In Western Australia we have big signs wherever roadworks are being done in case people go the wrong way. This can be useful, but it can also be a bit confusing.
It’s a little bit like that with blogging because you get really curious to go down a certain blog path, you like what you are reading/seeing, but you are also uncertain of where exactly you are and sometimes the historical context of where you are, in that person’s blog, takes quite a bit of time, quite a bit of deciphering.
With my own blog, Wings and things, it’s obviously the same experience for new readers or followers because, of course, the latest post is always the most recent and, unless people have time to go back, they might not ‘get it’ that there are two different-but-same stories running parallel. The Love story is about the past but everything else is about the present.
As many of you already know, my husband has chronic Parkinson’s disease and terminal prostate cancer and is now in a nursing lodge close by. Our 18-year-old son recently had major spinal surgery. And me – I love birds!
I can’t keep up with the many blogs I am interested in, no matter how hard I try, but one thing I like to do is to go back and read the very beginnings of those blogs which is what I hope people will do with mine. It’s not that there is a wrong or a right way necessarily, but going back can be fantastic!
Oh yeah, and if you go back, you will find that I don’t usually do 4 posts in the day. I cheated today with the pics – hehe!

You are sooooo right, Julie.
One feels the need to keep repeating oneself on a blog, because you know a new viewer has little clue as to what you are talking about if they haven’t read the previous posts and has some idea of where you are coming from (and where you’re heading in the future).
It’s a dilemma isn’t it!
Great photo Julie … I now have a blog not that there is much on it yet and you don’t have time to look, but I’ll tell you what it is anyway – ingridrickersey.wordpress.com
The technology, while absolutely amazingly mind blowing is also quite ridiculous as there is no way we can keep up with it all.
Aha – I am going to check out your blog!!!
BTW I love your blog … it is one of the extremely few that I do read because it’s real and it’s heart warming. There just isn’t enough time to read more … ahh … so many blogs … so many books … and so little time!
i always look forward to reading your blogs. i can usually find something to cling to for use in my own personal life
Thanks Terry – that is a great compliment! Juliex
I go back and read too… and in this way as if you are reading a book page by page… I know how you love birds… I saw also how beautiful photographs… Dear Julie, you seem so beautiful too. Blessing and Happiness to you all, Thank you, with my love, nia
Today I want to check out your other blog too – you are prolific!
Newbies will no doubt go back – your deeply human story and writing talent will carry them there
That’s a lovely thing to say!
Yes, so true for us all. My blog grew more serious than how I started, but life grew more serious, too. Balance is difficult but not impossible. You’re doing a good job.
So are you!
I hear you…about keeping up with blogs I like.
