You guys know I like to pretend I know things. And among those things, I particularly like to feign expertise on blogging itself. I’ve gone on and on about how to blog. Or more precisely how not to blog since that’s really what I have the most experience with. However, there are all those other…
You all know I absolutely love a good collab. I mention it all the time. It can be challenging but I find it has a number of rewards you won’t get any other way. It forces you to adapt your writing style to someone else’s and to consider your explanation and description as if you’re…
Time sure files. I’ve only been doing this since January yet for two months in a row now, the end of the month catches up with me and I suddenly realize it’s discovery time!!!! I don’t know about you but as I am still stuck in the winter that will never end, I sure could…
Oh boy are we gonna have fun today! In short, I’m going to tell you the details I recently found out about search engine optimization and then come up with a flimsy excuse to explain away why I’m too lazy to do it. Let me set the scene:
I still haven’t figured out how to start posts. I’ve been only doing this for over a year….. Blogging is important to me in that it’s a hobby I enjoy. It’s also a hobby which I believe has a lot of great side benefits but in the end it’s still just a hobby. It’s an optional part…
It’s time, it’s here, it’s finally come!!!… cause I was too lazy to write this earlier! But now, we can dig into the results of that little project we all did together a few weeks ago and find out how most consider subsidizing blogs. I want to really thank everyone who shared the post in…
Can you all believe it!?! We actually made it to the SECOND I Drink and Watch Anime and Discover New Anime Blogs post! Yeah…I had a whole month and I didn’t come up with a better title. For those of you who are new here, let me catch you up! (It’s the same as last week…
You know, I often let you guys know I am not monetizing this blog even though no one’s asked. But with the amount of posts I write on the subject, it sure seems like I want to. I don’t. At least not yet. But I do see people talk about the subject a lot…
As I type this, I’ve published 695 posts on this blog (by the time this goes live, it will be well over 700). Exactly two of those posts are DIY posts or roughly 0.28%…. Yet I somehow never ever stop talking about those posts. It’s like I’m trying to convince myself I’m some type of…
You know how some people can pick up a hobby for a couple of days and already be considered experts? Like they can tell you all about the history and have a wide range of obscure facts to share. They can help you improve your technique or give you useful hints. Then there are others…
No no, this isn’t a guest post. Sounds like one though. Even I’m not completely certain who’s writing this… I have been, and remain, pretty ambivalent about monetizing my blog. To me, there are just too many downsides. Simply activating ads yields very little revenue and you have no control over the content of the…
I am one of the three people out there that openly admits to being a fan of ranty or negative reviews. Most bloggers hold back from writing overly negative posts and the general consensus I’ve seen from people in the anime community is that if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything…
I know you’ve all been waiting impatiently for this! Once again, it’s time to parse through my very favorite stat of them all! For those of you that have been following this blog for a while, or my twitter account, you now that I have a rather marked obsession with the search terms people are…
Man, I have been out of the nomination post game for a while! That honestly makes me sad. I’m one of the few bloggers that really enjoys nomination posts and of course, the less you respond, the less you get tagged. These things are rough to keep up with though. If you’re not careful, you’re…
I’m not the first, or the best blogger to comment on the ever-changing landscape of the blogging community. It’s a demanding hobby and not always what we thought it would be. As such, it’s not unusual for people to lose interest or simply no longer be able to keep up with the various requirements of…
