Blogging – The Why & Wherefores

admin Avatar

I think I never celebrate my blog anniversary :)) It’s been 2 years 3 months now. OK la kot, celebrate the anniversary by reminiscing its chronicle…

I’d been writing blogs for quite some time, but it was no other than just write and dump, write and dump, until I ‘established’ (tak establish pun lah..) Sitilina[dot]blogspot. Sitilina was a rojak blog lah. I change the theme several times until now it is almost rest in peace. Almost.

I started to write this blog in February 2007, on the 11th. After I got POSITIVE result for my pregnancy test. It was then inspired by my senior who wrote about her pregnancy in a special blog. Macam best je.

Actually it was my voice to my dear baby in my tummy, so I always use ‘I’ to pronounce myself, and ‘you’ to refer to the baby (it was Hafiy!).  Furthermore, back then I was not confident to ‘write to the readers’ because I don’t think anybody would like to read my blog 😀 Until now I think I never write as ‘Hello Readers!’ because I assume all who read my blog are my friends. It is warmer that way, unless I am a columnist in any newspaper or magazine 🙂

After many months of writing my experience, I got many thank you remarks from my friends who claimed ‘inspired’ by my writings, especially on breastfeeding. LOL. When Nana came to our Miri house last time, she said “Aku baca blog mu la jadi semangat nok BF anok aku!”. Alhamdulillah, at least this blog brings some benefit, if not for all 😉 Thanks friends, you fill me up!

I choose to write about family : pregnancy, breastfeeding, parenting, finance and some others, not to say that I am good in those, but since our lifestyle are unique, when I write something and get several comments, it benefits me too! And I believe it will benefit others who read those comments.

I try as much as possible to be in line with the theme I choose for my blog, about family life, because it is near to everybody. Everybody has a family, isn’t it?

And now Fahry add more spices in this blog, cos once in a while, I’ll write about my special baby… And I think (perasan je lebey) some of my friends are waiting for Fahry’s stories. It’s not that I am ‘using’ him, cos out there lots of mothers blog about their special children, to share our experience and to tell the world that there’s nothing wrong with our babies. It’s just they have special features that not everybody has 😉

On top of that, I really love to write, eventually love to share my little knowledge about anything. And also to spread good things those I know and practice. Like what you always say, ‘sharing is caring’.

If I say I don’t drive traffic, macam tipu la kan. Especially since I have Nuffnang and Adsense, if not driving traffic, cemana nak dapat income kan? But I really really want to give only good things for my fellow friends who read my blog, maybe usually I merapu jugak. Tapi, siapalah aku ini… Bukan famous blogger pun. Nobody knows me pun 🙂

But I’m very blessed for writing a blog, I made lots of friends, and see lots of opportunities to help others.

My ultimate blogging dream is to be featured in a book like this:

Ahahaha berangan sungguh. Tapi kalau tak dari seribu impian, mana datangnya kenyataan kan? Alangkah indahnya donia… Kalau gitu memang tak sia-sia daku terbongkok- bongkok menaip setiap hari!

Bukan senang nak menaip, tambah dengan masa yang tight dan mouse yang tidak memberi kerjasama…

Ada sesiapa bole memberi petua untuk jadi blogger yang berjaya?

How about you? Why do you blog? Mind sharing? Does any other bloggers inspire you? *wink~

    lina,
    akak punya minda lain sket. walopun ada anak, tapi jarang nak cerita banyak tentang anak. november tahun lepas baru je punggah cerita syafiah masuk blog dia sendiri. sejak tu baru nak update but mostly banyak cite tentang dia je la. main blog akak sejak orang feed jadi blog politik di Beras Padu & Beras Terpilih langsung jadi lebih serius. penyebabnya pasal satu entry luahan perasaan je.. langsung aku takleh nak huhahuha… hampeh!

    buat posting/backlink/tagging games (bukan personal things) bebanyak… pastu register blog kat technorati, diggs, alexa, google, msn, yahoo. cuba juga belajar dari sifu – Kak Jie untuk popularkan blog hingga mendapat authority listing di google. kalo ikut technorati, blog dia berada di bawah ranking 50k blog terbaik dunia.. akaknye ranking di bawah 300k je… huhu!

      hebat!

      nanti blog Kak Sue pun bole masuk ranking macam Kak Jie tu jugak 😉

      eeeeeeeeeee…sue ni
      sampai ke sini dia promosi..malulah sue.

