How I recognize myself in these 59 reasons Lisa.
ReplyDeleteI'm new to blogging but you look like you've been around for ages! The topics you choose are always interesting (at least to me). About these 59 reasons if I look inside I will think that blogging is something personal and authentic, I can't do something standardized (or sometimes I can proportionally..). Great discussion and food for thought!
Katerina: I've been around a long time in the blogosphere so I have all the excuses for not blogging.
DeleteThank you for coming by my blog. Have a lovely day.
I plead guilty to some of these too. Particularly on the 'other' social media front.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child: Some of us are just not meant to do social media, other than blogging.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
Fun reasons -Christine cmlk79.blogspit.com
ReplyDeleteChristine: Are they fun? I don't know but I like listing them.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
SO fun! You totally had me laughing. I don't comment on blogs that use disqus either. And I like your list posts. Oh, and I'm not on any other social media either. Have a great day! :D
ReplyDeleteLark: I'm a list post addict. I think about 90% of my blog posts are lists.
DeleteThank you for coming by my blog. Have a lovely day.
I think refusing to blog after 8:00 is reasonable! I try to limit all screentime at night.
ReplyDeletepaperbackprincess: I have only recently implement this idea of less screen time. We spend too much time looking at screens and not enough time at the real world, I'm guilty of that.
DeleteThank you for coming by my blog. Have a lovely day.
I'm with you on 13. I just cannot read white text on a dark or black background. Makes my eyes swim and my head hurt. I just leave and don't go back.
ReplyDeleteJeane: Having dark or background with white text is a preference and I try to respect the blogger but it's a pain trying to read those blogs. It's a bit sad sometimes because we could miss out on a great blog because we can't read it.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
