In case you’ve been living under a rock most of your life and just discovered blogging, I feel there’s something you ought to know in case you get lazy and start to think of just copying somebody else’s work and pass it as your own, in which one of my blog buddies have gone through before. Be familiar with the logos below and make sure you read what follows it.

So I’ve been staring at my blog for quite some time now thinking of writing something and realize I don’t have any idea what to write about.
So I did a google search for “what bloggers blog about” and clicked on this link.
It was an interesting read. Here’s a quote that struck the nerve:
In the last month I’ve seen a few blogs stumble. Some have disappeared altogether, others are are still kicking about but are updated infrequently, which ultimately is just the same as if they had ceased to exist.
There were reasons stated as commonly given by bloggers that stopped blogging. I would’ve said it was because of writer’s block but thinking more about it, it’s more of a motivation thing.
So how do you motivate yourself to blog? Why even bother to blog at all?
Let’s take the economic route first.
If you bought a domain and subscribed to a hosting service, then you should be blogging about something. Blog about your host. Blog about how cool your domain is. Blog about how much traffic (or lack of it) you get each day. Why do all those things? Because you paid someone to show your whatever you want to show, of course, as long as it’s allowed by the TOS. So you can’t show porn pics, excessive violence, etc. that goes against the TOS. But still, you’re already shelling out moolah that should’ve been for more important matters. Just simply get what you pay for, and more if you can. Because $20 a month is steep. Luckily for me, I found a hosting service that provides very cheap hosting service bundled with a couple of domains already. I get the same features at a quarter of the cost I used to have. Talk about being cost-efficient.

Recently moved servers and just launched Shutterview.net. Almost had no problems.
I never thought I’d see it again, but I did. Recently, I received an email asking for people to include their Name and Country as a sign of signing the petition to stop a movie being produced. This movie is said to be blasphemous and depicts of Jesus Christ and his disciples engaging in homosexual practices.
Yes. You know what I’m talking about. The Corpus Christi or Body of Christ email.
I received this email about 5 years ago. I hope people start wising up and NOT pass around email that is obviously junk. Click here to see proof that it is junk.
In line with this, I feel compelled to give advise to everyone reading this post, blog, whatever. Here’s what I suggest you do before you decide to hit the forward button in the event that an email says that you will lose your fortune in 5 minutes if you don’t pass the message to 500 people. You might call it harmless. I call it spamming.
Those chain letters, Padre Pio’s bread, or whatever, may contain good grammar that shows noble intentions, but all it wants you to do is waste your time. Here’s a thought. Whenever you get an email like that, turn off the computer, step away from your dekstop and pick up a book, any book, and let your BGA work for you.
