Why Am I Blogging?

In your circle of friends, not everyone wants to start a blog. Not everyone loves journaling, but there will always be a 1% chance to have a friend who is fond of journaling or blogging. A journal is your personal space to reflect, share, and write down everything going on in your mind and your life. You write here your day-to-day stories, goals, to-do lists, reminders, ideas, and more. Sometimes, introverted person prefers writing everything in their journal instead of telling it to their friends.

3 Problems I Encountered on Blogging

I recently started blogging last July 12, 2021, with my chosen hosting partner, Dreamhost. I enjoy every day with my blog because I love designing, posting, tweaking my site, and sharing my posts for exposure. However, not every day is my day. So here are the three problems that I have encountered with blogging. 1. Slow Website I’m not a techy person, but since I am watching a series of videos about speeding up the load of a website, I became conscious because mine loads forever. Many bloggers use free plugins, but most common vloggers recommend the paid plugin to speed up their site. It is a pain in the ass because I just recently started, and I can’t commit to getting paid plugins for my blog. Maybe if my exposure and page views increased and I started earning, then I guess I could do some upgrades, but now, the only thing that I can do is embrace those free plugins that can still help me and my website. I will make a separate post …
