live for yourself
Peige's WHO DO YOU BLOG FOR? says you can just blog for yourself. That counteracts how blogs, even those with social media bells and whistles, innately lack social media platforms' interactivity. Then again, you can also use social media for yourself instead of letting it warp you.
Pondering websites, blogs, and social media enough shows how algorithms and reactions harmonize with searching and making. How can maximizing each forms' strengths outdo maximizing any given form?
As for defining the online spaces you cultivate, I vibe with Mason's footer: "Make Your Own Meaning". Along similar lines, Peige says, "It's your playground, so have fun with it."
Forget about your online presence for a moment. Who do you live for?
