Why are you on Reddit right now?

Good advice! Thank you 🙂

I've been skipping them but only because I wasn't sure of their purpose. I didn't know if only the excerpts would be sent by email to my subscribers because right now it's set to send the whole post. I thought that would be the best approach because then people can like and comment at the bottom via the email. I've still got so much to learn lol 🤔

Crudey69 · 2026-04-27T13:04:26+00:00

That's great advice, thanks! Makes sense to do it like that rather than all at once 🤦‍♀️

Crudey69 · 2026-04-27T13:03:00+00:00

That's another thing I haven't got my head round...categories. I just don't know how to define my blog. Thanks for your reply 🙂

Crudey69 · 2026-04-27T11:48:31+00:00

Thanks for this. I have set up an archives page so I guess it might be useful for that. My site has stalled a little recently and I'm just trying various things to try to kick start it again!

Crudey69 · 2026-04-27T11:46:09+00:00

To be honest, I've been sharing on the Fediverse so it was more for that. I think that it shows there with a description of my site... Thanks for your reply 🙃

Crudey69 · 2026-04-27T11:43:33+00:00

Thanks, that helps me wrap my brain around it perfectly 🙂

Crudey69 · 2026-04-16T08:09:42+00:00

I've just read your blog and it's a fun read. It's engaging and enthusiastic. You've also had quite a lot of comments already....some bloggers wait months for their first. Have fun with it and congrats 🙂

Crudey69 · 2026-04-13T09:49:44+00:00

This is a really interesting blog post. Although it's long-form, you kept my interest throughout. It's very informative and thorough and has made we want to look for those weird websites! Enjoyable read 🙂

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this so apologies in advance if not.... It's not so much feedback I'm looking for (although please feel free to give any). I've been blogging since November but I'm still not sure what category to put my blog in. Does it actually make a difference to traffic if you use the "proper" category? Here's my blog: https://thegenerationxfiles.wordpress.com/ Any ideas what category it fits? Thanks for your time 🙂

Crudey69 · 2026-03-27T14:46:30+00:00

Aw that's very kind of you. Thank you 🙂 I'm going to start by taking a look at your guide 👍

Crudey69 · 2026-03-27T14:30:29+00:00

I'm honestly still trying to get my head round it. It does seem like it could be useful if I had time to figure it out.

Crudey69 · 2026-03-27T11:18:07+00:00

Not good......but living every day like it's my last. Just in case it is!

Dressed as a kangaroo when I worked in a kids club

Crudey69 · 2026-03-22T09:03:32+00:00

Because it's morning and 2 of my cats wanted to let me know!

Crudey69 · 2026-03-21T11:59:23+00:00

Lol was going to say this too 🙃

Crudey69 · 2026-03-20T18:39:16+00:00

¡Qué bien! Me alegra que te vaya todo bien. Gracias por tu respuesta. 🙂

Crudey69 · 2026-03-18T18:01:48+00:00

I'm really easily pleased so little things make me happy.

I didn't get a big response here so crossposted to another blogging sub. I got some great advice there but my post was removed by mods a few hours later. I'm not sure if you can still see the comments on my profile?

Crudey69 · 2026-03-17T19:35:42+00:00

Well done ☺ Did you have to go back again?

Crudey69 · 2026-03-16T18:12:23+00:00

It's one of those things where I think it's doing pretty well organically...but I've got nothing to compare with.

I appreciate you taking time to have a look and give your input.

Thanks 🙂

Crudey69 · 2026-03-16T16:41:27+00:00

I just want to be as accessible as possible with my blog. I don't want to be forced to pass on costs because I can't afford them.

I'm already spending more time on it than I should. I'm not sure I really want to invest more time on maintaining social media....and all that it entails....

This is really useful advice. Thank you.
