A thousand mile journey begins with one step.
With all this talk about online marketing, making money and driving traffic, let’s not forget about the blogger. Let’s not forget about the emotional stamina that’s needed to maintain a blog day in and day out. It takes dedication. It takes hope. It takes passion.

Blogging, of course, is about communicating. It’s about trying to make someone somewhere pay attention if only for a moment. And that’s work. It can be fun too but it’s also work. It takes time. It takes energy. Blogging is labor and time intensive.
Blogging is now my profession. I’m still trying to figure out ways to make it pay better. But like everyone else, I have to find the energy and time to do it. Blogging is not the only thing I do. I can’t imagine how other people with much greater responsibilities than I have find the strength to blog. Often, bloggers have to be resilient and resourceful people.
A serious commitment to blog brings with it never ending struggle. And remember, those of us who only publish on Triond are bloggers, too.
I have to balance blogging on my Triond Account with blogging on my personal blog. Yes, I have blogger madness. There ain’t no cure.
There’s only tomorrow.

Thanks for the inspiration for giving me an idea for starting a new business: Bloggers Anonymous.
November 23rd, 2009 at 6:28 am
That’s a practical one.You’ve thought it out quite rationally.
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:10 am
Very good article information.
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:24 am
I don’t know how you do both. I find Triond quite hard work to keep up. I must be getting old. LOL. A good article.

Blogging requires commitment and time. Goodluck and thanks for sharing.
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:46 am
I feel withdrawal symptions if I don’t write an article a day, it can be hard when inspiration leaves you. Its easier to walk away and switch on the T.V. your right it does take dedication and time. Great article.
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:57 am
Thanks for sharing, and I agree with simplyoj, blogging takes time though I like to blog! ^_^
November 23rd, 2009 at 8:02 am
That’s right, a bit of madness is needed, or should we call it passion? It certainly is infectious.
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:05 am
I really want to be a serious blogger here at Triond, but Triond continues to frustrate me with how slow it takes for some articles to get published.
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:42 am
drelayaraja, this was fun to do. I took part of the title from an old movie.
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:46 am
Teves, I was just thinking about all the work bloggers do. This was sort of a pat on the back.
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:49 am
CHAN LEE, I’m glad you enjoyed the article. It was fun to write.
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:53 am
Blogging…America’s NEW pasttime! good write!
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:54 am
svishnugopal, bloggers don’t get enough credit for the work put into blogging. I just thought I would write a little something about it.
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:57 am
ken, blogging is a drug and I need it bad.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:02 am
wonder, I take blogging very seriously. Some would say too seriously; but it is my profession now and I want to do well at it.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:06 am
Jenny Heart, I look forward to blogging every day.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:10 am
Christine, I find that blogging invigorates me. I look forward to doing it every day.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:17 am
simplyoj, thank you and good luck to you.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:17 am
I hear ya! I am getting blogging crazy myself. I might come to you, asking you for help, if it drives me totally insane :p
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:43 am
Just think – when you say *There is only tomorrow,* there is another saying somewhere that states, *And tomorrow never comes.* (quotes were not accepted)
Looks like we are going to be blogging for a long time to come. lol
November 23rd, 2009 at 11:39 am
I intend to blog for the long run.
November 23rd, 2009 at 1:31 pm
In spite of the many issues on Triond, I’m still addicted to it. And I still can’t think of myself as a blogger. I equate blogging to writing a diary (writing about themselves) – I mostly write creative writing pieces.
November 23rd, 2009 at 8:44 pm
Of course the life line in blogging is the hope it provides that tomorrow will be a good day.You have been quite frank in your views always.Thanks for sharing.
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:51 pm
Thumb Up !
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:59 pm
Nice article. People need to understand that we put passion into what we write. It ain’t about just posting whatever.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:12 pm
Good thought
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:21 pm
Yes, tomorrows are going to be better days. Inspiring article.

November 24th, 2009 at 1:42 am
I wish I have the energy and madness to write as much as you
Reading your article always motivate me. Thanks.
November 24th, 2009 at 1:56 am
writing is both fun and hard work.
November 24th, 2009 at 7:34 am
Have been so busy these past few days. Nice post.

Here is to blogger madness and our special essence that keeps us blogging for not just dollars but in the hopes of creating bridges built with strong minds and even stronger passions . . .

It’s a chronic case of “bloggeritis!” Keep it up. You inspire many writers like me.
November 25th, 2009 at 1:16 am
I haven’t have time to write anything new yet, but I will log in Triond and read my friends articles to support them. Is writing comment like this considered blogging too?
November 25th, 2009 at 6:02 am
hhave not got into serious blogging yet. Still cant get the gist of it so for now I stick to commenting and scribbling.
Something to ponder over tho.
November 25th, 2009 at 7:46 am
Yaa me too, I’ve got a few articles on this site, and my personal site: Darkgrin.com
November 29th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
Guy, you always give a smile on my face with your articles… You are so honest with your post… And I always feel like your speak on my behalf… Good gift of yours…
