New Year, Same Blog?

Who blogs anymore?

The answer is not me.

Since 2008, I've been blogging on this site and there have only been so much things that I have shared with my audience. I have stated before that my blog was more popular back in the day than it is now. These days, it's sparingly the main "hub" for everything "Video Vix[o]n". As the new year rolls in, I don't want to make that annual promise of "blogging more" because I feel I would be lying to myself. Each year, I look at the number of posts I've done and it gets lower and lower. Soon, I'll be posting a post per month and that is not what I want. Some restructuring is in order.

Honestly, it's not that there's something wrong with this blog, it's just all over the place. I barely post about anything video-related and it more personal; not even a healthy balance. So I look at Blogger and I see the "delete blog" button and a decision must be made; delete three years of blogging to start a new or build on this sinking ship and attempt to regain a healthy audience?

I'm always a fan of doing new things for the new year. Call me cheesy, but I think it's human condition to wait for a period of beginning to start something fresh; like the start of a new year or the beginning of a season. To me, the key to a successful blog is consistency and engagement. I have failed to do both and for me to try and regain these key components on top of old content just seems sloppy.

I think another thing is I am more prone to grab a camera and talk about what is happening than write about it. Could be due to laziness or not reading as much as I use to? I'm not sure what it is, but I'm sure that some change is definitely in order. I need some time to contemplate my decision, but no matter what I do, "vdeovxn.com" will still remain (considering I bought the domain) and I will make sure to make a good decision for the sake of getting back into the groove of things. Like every good show on television these days, stay tuned to see if this blog will be cancelled or up for another season. In the meanwhile, watch my latest vlog about having an "UP" attitude.
