As you know I’m taking part in Probloggers 31 days to building a better blog challenge. Last Thursday we got the assignment to create a sneeze page. “The idea is simple – to create a page that propels people in different directions deep within your blog by highlighting a variety of posts that you’ve previously written.”
I looked into the statistics of my blog and realized there are older posts on my blog that hardly anyone has viewed let alone commented on. For whatever reason, these posts haven’t been seen so I thought, why not dig them up and present them in a sneeze page for you. Today’s assignment is “breathe life into an old post” which means as much as give a post an overhaul to get it up to par with the rest of your blog. I realize now that those early posts (I’m talking about them like I wrote them ages ago, although it feels that way they are at most less than two months old.) are written differently than the current posts and although the concepts are there, some of those diamonds are still stuck deeply in the rough.
I will be exploring the concepts of those earlier posts in the near future but as it stands I would like to present you with the unseen posts of my blog:
Exploring beginner’s mind about the key of zen and preconceptions
Is logic really that logic about reacting vs responding
To blog or not to blog exploring reasons to blog
Is that a mountain? A post about the mental mountains I’ve talked about several times
Stand still please, the future will still be there tomorrow Getting your mind out of the future and into the now
I hope these earlier posts provide with a nice read. Bear in mind they are a bit rough around the edges but I’m slowly getting a better feel for writing as I hope you’ve noticed. Your feedback and comments are greatly appreciated.
Have a nice read
Nice site! If it helps you bypass the analytics, I found your site through Jonathan Mead’s Illuminated Mind blog. There, that was simple! :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts on zen and blogging. Best wishes to you.
Christiaan, those posts did provide me with a nice read. One thing I like about your blog is your shorter length posts. Mine are so long, but I just can’t seem to stop writing once I start. :-)
Good job here and good luck! I’m pretty new at this too. I only started in January.
I have been rereading some of your posts. (They hold up well after all that time. : – }
I was just reading one of my favorite bloggers who wants to write at least 1000 words each day. I think I’ll keep my post to around 400-600 as that seems just right to get through them quick enough and at the same time convey what I want.
Writing longer posts does come easier every day. I was struggling with 300 words in the beginning, now I have to stop myself sometimes. (Or it’s just that I feel more comfortable ranting… )
Thanks :) I do my best
