Green Flamingobecause I said so

This post has turned into some of my best work, so go ahead and read it! The post helps you consider what to do going into blogging, during blogging, and on the verge of quitting blogging.

Before you start a website, you have to think it through. I have said before that you have to just jump out there and do it, but that is difference. Look in a clearer light, look through water actually, and you will see what I mean.

You must take the jump when there is something stopping you, for if there is something slowing you down you have to get past that wall.

You should remember hearing that you have to take the jump, land successfully and be in the spirit to start and succeed. This is true to get over anything that is stopping you. You have to flip over that worry and fear, the fear of imperfection or the pressure built up. Follow the path of where you need to go, where you need to start, and you will reach the treasure.

You must assure you self with confidence that you are ready to face the challenges that a blogger has.

Before the stage where you have to jump, then you must think through what you plan to do and the challenges you face. You must confront these problems with a key, so you know how to solve the puzzle. You must find the trapdoors, and later you must get around them. You have to wonder if you will have enough time to put into your projects, and must know if they will be successful enough for you to sacrifice time for. The valuable time that you spend blogging can cost you.

Even if there are traps, you must confront them somehow.

Just because you have trouble blogging doesn’t mean you should give up and quit right away. If you do so then the time you spent will feel to you as a waste. Two things for you: do not give up at every tough spot; and if you do have to quit the time you spent was by no means a waste. You should also know that you cannot flee from your fears and troubles. The challenges that you face must be dealt with, do not run from them, play them. Here is what you do for traps:

” I sense a trap.”

” Next move?”

” Spring the trap.”

(If you don’t know that is from star wars.)

Love what you do, or else there is no point.

As shown to me by myself and a fellow blogger, you must love what you do for it to be successful. To me this applies practically everywhere, but for some it may be in only blogging. Basically, if you do not enjoy what you do then your work will not standout and shine making others not enjoy it as much. If you put love into your work, the work will reflect that love and joy.

Try new things.

Having to love what you do does not mean you shouldn’t try new things. Experimenting is something crucial in many aspects of life, and blogging is one of them. So go out and see what you can do!

This post was written very well I think, surprisingly well for what mood I am in. Writing this has caused me to notice these tips, and they reflect on me and what I try to do. I have had not the best day, but I have noticed what I wrote and I am feeling more in the spirit now. I hope these tips have done the same for you and that you will treasure them to remember when you are on the verge of a blogging breakdown.

A few days ago, with a little help, I set up a website. This website is not currently public, it is all through localhost. I have installed wordpress, and I have found a few themes that are really nice. And thinking of good themes, you should join Blog Premire Forum. It has everything from A-Z or from Wordpress themes to offline marketing.

As the title states, it seems I am starting all over again with a website, how that first post made such a difference, and I am doing that now. Since this site is about interior design, I am very picky about the design. Over the past few days, I have found 3 themes that I really like, and those will remain a secret. In this post it is only an introductory to the site. I am hoping that I can give separate posts through subscriptions, and then if you subscribe, I will give you behind the scenes articles and tell you how the design is coming along in more detail and how the site will work. Why I am doing that is the behind the scenes things will most likely be extremely good content, not that this isn’t, but it would be good if you subscribed. So, I am setting up all the details, starting to write on that site and get the pages in, and tweaking the design to my liking. After that all I need to do is buy a domain, host it, and I’m on the go. The final step from there is marketing it or milking it to perfection by attracting viewers who will purchase from me, then if that gets popular I can start other sites and make money from those, and there I am a top designer and Internet marketer! Wish me luck and see you soon.

The title partially comes from a category on lionandmagicboy.com, which is titled “children? what children?” You may be wondering why I am posting at 11 am on a Tuesday, and yes that is a little weird. In a recent post of mine, I talked about wondering if you should tell why you were away and not blogging. I did say you should tell why, but it doesn’t have to be a whole post of why. That would be wrong. People don’t want to hear how you etc, etc, etc, they want to hear something that is new to them, unique and something they will enjoy. I have been sick, which is defiantly not pleasant. I won’t tell you the details for as I said, people don’t always want to know. Now at 5:30, finishing the post I started at 11 am, I am not feeling as bad. I hope I can find some interesting content to talk about.

So. Now I have decided to finally stop the votes. I think it may have been because I said the poll would end a few days ago and then forgot about that.

Becoming a ninja does not seem to be an easy thing. I started it one day when Serena said it was time and gave me and my friend Dylan a test. After the test, we began our training. We have not trained together in a long time but that does not prevent me from training on my own.

To be a ninja, you need to be flexible, strong, brave, agile, and many other things. Last week was when I really started meditating. I stretched as much as I could and tried to practice ninja skills such as jumping. Here is a little video that shows some ninjas. You may want to also search “urban ninja” to see more or something else related.

(Sorry I couldn’t embed the video. It was all messed up). If you don’t believe that they were doing that, it’s ok, maybe those people aren’t actually doing what it looks like. But there are people that can do that, and I hope to be similar. Ninja skills are very hard. But I think if you try hard enough, you can master them like the people in the video.

To all you readers of green-flamingo, I just want to make sure that you are voting. Not because it’s “Super Tuesday” around here, but the poll on my blog. Scroll down a little ways and you will see it. I am going to write in detail or more about one of the subjects. The poll ends February 6 at 9:00 (I may extend it, and the poll won’t actually close, so if you vote after I may not notice) Eastern time zone. (plus five hours is that time is more recognized by I think) . Just giving you the update. I you have already voted thank you, your contributions are important.

Just a little planning I may have for this blog, maybe a contest, I won’t tell you what it’s about because then you’d study beforehand. The only problem with that is I don’t know what the prize would be. If you have any suggestions for a prize, please email me at yoda19@bluebottle.com or leave a comment. You may even have a mention just for giving a good suggestion so if you want you can leave your name and website. NO SPAM PLEASE! I hate dealing with spam. So the things to remember as you leave green-flamingo, vote and think about a prize. I hope it all turns out well!
