My Websites And Ideas To Blog In 2023

Last night, I was thinking about what to do on my blog sites. When to post on which sites and so forth.  I think this will flow into place when I get the rhythm of things. 

I don't post much on my Family Connections: Gathering The Generations and Blakey Blakley WHITE Family Connections sites. Nowadays, I post there about once or twice a month. Or maybe three times a month, if there's a special anniversary day that will come up. 

On this site, Susan Ann Blakley's Journal, I have added more of my blog sites and other sites that I have created to my link of blogs and websites. I haven't realized how many accounts I have since I got hooked up with the internet in August of 2004. I'm aware that there were some of my accounts that were deleted by the server. Their sites were shut down. 

My first blog site was on Xanga which I created on Monday, September 17, 2007. Through the years  renamed my site Journaling_Susan .  I forgot what I named it was in the beginning.  But, Somehow, I felt like I didn't fit in with the Xanga community that  I was in. So, I started this blog so I could  journal more freely. 

Ironically, my Xanga subscription expires on Thursday, March 8, 2029. I had a lifetime subscription. I guess, this is the OLD Xanga lifetime expiration cut off date. Technology has change. 

I'm using this journal site, somewhat as my free writing exercises. I don't know what I will end up sharing. I come here with an idea. Then, I start typing. I have ideas come to me as I'm typing. I read what I typed and add in more as I'm reading. I go back for correcting typos as much as possible. 

I received my list of 2023 Challenge for #52Ancestors 52 Weeks. I have been looking over the list for each week. I post these blogs once a week on The Chronicles Of Susan on word press.com  and on my facebook: Family Connections: Susan Blakley. I'm finishing up my last two blogs this week and next for the 2022 Challenge.

Thanks for reading.

Blog Sites: Why Join?

On July 1st, I jotted down how many blog sites that I have. I wrote the dates that I jointed. I thought about why I jointed that site. Here's the list in the order that I jointed.

# Blog sites: Day Joined: Reason:

1. Xanga 13 November 2006 Friends there
2. Myspace October 2007 Family members there.
3. Blogspot 25 March 2008 Wanted another site to journal
4. ? 8 April 2008 Don't know why joined
5. Facebook 24 August 2008 Friends
6. My Life 28 June 2009 Asked or invited to join by a friend
7. Blogspot 30 June 2009 For Family History Recording.

Out of all these sites I am mostly on Xanga. Facebook would be second. The least would be the ? site that I signed up to.

Why do I think that I need to sign up to blog sites? Is it because my friends are there? Or is it because I like to be there and journal?

I can say that out all the sites, I'm here in Xanga the most. I like to journal. Here in Xanga there is no pressure. I can be myself.

I will admit facebook did give me some heartaches and depression. I have come along ways from what I have experienced. I see some things in a new light.

I know that I can easily just leave facebook. But that's not the point. I see a purpose in being there. There things that I do there.

I have found some friends while joining blog sites. Most of the friends leave and move on. Why join blog sites? I don't know the real reason. It might be out of curiosity to find out more about people.

May the LORD guide us in what to do with our blog sites. May what we learn and experience lead us into what God has for us. May we find our purpose in why we join blog sites.

Blog Sites: Why Join?

I don't need to join any other blog sites.

I Say What's Next?

I blog so much that I forget who I blog about. I have been looking back at my blog archives. I need to keep track of what I am doing.
