Blogs, Oh My, Wow and Ouch

Here on Senior chatters, we have had another discussion on blogs, so I am writing here again on the subject and to ask Rob, the owner to help us along by having a handy folder on how and what to write. Maybe it could include blogs written by members on the subject. I would like to have a handy “go to” button. folder, file or whatever you call it for blog writing.

I think we would all be wiser to just accept and try to remember what he says, and I try; but after some months, I forget. I try to post and can not, because of a technical issue. My title is too long or too short and I am reminded on the guidelines we were given.

Rob’s rules are basically good writing rules, and I cannot post when I get sloppy
and have written without thinking enough. When we write, we have to please ourselves, we have to please an audience, and we have to please a publisher, or the person who gives us a space and an audience.

I wrote in frustration once about blogs I did not like. Another person wrote about blogs he does not like. Maybe more of us should blog or message about what they like; or maybe we should not and just read or not read as other people say. Some issues have no clear answers. If you speak out, you need courage, and you also need wisdom to know what to say and how to say it. Most people here are exceedingly kind and gracious, and maybe I don’t qualify, but I will try to improve and learn as I go.

Here on senior chatters, we have a grand opportunity to write and to learn and to get and give some pearls of wisdom learned along the way.Rob, I need to find or learn those guidelines on blog writing again. If they are there and I don’t see them, it is entirely possible, but I need to be redirected.

    The stories that people tell are wonderful.

  3. ty for the comment and you have a great way of thinking about it.
    CSweet, did you ever think about writing one. Your attitude is so positive, If people don’t write then no one can read. I also understand that it may not be your thing and that is fine.
