Pre Covid blog world

 

I hadn't published on this blog since 2016. I thought I was moving it. I was wrong. My life changed, the world changed, everything changed and then it changed again and here I am , back on my Blogger blog. I have been on Blogger since March 2004. This was my first blog so I have quite an attachment to it. Nothing rammed it home better, how much the world had changed, than when I came back and looked at the blogs I had linked here. Some had not been published to for years. I couldn't talk. I had had a gap of 6 years. My blog was still here. There was traffic but not like before. 

I went down my blog list and checked links. Some had been hijacked. Some had been removed, a few were still active, others had had a gap, like I had , but were still there. The world before Covid, where we blogged and shared so many ideas. We shared information, opinions, inspiration. It was a place to learn a lot and get thinking. It was also a place to laugh. 

It feels very quiet here. Before , there was always a buzz. You could feel it. The internet is strange like that. You can't see people but you can feel the activity of the net. 

There are so many other social media platforms now and I belong to some of them. Blogs are still important , though, for exploring ideas, sharing knowledge and offering opinions. 

I have culled the blogs and have revamped my site so it represents the renewal. I do have to upgrade and update this. I am looking forward to it. There is so much varied content on this blog and we need to get back to that : varied content. We must be worn out by now. We must be baffled by a world full of things which are hard to deal with. The only way out of it is to reframe it with our thoughts and ideas. I am grateful for the pre Covid bloggers and how they put such good thoughts my way. I shall be looking for new blogs to share and am looking forward to finding them.
