I agree, it's quite depressing in a way to see how a blog dies in a way. I really wish to simply express my thoughts, maybe give advice to people on subjects that I have experience with, mostly household stuff, cooking, organizing, etc. I see that many people have troubles with cleaning and decluttering, for example. And I wonder why do they post forum threads instead of looking it up on the internet? Could it be because they don't find a solution to their issue? I don't really want to be one of those famous bloggers out there. Rather want to have something I can call my own and put my heart to it and hopefully people will like it. All ideas are quite mushy in my head, to be honest... ------- "A blog needs readers or else you might as well find another creative outlet" I thought writing comes first and readers later on. And maybe if people find some value in what I have to say, they will share the blog with other people and so on.
