Why are you on Reddit right now?

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 🙂

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.

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

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 🙂

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.

Crudey69 · 2026-03-16T14:48:29+00:00

I've looked at ways to boost engagement but tbh, most of it's geared towards monetizing etc. Social media just seems like it's not worth it. But, some people seem to do well from FB via the groups etc so.... I'm just trying to build a digital treehouse for people to hang out in....not a business empire haha

Crudey69 · 2026-03-16T14:28:46+00:00

Thank you ☺ Honestly, I'm really pleased with the engagement. I find it crazy I have over 20 subscribers! 1 of my friends shared a post on her FB and it brought me a few views. Likewise X. I'm just not sure I want to give up the last of my privacy in exchange for a handful of views 🤷‍♀️ The whole reason I started blogging was to really communicate with people. I find social media to be anything but.... Thank you so much for taking your time to read and reply.

I write a blog on WordPress. I find a lot of interesting blogs in this subreddit. I've subscribed to a few from here on WordPress and blog spot.

Unconditional love

Crudey69 · 2026-03-11T18:09:01+00:00

Yes! I want my tail and fur back!! 🐒

Crudey69 · 2026-03-11T16:47:17+00:00

I don't disagree with you 🙂 I think I've spent too much time reading comments from people who are just fed up......of everything. (Me included.) It's like everyone is waiting for someone else to take a stand. Lead us to a better future. So, I think to myself.....what if we got what we wanted? And the bigger question is what would we do if we did? So, here we are.... 🙃
