Good morning from this part of the world.
Thank you to everyone who read my piece posted yesterday, especially those who boosted it.

If you have favorite bloggers, please let me know, I'm trying to build my list.
ReadBeanIceCream Slash Pages
I recently asked for some tips on improving my site. In doing so, I learned about slash pages.

Thanks to @shellsharks for the recommendation!
Google's Core Updates have hit me! I am overwhelmed! I have been using Flipboard, but my website traffic is still inconsistent.
Why Would I even care about "Being On The Fediverse?" Managing my Flipboard Account is already way too much for me.
The Fediverse and Flipboard complement each other in curating, consuming, and sharing content: Translation = more visibility.
#Fediverse, #Flipboard, #Creators, #Content, #Curators, #Bloggers, #Publishers https://medium.com/flipboard4business/why-creators-need-the-flipboard-and-fediverse-in-2025-a55137478534
I’ve been reading and curation on #Flipboard for over 12 years. I plan my trips, menus, and DIY. I read news, sports, business news or anything really. I can’t imagine a world without it. I recommend downloading it to support #journalists, #publishers and #bloggers. Now that it’s part of the #Fediverse, all the more reason https://about.flipboard.com/download-flipboard/
Calling all long-time #bloggers
You find a broken link on one of your decade old posts.
It isn't in The Internet Archive.
There isn't a similar page available.
You can't find anything similar from around the same time.
What do *you* do with the link? Leave it broken? Remove it? Something else?

*If* they recruit enough sheepish 
#Vatnik #bloggers , how long before the most #Putinesque sheep have blocked all the rest?
Maybe people would take #RSS more seriously if they understood that it is the basis of #podcasting.
The media in general and #creators specifically could spend a fraction of the time they take to "plug their socials" just explaining to people that RSS is a simple way to follow them.
I also think creators should free themselves from the dreaded algorithms by creating a feed that is updated whenever they release new content. I would argue that they should try to mirror as much of their content as possible on their own sites to control their own archive.
I think that a tool that helps creators aggregate their content across #Platforms would make a lot of difference. Then they can say "instead of following me on all those apps platforms you can just keep updated with rss".
It takes a lot of work to format videos for each #SocialMedia platform. You can't just upload your #YouTube video #TikTok but you can upload (or embed) all those videos to your own site which creates a feed that people can subscribe to with any #RSSApp.
"Writers often work with different publishers over the span of their careers, but #Mastodon is the perfect platform to amass a loyal audience that you, as the author, truly own, and can take with you across the #fediverse."
@Gargron on a nice new feature that benefits #journalists and #bloggers:

#Bloggers. I am considering adding a category on my blog for those posts where... hmm... they cannot stand alone and be enjoyed by a casual reader, and they'll only really resonate with people who are genuine 'fans' of your blog.
You know, the people who *get* you.
I think I want to filter certain #blog posts into the following category...
Attention #bloggers, #Journalists, and #publishers. I have gotten lots of emails in the last few weeks. Most of you are solopreneurs experiencing many changes with the recent #Google update. This has caused a lot of anxiety. Now is the time to make use of your #Flipboard profile to get that traffic. #digitalmarketing, #publishing, #marketing https://medium.com/flipboard4business/survive-search-engine-updates-diversify-traffic-sources-with-flipboard-fe9b12cdbab8

"I'm going to take the phrase "cross the picket line" away from tumblr until #everyone actually starts reading #strike demands and listening to union leadership and strike captains.
Random #bloggers declaring things "crossing the picket line" means nothing. Read the actual goddamn strike #information from the actual goddamn #strikers. Stop calling for your own #boycotts, stop trying to decide what is and isn't #scabbing based on your own #opinions, stop making judgment calls disconnected from the actual demands of the actually-striking #workers.
Y'all have got to start reading the #unions' official documents before arbitrarily deciding what is or isn't "proper #solidarity" based entirely on your own feelings. Stop muddying the waters just because it makes you feel more involved."

Writing from a point of experience has always been strong for me. Honesty makes for the best creativity, whether it's songwriting, blogs, or stories.
Anyway, I have the itch again. To start writing. I'm looking for a couple things, first if there's any interest from my followers on fediverse, but also to connect with other #bloggers and #writers. I am working on a blog entry now, I can share the link when I'm finished if there's interest. #blogs #nsfwblogging #writersofmastodon
