I'm not sure how you gather those, but I wonder if you have noticed a similar down-turn in blog posts in the last 5 years or so? <br /><br />One thought I had this morning on my daily walk was that a lot of these new platforms are much easier to post to from just a smart phone, were as a blog can be quite difficult to post toSteve Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08062727836545335187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-82129584361600593572022-06-24T07:58:12.958-04:002022-06-24T07:58:12.958-04:00While vlogs, Instagram and TikTok may have lured m...While vlogs, Instagram and TikTok may have lured many content creators, many of these platforms are much harder to search for keywords. YouTube is searchable via a search engine if the creator includes the appropriate keywords in their descriptions. Instagram and TikTok are not searchable if someone is looking for specific content. <br /><br />As a creator, the time and effort involved in making Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14035565677611992715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-22461282029275032212022-06-20T19:54:06.475-04:002022-06-20T19:54:06.475-04:00Hello!

That's why I am so impressed with the fact that philofaxy is still going and that there are daily posts.<br /><br />Pink planners & deco - I think that the pink, pastel, stickers, and planner deco focus might be a result of the decline of scrapbooking.

Some blogs have a mixture of ring bound (Filofax) and bound planner content so they get sifted in to the most appropriate post as well. <br /><br />Back in Steve Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08062727836545335187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-42658394501734123252022-06-16T08:55:02.074-04:002022-06-16T08:55:02.074-04:00Is there a way to search (the rss feed) by post to...Is there a way to search (the rss feed) by post topic rather than blog topic (or maybe you already do)?

Even Philofaxy is duplicated by exactly the same daily posts on Facebook, diluting the strength of this blog, as many more people comment on FB than on here. But even Facebook is losing its momentum as Instagram and TikTok have been gaining popularity. <br /><br />Whilst I know pink and pastel Tim Edwardshttp://www.westwoodlodge.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-62414033860884986122022-06-16T03:42:42.895-04:002022-06-16T03:42:42.895-04:00I miss the proliferation of personal blogs that we...I miss the proliferation of personal blogs that we had a few years ago. I prefer them to vlogs etc most of the time. I wonder, have content creators switched to other formats because they themselves prefer them, or is it because audiences have changed their habits and would rather watch a video? Specifically, would it be worth launching a blog nowadays or would a you tube channel be a better bet?Wendynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-20614081481623783482022-06-16T00:38:47.158-04:002022-06-16T00:38:47.158-04:00Perhaps many have started to use another medium su...Perhaps many have started to use another medium such as vlogs, Instagram, or pinterest?Alicenoreply@blogger.com
