@alexandra You’re right. I hope so, but my currently situation is comfortable as well so I don’t plan to force any changes. Interestingly, that’s something I’ve had to learn whilst blogging over the last two years.

@jimmitchell @alexandra Yep. The comparison with a garbage is brilliant. I’m not yet open enough to write about more personal things, but that doesn’t bother me in the slightest. Maybe that’s just the way I am. Every now and then, I discover that I approach writing about various topics in a completely different way (namely, more openly). And that’s all thanks to blogging and the fact that I have a blog about everything. I don’t limit myself to any particular topic (though some topics do feature more prominently). It’s a very liberating feeling. This is the first time I’ve run a blog in this style. Until now, I’d blogged on a single topic and, after a while, closed the blog to start another one on a different subject. It was a vicious circle.

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.

@jimmitchell That’s an interesting idea. Let us know how it works out.

@Richard_Littler how I agree with you.

Fortunately, I don't use it.

I love when I browse another blogger’s site and find them using an appealing web font. I especially like when that font is available to use freely. Thanks to Sebastian, I’ve updated the faces on my site to DM Sans and I think it works pretty well in the overall design.

@sylvia I love experimenting with CSS as well. This is always a bunch of lessons and fun.

@jimmitchell Oh, thank you! I think DM Sans can looks great in every site. I’m glad my blog has been an inspiration to you.

My thoughts about two different ways of blogging.

Are you agree or not? I'd love to hear your opinion.

@jac You can always give it a go, and then opt out later if you decide you’d rather not have them switched on after all.
