So, I decided I wanted to start blogging again. I've tried several times before without success. I never seem to be able to develop the follow through needed to keep at it. I went to Pinterest to find a free blog post planner page. I was bombarded with pins about making money using my blog, pins about how to avoid mistakes blogging, how to increase my views in just one month, etc. Maybe it is just me, but what happened to blogging for the fun of it.
While I can understand wanting to work from home or adding extra income from blogging I sometime find the large amount of ads take away from the blog itself. Many blogs are more ads than blog. Even if I enjoy a blog, all the pop-ups and having to hunt for the posts in between the ads will make me less likely to return to read future posts. Ads that are placed on the edges of the page or a single ad between posts do not bother me.
So as a final note: It is not the use of ads that I have a problem with. It is being bombarded with ads that is the issue. So, after more than an hour of trolling around on Pinterest and many 404 screens I finally decided to design and make my own Blog Post Planner Page using Google Documents. Sometime Pinterest is not the answer.
