My thoughts on…International Weblogger’s Day ‘07

June 14th 2007 -

Break out the bubbly, fellow bloggers! Today is International Weblogger’s Day, so go ahead, pat yourself on the back for your contributions to the blogosphere. The good ones anyway, not those “YouTube” blogs. Aside from my birthday, this is the closest I have to a personal holiday as I’m not a father or a mother. I checked my inbox this morning and there it was, an email informing me of the date and inviting me to post about the day. I’m still wondering how they got my Hotmail address and not my GMail address, the one I use on my blog. This made me feel a bit special and things like this are perks to blogging.

I haven’t gotten any as of late, as I feel as if I am giving more to blogging than I am getting in return. I spend hours brainstorming and scan various news sites just to come up with a single post. And since I don’t have Internet access (yet), I have to walk 15 minutes from home to use a cybercafe. And after I post, I have to comment on 4 or so blogs just to get a comment on that post. My site stats are a lie because 80% of my “readers” are actually surfers on blog exchanges, who only stick around for the required 30 seconds. No wonder I haven’t been motivated to post much lately. Well today I looked at the number of posts for June and realized that I only posted 4 for the month, and today’s the 14! That and today’s date made me renew my commitment to blogging. That special email made me realize that I am still important in the blogosphere, and my voice should remain strong. Happy International Weblogger’s Day!

My friend, you are important to the blogosphere and don’t think otherwise. Perhaps the job of blogging will become easier once you get internet access in your home.

I hope so as I enjoy your blog.
