Return to Blogging….Sort of.

It’s been nearly a year since I started blogging here on WordPress and the simple truth of the matter is, I knew I would fail. I am simply too busy writing articles for SomethingCool News to write blog posts. I can’t even do video blogging and we all know how easy that is.

That said, that doesn’t mean a blog doesn’t have its advantages. It makes a certain amount of sense to have another way to interact with my readers. So I have decided to resurrect the SCN Blog and the purpose is two-fold:

1) To expose more people to my writing and website. A lot of people use WordPress for their own blogging, so it makes sense to network this way. Blogging here gives me the opportunity to highlight my work and expand SCN’s readership. That’s just good business. (Even if I am not making any money.)

2) I like the idea of a “Reporter’s Notebook” type post. This is a way to tell readers the story behind the story. Some interesting things tend to happen when you interview people who don’t want – or expect – to be interviewed. My readers might find that interesting, so occasionally, I’ll report that here. I could probably write an entire blog on this premise alone, but that means setting up another one, and yeah, that just seems like too much work.

So, each week, and periodically thereafter, I will post articles that appeared on SCN recently, along with my own insights into various stories. This should give people something interesting to read about and provide people with something else to think about, while hopefully increasing SCN readership. Worst case scenario, everyone thinks I’m ridiculous and I’m in the same spot I am now. So, really, what do I have to lose?

So, to the four of you reading this, thanks for taking the time, and I hope you stick around. It could be an interesting ride.

Fred.
