WELLNESS BLOG vs BLOG WELLNESS

December 15, 2023 by David Gillaspie

A ‘wellness blog’ does what it says: promote health and wellness to an audience who ignores their own health and wellness. If you’re reading a blog for ‘wellness,’ if you’re doing your own ‘research,’ be sure better ideas come from credible sources. Taking medical advice, or simple health advice, from a moron is not the […]

AUTHORITY BLOGGER? COME ON, MAN

November 7, 2023 by David Gillaspie

BLOG WRITER EXPLAINS ‘WHY BOTHER?’

“The arts … are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow … Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well […]

BLOG PROPERTY: OPEN THE GATE

July 20, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Blog property, like any property, has boundaries. Once you start, then what? Keep it moving, keep it current, keep it interesting. No one wants readers who drift off thinking, ‘That’s ten wasted minutes of my life I’ll never get back.’
