When Blogging Turns Sour

Blogging turns sour when one doesn’t have enough time to blog.

I have so many topics in my head that I could blog about, but so little time. I guess when I’d have to write a round-up of Nigerian blogs for “Global Voices” tomorrow, I’d take the time to expand on some of the topics I have in mind. I only had the time to write this because I am waiting to meet someone in five minutes’ time at BusyInternet and I feel I should use one of the PCs in their cybercafe.

Blogging turns sour when you have to “un-approve” the SPAM comments that enter your blog every single day. I guess this comes with the popularity of one’s blog. 😉

Blogging turns sour when Internet Explorer would not display your beautiful blog template, very well. This is the second template I am using. I abandon the previous one only because Internet Explorer (the dominant browser) is not displaying it well.

This can be rather frustrating. I guess I’d better improved upon promoting the use of Mozilla Firefox as a better alternative.

  1. Hmm! I pretty much relate with the points you made, sometimes it really freaks me. Like, I have a 20 parts post series I wanted to write, I already have the topics of the 20 parts listed and I can close my eyes and write the all 20 parts. But God, time?

    Like, my blog which is new should have been beaming with series of article now according to my plan. Only, to spend 2 week part of the very earliest days of the blog, trying to made it look good in Internet Explorer (to exactly the same way it looks in Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.) Well I’d to sacrifice some Interesting hack I made, just to get some 80% outlook. Gosh! Still at 80% for all the troubles.

    In all though, I mostly don’t see these as a problem but rather a Challenge, I know it a can be a frustrating experience but sometime they bring out the creativity in us. Like we all know, you only get fine Gold after you put a raw Gold through the furnace or is it fire, whichever one is Hotter anyway….lol

    Nice post, short but thoughtful.

    Cheers!
