So today I came to the conclusion that with hardly many folks reading what I might have to say (which is pretty sparse lately), that a serious post about the blog was needed.
In order to really be taken seriously in the blogosphere I think that I probably can’t keep talking about things in an overly bright, positive way. Certainly, I can do that most of the time, but I do think a post that actually seriously discusses something without resorting to the negative is probably warranted once in a while.
In the beginning, it was easy to blog about something. There are a ton of topics which are able to be written into a style that is terribly positive but still retains a sort of snarkiness that is painfully visible, and thereby endearing. But as time goes on, topics run a bit dry. I mean, how often do you think I can go to the “WoW” well or talk about how people on forums have an amazing ability to comprehend with the manner of a slug? There’s an endless supply of topics, but I’d really like to make an actual point once in a while. Hence, all serious topics or ones which are not inadvertant, positive parodies, will be marked with the “Serious Business” tag.
In the coming weeks, I think readers who stumble upon OP will see a change, both in the frequency of posting (more, really!) and in the style of posting (more “serious” posts with a positive spin). A refocus is always a good thing, and it motivates me to blog more and get that little bit of exposure needed to be “regularly read”. So look out world – the new and improved OP is coming to you, and always with a bright, toothy smile on our faces.
hmmmmm….. I liked the Overly Positive overly positive theme. There is too many grumpy bloggers out there
Oh, don't worry. Grumpy will not be happening here, even when it's a "Serious Business" post. It'll still be positive, just actual positivity rather than blatant, smartass positivity.
And there'll be plenty of the OP style. Hence, Fallout 3 post from today.
