Why I Blog the Way I Do

Sebastian ruminates on what he wants his blog to be. This is my answer to that, sharing what I think a blog is for. At the end of the day, my blog is for me and no one else.

@jimmitchell What a brilliant answer. Thank you for explaining exactly how it works in your case, Jim. @alexandra has done the same on her blog. I can see similarities in both your approaches. I’m still learning how to write about everything, but I think I’m about halfway there. I used to have themed blogs. Now I write about all sorts of things and share my observations. I’m curious to see where this will take me next. What sort of blog format will I end up with? It really is a great journey.

@bstn I stopped worrying about categories and try not to focus on those, rather than just writing a post. Otherwise you get too caught up on categories and narrowing your blog to a set list.
