Congratulations!
You’ve decided to blog.
But what do you write about?
Where do you get ideas?
As an ambassador for Christ, you have His content as your content. There are not enough days in your lifetime to exhaust the mysteries, the depth, the heights, or the dimensions of His life-changing, soul-morphing truth. ~@stickyJesus, p. 160
When we fill up our hearts with Him, we can’t help but spill.
But we can also harvest rich kernels from the hearts of others.
Content that encourages, inspires, and teaches.
Powerful content to share.
From all kinds of interest areas.
Thoughts that stimulate our own creativity.
Through RSS (Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary) technology that collects and funnels your favorite sites straight to a reader.
Like Google Reader.
And save time by reading all in one place instead of content (blog) hopping.
Sweet.
Efficient.
I’m not very good at it.
I have stuff pouring into my reader, overflowing.
But I have not yet developed the simple habit of drinking regularly from that well.
Or making full use of all its functions.
And I’m missing so much.
(Hangs head in shame.)
So I’m glad this chapter includes a Google Reader 101.
I’m going to do better.
Starting today.
Really I am.
Linking late with Michelle Sarabia and friends as we walk through this book together.
I confess, I’m not very good about utilizing Google Reader. I’ve got a slew of posts there but haven’t figured how (if possible) to delete them after I read them.
I finally gave up and started getting posts to a second email address. How does that help save time? I have no idea but it was what worked at that moment.
For weeks, after considering deleting my blog, I’ve decided to prayerfully attempt to have a schedule by my birthday & stick with it for the rest of the year. I want His content to spill out of me.
And…I guess I need to revisit chapter 14. Thanks, Snady.
I have to figure out how to delete, too. Or maybe they go away when they are marked read. I’ve been thinking about deleting all subscriptions and starting over.
So glad you decided to hang in on your blog! 🙂
Spill, baby, spill!
You answered one of my own questions, why should I bother to Blog? I knew the answer in my heart, but you stated it beautifully, along with some great technical tips. Thanks so much for sharing.
I always go back to what I wrote here to remind myself of why I bother to blog.
Keep blogging, Cecilia.
There’s so much to share … and this seems an expedient way to do so. And besides, it’s fun to meet others … like you.
Ditto, Susan. 🙂
