FollowLast week I wrote a post about how blogging can help your career. Last night I was going back through some old posts and thought, “oh-dear”. So I have to add points 4 and 5 to the ledger on the down side.
4. Your writing style will change
Some of my old posts are cringe-worthy. The content is there, but the expression is a bit clumsy. I’m tempted to move into “how-to mode” here on how to improve this, but I seriously think it just comes with practice and time. Plus picking up tips from other blogs you enjoy.
5. People are not always positive. In fact, some can and will say nasty things
I got really excited when a comment landed on the first post I wrote. But it turned out to be someone pointing out a typo.Then someone else commented and the two of them competed publicly to find as many typos as they could. I took the posts down and did a complete re-write. That was all I could do.
I’ve also written a post in another forum where the commenting crowd turned to attack me – big time! That hurt for two days. (If you’d like to see me punched up publicly visit the Punch) Then I moved on. I can’t put a positive spin on that feeling. Ultimately, I guess, it’s for the readers who decide whom they’ll support.
I have to say though, that the support for InterviewIQ has inspired me. I’d like to thank everyone who has contributed to this blog over the past year.
