I am obviously over the moon that my little blog has started getting busy.
Well busy for my little corner of the world.
Today I decided to have a think about what caused a busy blog and as a blogger how it has affected my blogging.
All it took was a Twitter account! why I took the plunge to open such an account I don't know! you can all see what my previous thoughts on Twitter were in previous posts and they were not all endearing thoughts.
Its taken a bit of work to get used to and it has been a learning curve for me.
Not only has it been a learning curve I have actually found out quite a lot of things that have proved quite useful.
Primarily I use Twitter to keep up to date with what is happening in the local area and just occasional to link to my blog.
It was this action that sort of led me away from my everyday personal posts and started me wandering around the web to see what the rest of the Local Community were up to these days.
What strikes me as strange, odd is that there are quite of few local places that have there own little corner of the web all doing their own thing which is great. I am one of them but how beneficial would it be to Local Organisations and Business to have a bit of joined up thinking.
I suppose that is what I have tried to do on a basic level here.
Wouldn't it be great to have a community what's on where all local organisations and Business pop in their local events instead of them being splattered everywhere or tucked away hidden and hard to find.
I am so tempted to do that here but hold back because so many things can go pear shaped.
So I suppose what I would love is a community Calendar Central Calendar that gave a Date and an Event and link back to the organisations website almost like a Hub a starting point for anyone visiting or resident to Forshaw Heath & Earlswood.
How has Twitter changed my blogging well to some extent I have a little voice and should perhaps be using it a bit more. I have been listed on Openly Local and have a responsibility to tone some of my thoughts down.
Once I am on a role there is no stopping me but having become a little bit public I need to be more constructive and use my blogging platform properly.
