It Keeps Happening Like This

Well, here I am again, trying to make a comeback? Not exactly, but I still want to keep a few people updated. I took a break, over the entire month of May you could say, but it feels almost longer, like all spring I have not written. I needed a break too, it was just too stressful to try to keep working, but when I would read my emails coming in from blogging resources I did not even have time to pay attention to some of those, so I pretty much dropped out of blogging.

I am like an ex-spy or agent, who must get back into the business, but so many new things have happened, new technology, new resources, new people, everything would be unfamiliar, and the only thing still good are the skills, hopefully not outdated. So by no means am I going to try to make this blog up and running again, but I am still going to try to carry out plans with green flamingo designs. I will try to keep everyone posted, and see what I can do about this blog, but I think I have run out of content for the blogging tips niche, because I have not beeen around to find new tips, so I cannot possibly pass them on to others.

I will still keep myself updated on new blogging tools, so I can use in other niches I pursue, and hopefully they will come in handy.

For now I’m back, but maybe not forever.

Review Winner

Last night I had a post in mind for very early this morning, unfortunately that did not work out, because I forgot. I might remember later, I almost did, but not quite.

Even though it was an idea for a great post, I think I might have to shift the focus of this blog once more anyway. I am trying to provide quality articles that really help you out or show you something, but today Jason made me notice that I am not always unique in content, because 50 million other bloggers are giving the same information.

I could go with more of an opinion on things for my posts, but it still uses the same topic and that can be very boring. I am trying to find an actual “niche” for this blog, I may stick it onto young entrepreneur and Internet marketing while I blog about blogging, but not about “blogging tips.” I think I have some ideas, I will continue later.

I do not need to list all the upcoming things I might have yet, I am going to have a post encouraging suggestions, though I do highly encourage suggestions on this post as well.

I also want to announce the winner of the review, the first of many I hope, and this weeks winner is…Big Ben Patton of Big Ben Patton’s Place! Look for the review tomorrow!

Also, today I spent a lot of time working on my new site, loking for themes and tweaking them, helping the author to write articles, things like that. See you later!

How I am Rolling

I have decided to change what I do and how this blog runs a bit. I am just going to write what comes to me, and it may not be in the make money online niche. The only reason I joined the MMO niche was to gain more acceptance from the other MMO bloggers and social networking places. To back up this decision, I received some very good advice – that helped change the way things roll here.

Try writing for yourself, to please yourself for awhile and forget the stats. If you aren’t pleasing yourself you aren’t pleasing your readers. And no more apologies about not posting!!! As far as your readers know you could be off on some super-secret mission. No apologies, just post more if you feel bad about not posting. Also don’t write about your lack of readers. And proof your posts more…sometime spellcheck doesn’t catch everything.

Some of your strongest posts have been your reviews. When you write about yourself it’s good too (use more paragraphing though). And I heard that Twitter is a good way to build a blog following, but I don’t know how exactly.

Just read a LOT of blogs. 5-10 new ones every day. Comment there with something funny or insightful or helpful, and then be sure you have great posts up on your blog for them to see when they check back. I don’t know another way. But it always does start with good writing, so please yourself with that.

So I thank Karen, from LightSpring Transformations, who is guiding you to your inner light. I am just going to blog and write how I want to, with the niche of new and helpful things, reviews, and so on. Those are where my best posts fall in, and the MMO will not be lost, but it won’t be the only niche that Green Flamingo is in. I will start of this new way with creating a new category called daily ramblings and post one there.
