius) way — and very often with that one-of-a-kind great sense of humor you have. So, all that to say this, I hope you keep it up.

    TD, I’m not gifted enough to express proper sentiments…….I’ll have to borrow someone else’s words:

    Just a small town girl
    Livin’ in a lonely world
    She took the midnight train goin’ anywhere

    Just a city boy
    Born and raised in south Detroit
    He took the midnight train goin’ anywhere

    A singer in a smoky room
    A smell of wine and cheap perfume
    For a smile they can share the night
    It goes on and on and on and on

    Strangers waiting
    Up and down the boulevard
    Their shadows searching in the night
    Streetlight people
    Living just to find emotion
    Hiding somewhere in the night

    Working hard to get my fill
    Everybody wants a thrill
    Payin’ anything to roll the dice just one more time

    Some will win, some will lose
    Some were born to sing the blues
    Oh, the movie never ends
    It goes on and on and on and on

    Strangers waiting
    Up and down the boulevard
    Their shadows searching in the night
    Streetlight people
    Living just to find emotion
    Hiding somewhere in the night

    Don’t stop believin’
    Hold on to that feelin’
    Streetlight people

    Don’t stop believin’
    Hold on
    Streetlight people

    Don’t stop believin’
    Hold on to that feelin’
    Streetlight people
