Moved

As a business major, being successful is always on my mind. Reading about people who were successful, I went into their business. Then I had an epiphany. I could establish myself in a niche related to my own interests. There is a low learning curve on being your self. Flipping through my music and book collection I realized that I bought these things, and these musicians have sold many CD’s and MP3 downloads. Someone else probably shares my interests, so now I blog about my own interests.
Blogging is fun and
Print-n-Post is a great site. Now my blog has moved. Admittedly, I seemed to
get more hits on my articles when posting them to Print-n-Post; however, it has
been great having my own blogger site.
I haven’t forgotten the team
of people on PnP. I still peruse the site on occasion. Now I have a greater
degree of freedom in expression. The blogger templates are wonderful. My site
has a black background. I find it easier to read. Google also provides cool gadgets
to enhance the site. I have picked out fun games for all of the separate blogs.
Working out a navigation
system on Print-n-Post took awhile. I regret taking the whole thing down after
working out an effective way of creating a link system. (It involved one blog link
to a link matrix in an article. This linked all of my related articles under
one heading. Each article linked back to the main article, which served as a menu
or hub. Each article may also include links to related material, such as:
referring to a book in an article about chakras. The articles about chakras
also linked to the book review. Then a person could gain a complete perspective
on the subject.)
I worry that anyone who
regularly read my blogs is wondering what happened. Probably only a handful of
people are wondering what happened, but I want them to be able to find the
topic of interest. Most of my blogs could be considered reference material. This
has probably caused a disturbance; however, I swear blogger is my main site
now.
It is taking awhile to get
everything back on the Internet. I am taking extra time to edit all of the
blogs and articles. I also decided to illustrate everything on the site myself.
A book review advertises a book; therefore, the author and publisher sell books.
However, artists and photographers make a flat fee. Therefore, their artwork helps
me make money, but what do they get out of it? It seemed unfair. Now all artwork
on the blog are drawn by me personally.
I hope everyone enjoys the
new site. The navigation is wonderful, even though there is so much work to do.
I had over 200 articles and blogs before moving to the new site, Naomie76.
