New blogger view on WordPress

It’s been almost a month I started blogging on WordPress, thought of sharing my new bee experience in the blog world.

Positive things

Reading blog posts

I am enjoying reading blog posts, they are interesting, informative and some posts are addictive.
Some information are there in our brain but we just need to refresh them once in a while, so when I read blog post my brain gets refreshed on few topics and encourage me to adapt some new behaviour for better life.

Building community

I am glad I am able to build a new community with other WordPress users with only words, which is amazing feeling. New blog family.

Support from co-bloggers

It’s always nice if new bee on blog platform get some support from already existing users. It’s a nice to have a warm welcome.

Social media addiction

Absolutely, my time waste on social media videos, scrolling on useless shorts have significantly come down. Now, I use my time for reading blogs and think of what I can write to the world instead .

Daily prompts

Many of bloggers do not admire daily prompts, but I do enjoy replying to few of them. It prompts me to think on a topic quick and promotes me to write on every day basis.

Difficulties faced

Jetpack app

I write my blog post on my laptop but I read blog posts, reply to daily prompts and see some updates on my I phone while I am lying down on bed or I use my waiting time for reading blog posts on my phone, as phone is handy and present with me all the time.
Hence, I am heavy user of jetpack and I must say sometime it’s slow to open and doesn’t update quickly.

I think growing technology comes with these negative things. We just need to accept it. Hopefully they increase the speed off app and add many more features of site onto app to allow better use of app.

Tech support team

They are very good, I managed to get in touch with them many a times but little annoying is, online chat not available on jetpack app. This is again not my preference to use laptop for sorting, chatting, it’s not handy for me.

Time consumption

When I opened my site, it took lot of time for me write my first post because some writing page technical issue with settings. It was resolved finally with help of online support team but it was frustrating for new person.
Many times my post were not published immediately and was not able to see on readers list, even though I chooses right settings, which again had to spend lot of time to figure out.
This takes me to my next point..

Time blocking

It was really consuming my time to sort out many things how site worked and addressing technical issues, ended up spending huge amount of time and got unbalanced with my other life activities and work.

However, now I have managed to be strict with time blocking for blogging. If we don’t do time blocking we may get an unbalanced life and struggle to manage important life activities.

To wrap up

I am enjoying blogging
I am enjoying reading blogs
I am enjoying communicating with bloggers

Getting used to Jetpack app
Lot to learn how the site works
Time blocking is a must to survive for long, especially for part time bloggers

For any new people starting it’s an amazing platform to express your thoughts and mingle with writers.

Keep blogging! Keep learning!
