Sometimes we just find something interesting and can't wait to share with others.Well, it turned to be no one cares. So should we write for ourselves or just for our readers? It's a sad question to ask. It is always put me into dilemma.What’s the propers for us to write a post?

I found that with BloggingTips when I wrote some css posts ie. the css posts I wrote which took hours to write were getting less comments than posts which took me 10 minutes to write.

SOMEONE must be interested in the same stuff as me? Or am I destined to talk to myself through my blog for the rest of my life? I have a great design (er, at least I think so!), writing skills (well, most of the time...at 3 AM I'm not always the best, but who is?) and all that. I guess what this comes to, is how can I get my blog out there for people to find (and criticize if they so choose) :?: Oh and by the way, I listed my blog, but when I think of a better name :oops: the name will probably be changed I think my problem is simply that NOTHING I write will interest others :sad: I’m random at times, goofy, and the majority of the time, extremely passionate about causes like child abuse, pediatric cancer, etc…how do I get others who can enjoy my blog to my blog?

What response am I looking for? Could there be any misunderstandings?" I completely agree with this. Most bloggers have to answer themselves these questions. “So before you publish a pillar article, check your post for these simple things:

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 19:16:26 +0000 http://www.bloggingtips.com/?p=2931#comment-244608 It's kinda sad. Even after really considering your target audience, sometimes a blog post that you've really poured your heart into or are especially proud of can seem to go by unnoticed or even draw unexpected responses. I usually do try to put myself in my site visitors' shoes so that my posts will have some interest but I'll admit that on rare occasions, my blog also serves as a bit of a brain dump for me - if I've got something I know I might want or need to reference much later, I sometimes will blog about it so I can easily go back and reference it weeks or months down the road.
