If you've followed my work for a long time, you've watched me transition from a "" who posts 5-15 short hits every day to an "essay-" who posts 5-7 long articles/week. I'm loving the new mode of working, but returning to linkblogging is also intensely, unexpectedly gratifying:

🆕 post -- Revenue retrospect: 5 years of indie blogging

As a full-time , 2023 was a wake-up call. To explain, I'm sharing my site revenues over the past 5 full calendar years, along with the outside factors that made the most impact.

They tell a sad story but: I am grateful that I've been able to write for a living as long as I have.

For anyone who might have missed it last week, I wrote an article about why I switched from Gmail to Proton Mail and you can read it and hopefully share it with others via the link below.

https://blog.allthingstech.social/why-i-switched-from-gmail-to-proton-mail/

@protonmail also suggested that I apply for the partner program, which I did but haven't heard back yet. Hoping to hear back in the next day or two and hoping that I get accepted.

The Future Is Nigh, Roll Out

I was planning this for about a year. I thought to myself , if I want to keep doing something I love then I will have to be prepared for the changes to come. Technology is always changing and as a PC gamer I always have to keep un mind what is required to run newer games before I attempt to play them.

People keep telling me blogging is dead / dying / for old people, but I'm still enjoying it a lot.

If you'd like to join the April A to Z Challenge, here are some reasons:

🌞 A lot of bloggers join, and we all visit each other through April (and beyond)

🌞 People do fascinating themes

🌞 I always come across a lot of blogs I would not have found otherwise, and topics I didn't know could be so interesting

I’m on this list! I am officially federated by @Flipboard. This means that all my blogs, and my magazines can be seen all over or any platform like Threads.
Who cares?
Well, if you are a , a or a and the new Google update is killing you might want to consider getting traffic from other sources. Flipboard and the Fediverse sound like a good option. https://flipboard.medium.com/flipboard-federates-11-000-magazines-by-400-creators-and-enthusiasts-82dd94691f74

We're on here & I think we all know that virtual friends can be real friends, but there's still a need for IRL connection.

As we grow older it can become more difficult to make and maintain IRL friends. They don't have to be BFFs.

To me an IRL friend is someone who you would invite into your home or vice versa.

Crowdsourcing for a blog post b/c this has been on my mind.

How do adults make and maintain IRL friendships?

I will not use your name without permission.

Bloggers! How often do you go back and edit old blog posts?

https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2012/11/should-you-edit-old-blog-posts/

Once in a while for a quick tidy-up? Never? Constantly? Only if links are broken? When your opinion changes?

bigbeardedbookseller, to books

A reintroduction is in order.

I'm Stephen (Big Bearded Bookseller) and I work for Waterstones during the day but at night I blog about so many things.

I run two directories http://www.indiebookshops.com and http://www.indiepublishers.co.uk and am always on the lookout for more info for them.

I review books, music, film, and TV, read tarot, take photographs, cook food, and garden.

I also am owned by a cat of extraordinary cuteness.

Unwanted Fly La on Midsummer Girl – Music of July 2023

Another unusual name combination at your service! I want to say that it hasn't been easy as 2023 progresses, but I have to remind myself that it's just part of life. It seems I have now a common issue many us face as we sit at our computers all the time! But it's not serious so I'll find a way to manage.

❌ (тред) Вчора в мережі з'явилися фото з розбитим обличчям полтавського блогера під час затримання.

А сьогодні вже заголовки: "В Полтаві заарештували блогера, який принижував ветеранів".

На захист цього качка, здається, особливо ніхто не став, на відміну від ситуації з застреленим водієм у Дніпрі.

Мотиви поведінки блогера не до кінця зрозумілі, однак для себе відзначаю, що не останню роль тут відіграв фактор ведення соцмереж

I just want to say THANK YOU to everyone for showing so much love on my blog post about @protonmail that I published earlier today.

The numbers are awesome to see on only day 2 or 3 of the blog itself.

But also for all of the interaction on the original post here on Mastodon.

Good morning and happy Tuesday

Let's start off the day and discuss how we're all doing and what our plans are for the day.

It's work stuff for me, with a meeting at 12pm and 2pm as is the case every other Tuesday.

I'm also working on a product review article that is almost complete, so hoping to have that published today if possible. If not, for sure tomorrow.

Not much else planned for the day after all that.

Stylized 3D illustration about bloggers, for the Dutch ComputerTotaal magazine.

You might notice "META" and "WTF" in the letters. That's just coincidence… Uh, I mean… It was of course a visionary prediction of Zuckerberg's corporation. 😉

I think it'd be a neat idea to start a , and I'm brainstorming how to do it.

Not gonna use . sounds promising. There's an alternative called that, as the creator of the the Pelicanizer, would be fitting for my blog.

Does anyone else have suggestions?
