Some You Just Abandon A Blog.

Sometimes you just abandon a blog. I suppose it just kind of happens. If you never come back, I suppose it just kind of becomes random virtual debris. It's not particularly offensive (hopefully) yet it may very well be unlikely that people will come and visit old decaying post.


On the other hand for those research scientists or historians out there, one could view such a thing as internet fossils. Some day some student might use these to complete their master's thesis on, "The early blogs before it became a way to try to make money."


This picture, in its own interesting sort of way, neither requires a link nor a caption.


Why is is somehow that in the back of my mind at this very moment, I sort of hear the voice of one of college English professors saying (in writing of course, perhaps on a hand written essay test) Mr. Sanders, I see you have finally mastered the use of the comma. 


Yet then I also hear my own voice saying, yeah now I just need to learn about capitalization, and when to use an a verses an i when spelling! 


One of the problems with the omnipresent spell checker is this, being that any misspelled word like that one, where I misspelled the word misspelled (there should be a special term for such a thing, which unfortunately happens to me quite a bit), you end up depending on such precious convient tools, such as the "spell checker" that your brain probably rests (or yes maybe even shrinks) a bit knowing that the spell checker is there to watch your back. 


As I ponder this, I see there are some even more subtle underpinnings to this issue, however I will leave off with this. It's possible the spell checker is some sort of plug-in in one of the WordPress templates I use that may be broken, disabled, or just plain old- not working. Now if this is true, it does explain how a lot of typos were missed by me, over the years. 


I truly dislike with a passion, Okay, I hate having to go back to old posts that were perhaps even written years ago, in order to repair various typos, spelling or grammatical errors. 


The reason of course being is that I have plenty of work that I should be doing right now. 


"Yeah, is that right, so why are you writing on some old BlogSpot blog that has been forgotten by time itself, when you specifically planned to take a new customer (or two) for building a brand new website?"

Ummm...ummm...Oh yeah I just picked up this new little piece of Google Ad code and was going to be placing it on this really happening blog of mine and then.... 
"Yeah, speak up, I can hardly hear you?"
" well you see the blog was not working correctly and I got this error code and then couldn't sign in to the right e-mail, because I forgot the password and then I had top use the back up e-mail, but ....I  errr... forgot the password to that too.....and ....and... then ..and then ...I hat to .. but I noticed...." 
" Stop stammering and sign off already and get to what you really have to do, and stop trying to have so much fun, when things go so wrong!"

"Oh yeah sure, your right of course, as always, what did you same was?"
" Oh common already, you know, you boss, your editor, your landlord, Uncle Sam, whatever. Now you just get back to work and quit playing around!"

" Oh yeah right, but really I was trying to do monetization and then I got distracted and tried to do a little SEO. I sorta figured that by the time I was done with the SEO, that Google might have figured out what was wrong, and I would not have to worry about sending an e-mail with the erros code to Google, because maybe they would be mad about the multiple account thing!"  
 " Stop it! You asked them about it when Google Engage called! Did you forget?"

 " No, but, hey lets just stop doing this now, no offense but it's not even funny and more."

Come back again for part II of:

"A Day In The Life Of A Full Time Blogger"-By Stephen C. Sanders

Its kind of interesting to realize that even when using a fairly simple interface, you end of finding new features that you did not about, just when you try doing something simply by pushing a button.


Stephen C. Sanders


PS: Or even more interesting to learn (or realize) that one has been using a specific or particular feature incorrectly for years, or that its equally possible that one was using the feature correctly, yet the modern way is to now use the very same feature differently. I suppose questions like this come from people like me, who were never really shown or taught how to do things but ended up learning by doing. On the job training.


...seriously, you got see this guy work, as he writes he "see's" what it would like in a google search, I mean he thinks in keywords and that why he keeps buying domains... what... the camera still rolling...oooops.
