Okay ... what to do on a day when the rain keeps coming down & the ALERTS for the coming FLOODS just don't let up ?? In my case ... sit at the computer -- with a cat over my shoulder, on a shelf to my right -- looking at a number of websites I have bookmarked, but seldom visit. Except on days like today.
I've arrived on my blog, where it appears I have not posted in two-plus years. Didn't realize it had been that long. I would not consider the absence as having nothing to say. If anything, I have had plenty to share. Just did it with FACEBOOK.
With FB, I have a somewhat limited audience, restricted to the number of "friends" I have acquired. With my blog, it is opened to the WORLD. While I have always found it interesting to note the places from where my "visitors" arrive -- along with the flags of their country of origin -- I have no idea of what they harvest from my pages.
I at least feel I have better "control" of the information I share on FB. [ Yes ... I understand & realize my postings on FB can be shared, copied & passed along to "unknowns". If that happens, I at least have an "audit trail" for my posts.]
Actually ... I "follow" fewer of my friends than would be expected. Mostly I have pages of special interest to me. Like ... CATS.
Even FB sometimes gets ... "old". The same posts appearing under different sites. The constantly changing arrangements of posts being fed into my viewing page. Sometimes just too much time has to be allotted to looking/searching on FB.
At the beginning of this year, I "removed" myself from the daily grind -- which is what it can be -- of FB. Didn't add any new postings or personal information for more than 45 days. Didn't look at pages very often. [If I missed anyone's birthday, I'm sorry. Hope it was great.] A lot less time was spent -- wasted ?? -- reacting to my phone.
I've started back adding to my FB pages. I don't think it will be as often, or as much content, as previous. Maybe I will come back to this blog more frequently.
Stay tuned.
