A blogger's life

   I'm glad that I don't use rely on my blog for money (not yet at least). I decided to google myself to see if my blog would turn up. It doesn't. I don't know if google thinks it's terrible, or if blogger just doesn't get enough traffic to push it up to the top spot, but if you google my name, or even "Kristen Eliker" + "Blog" you get nowhere.
    So in an effort to get more views, I've resurrected my twitter account, since it seems to be a lot easier to get traffic there. Can't say it's a guarantee that I can start making money, but I may finally get some views for once.
    This does mean that I need stuff to tweet about. Well, I sometimes photograph things for a hobby, and I am looking at buying a new camera, so that's not a bad option. In fact, I could post photo's every day, and then at the end of the week put them all together into a post on the blog. Which might make it so my blog actually appears when you search my name. Either way, it's a start.

   Hi, everyone, my name is Kristen. Since my main hobbies are reading internet articles and watching Youtube videos, I figured I'd try my hand at creating internet content myself and start a Blog. The blog won't have a specific focus to start off with, it'll mostly be whatever I find interesting at that moment. Prospective topics are  reviews (of operas and phone apps mainly), short stories of the fiction and non-fiction variety, and whatever random thought's pop into my head. My plan at this point is to do a big post on Saturday, a question review on Sunday, and smaller random post throughout the week. As this is my first weekly post, I have decided to forgo answering questions for this Sunday.

Hope to see you next Saturday!

   I watch A LOT of Youtube. It and TV tropes currently eat up about 90% of my time. I decided to start a blog because while I wanted to get my views out on the internet, I did not think I could ever really make it on Youtube or any platform requiring me to show my face ever, nor do I possess enough skill to be a good commentator of any sort. I decided that a blog would be better, but the problem with that is that I don't really read blogs all that much. And those I do read are mostly written by people who already have Youtube accounts.

    So I have decided to reach out to those of you who are currently reading to ask; what's your favorite blog? What subjects do you like to read about? What are your opinions on style? Do you think a blog needs to be funny? Does it need to have a steady stream of unique content? Do you just read because you like reading about the everyday lives of people other than yourself?

    Feel free to leave me a comment, and thank you for your feedback.  

Hello everyone

   Hi, My name is Kristen. Welcome to train of thought. I hope you enjoy long ramblings about meaningless things, because that's what this blog will mainly be about. I will be posting every week on Saturday, at least, with smaller posts throughout the week. If you have any questions, or want to know about anything, just leave a comment on the relevant post, and I'll answer all questions on Sundays.

   Have fun, and I'll see you on Saturday!
