A year ago I changed my Blogspot blog name from lizy-expat-writer to
http://lizy-writes.blogspot.co.uk/This week I found this comment from Linda D, who used to read my expat blog.
"Just rediscovered and catching up with your blog. According to my Blogger reading list you haven't posted anything for a year!? I found my way here via Twitter. Enjoying reading lots of brilliant stories!"
Is there any way I can send a mail-shot to the 100 followers whose names came across when I changed the name of my blog? Something to tell them where to find me now - if they're still interested?
Comments
I had the same issue when I bought my domain name and applied it to my blogger blog.
It's strangely annoying to have 100 virtual followers who never visit.
Comments do seem to be down generally.
I do acknowledge that my latest post isn't much cop, but it's not always possible to maintain good quality posts when other life events take over. I also find it a chore sometimes to trawl through lots of blogs to leave comments and often wonder if I'm wasting precious writing time on 'social media' stuff.
Sorry - didn't mean this to turn into a moan.
I don't want the complication of a facebook page which will impinge on my existing family and friends page and I've never fancied Twitter.
A blog seemed like a good way to take control of what I want the outside world to see of my writing. But it does take a lot of effort sometimes and I'm not sure if I'm really gaining anything. Fifty six comments at the peak of the A-Z Challenge has dwindled to ten on the current post (and that's including my replies!).
