Blogging Journey

I’ve been blogging for the almost four years already since 2005. I started out blogging because many people were starting to blog at that time. It seemed kind of like an ‘in’ thing back then.

When I first started, I was kind of lost. I would normally write a post and leave the blog for sometime before coming back to write another post because I really had no idea what to write about most of the time.

In 2006, I guess I retired from blogging by abandoning my blog (former blog was under MSN Spaces) for months until I revived it around March 2007 (The current blog you are reading now).

My objective of blogging back then was just to write out what was going through my life at that moment. Then, all these things about earning money through blogging became a hot issue. So, I went into it too, subscribing to Nuffnang (The advert you can see on the side). I was so active back then, constantly thinking of what to blog and I would even have multiple blog posts in a single day too sometimes.

These continued until early 2008 which then I kind of got a little tired and started to blog just because I wanted to blog for fun, just really to write what I see, feel, experience in life, just like what is stated on the title under Teddy’s World. My blog has somehow become a tiny little book which I store my simple thoughts which I get either from myself or inspired from other’s blog posts.

Even though I haven’t been in this blogosphere for long, but I’ve noticed many come and go very fast. Just try to go through my links at the bottom, you will noticed many of the blogs no longer exist. This also shows the volatility of the relationship in the virtual world of the internet. Many people started out saying ‘Hi’, exchanging links, but then later just move on silently. Most of them drop by your blog just for the sake of getting you to go back to their blogs to help them earn money through those adverts. Many of these people don’t even bother reading what you write, which is another reason why I don’t actively blog for the adverts anymore as I feel that such relationships are so superficial and fake. I do drop by other blogs which have adverts, but it’s because I really find what they write interesting, hence indirectly contributing to their advert income.

I guess it’s time for me to do some spring cleaning and delete some of the dead links. Hehe.. Happy blogging…
