As of today my course is complete. I created this blog as a course requirement, and along the way found myself enjoying posting in this space each week. It was a way to share, learn, vent, collaborate, etc. But, what now? You see for the last 8 weeks, I knew I had an audience. I had a reason to share my thoughts, but if I'm not sure anyone is following, is it worth my time even if it's enjoyable? Without being "required," will I still have a reason to post? If I do lose my audience, how do I gain a new one?
I guess I'm a bit lost. I have found an enjoyable, useful tool, but where do I go from here?
Keep doing it. I've found that while I haven't always blogged in the way I think Dr. Merrill wanted us to be blogging, I made it useful for myself. It seems you have, too. Keep your audience. I have everyone who added the RSS feed on my Google Reader, so I'll still be reading along. Twitter has proven to be incredibly helpful, too, and I know I have a number of people who read my blog as a result of that, even if it's just one post here and there. If it's enjoyable and useful, why would you stop?
ReplyDeleteGood call, Brian. Thanks for the encouragement. Yours has been one of my favorites to follow, and I will continue to read you as well.
