This past week I gave a presentation at the North Kitsap
Puget Sound Anglers meeting. During the
Q&A I mentioned that I use Facebook almost like a blog and also use
Twitter. I explained how you can just go
to the SkunkBayWeather page and like it and you would then get all of my
posts. I looked around the room and saw
a lot of “Deer In The Headlight” looks…..
There are a LOT of folks who do not want a Facebook account. Actually, I think most of the folks who visit
my site are in this category. I respect
that.... I have also thought about this
for quite some time. I put a lot of
content up on Facebook and Twitter and it adds a new dimension to SkunkBayWeather. The folks without Facebook and Twitter accounts are missing this.
I suppose I could configure my site to have an easy way for me to update new content like I do on Facebook. The downside here is that it would not have the capability of interaction. That’s half the fun. Giving folks a chance to comment and for me to respond has been very enjoyable…. There are so many things to share. I really like to keep it light with a little humor too.
I finally decided to put together a blog this weekend. This seems to be a good solution. I can put a link on my site directly into the blog. I can post easily and the readers can make comments. No need for a Facebook account or any account for that matter. Comments can be made anonymously. However, this will be moderated by me and comments will not be published until I authorize them. A Google account is easiest, but not necessary. I would prefer that folks who comment sign in through a variety of means or at least leave a name/user name of some sort in their comment. I’d like to know who is making what comment. This opens the door for a “Weather Community” to grow and have a lively exchange of thoughts, humor and an appreciation of Nature.
So…. If you are reading this, you are on my blog. I copied and pasted a few simple posts I put up on Facebook recently. Nothing really weather related, but recent posts. Just like on Facebook, if there is nothing of substance, I don’t post. I could “go dark” for a week or two…. Or I may have a half dozen posts in a day…. It’s all “Weather Related”… 😉
This is all a new adventure and I am looking forward to hearing from you.
