Two Years of Blogging
Two years ago today I began this blogging adventure, although it feels more like ten. Much has changed, both on my blog and in my life, and I find it peculiar that on this day, this blogiversary, I am feeling unmotivated, sluggish, and unenthused. Much like my blog two years ago, I had so many ideas and such high hopes for the future, which are all quite dim now. I still feel quite shaky when it comes to my blog; it is still too piecemeal for me to be highly proud of it, and I know I’m not utilizing all of its capabilities and my resources – will I ever be…

Not Sharing and Over Sharing
Recently, Adele stopped a show in Italy to berate a fan in the audience who was recording the performance on a video camera, in defense of her real-time performance and those who were unable to attend the concert and not see Adele in “real time” themselves. More recently (this past weekend), I took approximately four Snapchat videos during a concert I attended in addition to a handful of okay-quality pictures. I could say “I did it because other people were doing it” but really, I did it because I wanted to capture some of my favorite moments and share them with those who weren’t there, or those unfortunate enough to accidentally…

Welcome!
It is here! My new domain, my new design, and what I hope will become a more consistent place to channel my thoughts. I stuck with WordPress rather than an entirely solo website, partly because I don’t understand websites enough to be confident in going “out on my own,” and partly because I really love using WordPress. I still don’t totally understand what is going on, but I consider that part of the fun. The email associated with my blog (contact@theressomethingaboutkm.com) is up and running, so feel free to contact me with any thoughts of yours, or leave a comment here. Learn about what led me to blogging and what…

New Site – Same(ish) Blog
Hi everyone, So I’ve committed to changing my blog from a “.wordpress.com” domain to its own domain, and the process has already presented itself as simple (thankfully), and has, I feel, exposed me as a novice in the website-domain-owning world (I admit hesitantly). I thought I would have to export all of my content and then import it to the new domain, but the beautiful, magical wizards of WordPress have already redirected everything, or at least are in the process of redirecting everything – is this because I registered the domain while upgrading my blog? – so by now you can see my new URL (eek!). For the next week/week and a half I…

What’s Going On When Nothing’s Going On
What drives a blog is, of course, its writer/photographer/artist/owner, and the content created by that writer/photographer/artist/owner. As a novice blogger, I consider very accomplished bloggers, or accomplished individuals or organizations with successful blogs, mentors in my blogging adventure, apart from inspirations in my life adventures. However, by following fellow novice and developing bloggers like myself, I’m also continuing to learn from and be inspired by their trials and errors, and gaining (as well as offering) support while I work through my errors and toward success. Between all of these people, my professional and personal experiences, and my reflective, dreamy soul, it should be simple to produce something worth reading all the time (I think). But…

When Refreshing Blog Posts: Some Lessons
I just finished reading a blog post from The Blonde Writer, which describes “10 Things To Expect When Refreshing Old Blog Posts,” and I could not have read it at a better time. I have been a little vacant here on my blog this week because I’ve been trying to iron out the rest of the posts I have moved from my previous site to my Drafts folder here. Good news: my Weebly site no longer exists – yay! Mediocre (because it’s not really bad) news: I now have about 20 drafts to revisit, reread, edit, rewrite, and some to just keep around as Drafts for later ideas. Through my…