      Semakin ramai readers semakin malu untuk menulis hal yang peribadi…rasa macam life kita diikuti orang….orang lain mungkin berbeza tapi kak jie rasa malu.

      kak jie tak de petua atau tip…cuma blog macam biasa…seorang surirumah tangga sepenuh masa lahir tahun 60’an yang out of date…. buta IT dan belajar IT melalui internet saja….yang penting kita jangan cari lawan..

      dunia ini mmg dicipta dgn sifat berlawan, ada baik ada buruk, ada kawan ada lawan….mmg berbagai ragam dan perangai orang yg kita jumpa….jadi kita awal2 mesti sediakan ‘zone selamat’…I’ve learnt that no matter how close you are with someone, they are always going to disappoint you somehow and what you must do is to learn to walk away and to deal with our own feelings.

      jadilah diri sendiri…kadang2 kita down..kadang2 kita melompat ingin mencapai bintang…itu lumrah kita manusia tetapi satu sgt yg saya ikuti…jgn berlebihan .

      1. suealeen Avatar

        ya.. setuju dengan kak Jie.. tak pe kak Jie… ni pun salah satu cara nak promo blog orang lain jugak… tak gitu?

    akak start buat blog lepas kawen dulu.. tp x ramai geng pun… byk syok sdiri je cite2 dlm tu… then akak stop kejap…

    lepas tu bila dah nak dkt bsalin, baru ada mood baikkk punya nak start buat blog utk cite pasal anak yg bakal dlahirkan… (hmm, awat la akak x start awal masa preggy tu ek??)

    so la nie, best jugak ada blog nie, sb dpt jumpa ramai kwn yg sekapal ie on bf.. best2…

    1 lg, bila ryan (+adik2nya.. uhuk tsedak kejap!!)dah besar, akak nak suruh depa baca blog akak.. so, kalau degil tu, depa tau la mcm mana susah payahnye mbesaqkan depa nie..

    kalau x paham jugak, sah2 ku luku kapla depa!!!

    hmm, saya dapat inspirasi menulis blog dari seorang kawan husband saya yang menulis kisah sepanjang tunangnya sakit hingga meninggal dunia.. rasa macam, satu hari nanti boleh baca semula…
    awalnya tulis untuk diri sendiri, bila tau ada orang baca, bertambah2 semangat nak tulis… 😛

      teruskan menulis sya!

    kakyong start buat blog & 1st enri on 6 jan 2008.. tu pun sebab dok selalu baca blog cik puan siti sifir.. pastu tak pernah update sbb bz kerja (masa tu run bsnss sendiri),, & tak penah pk pun pasal nak update or penting nyer blog.. sbb takde ruang masa pun.
    pastu lepas dah bersalin kan aliya.. baru le ade update sikit2.. tu pun sbb pk menulis utk bacaan sendiri.. & almost hjg tahun 2008 baru reti apa tu bloghopp.. baru tahu, dgn blog boleh dpt kawan… bila dah ade kwn2 yg sudi mbaca, jadi lebih bersemangat plak.. lagipun la ni dah tak bz kerja.. kerja part time a/c pun dah malas nak buat/ambil.. sbb tak dpt nak catch-up dgn dateline depa.. dok catch-up dgn anak2 jer.. so bila takde kerja part time, hati lebih lapang.. jd byk la sket idea nak nulis…
    semakin sonok blogging bila dpt belajar & berkongsi dgn kwn2 macam2 ilmu baru..

    i mula BACA blog dari KMC, blog MoT time tu sbb ada rasa mcm sama kisah arwah anak sulung i. then lama lps tu, bersalin dan lps pantang pula baru start balik, sbb seek info,utk handle EBM and the most informative that time was Fid’s blog..then from there, i blog hopped to ur blog and others.

    i start my blog 2-3 months later after got inspired from my old good friend at Uni.yg nak pursue her Phd at UK..she said this is one way of sharing stories instead of email and cc to many recipients! but unfortunately, her busy schedule make her left her blog bersawang sekian lama! (aku lak yg rajin dok berblog ttg ntah hapa2).

    what inspire me to write the blog? nothing in specific…more on sharing my ups and downs being ‘new’ mommy juggle with office works and BF lifestyle then parenting. from this blogging thing, got a few new virtual friends ie. u, fid, lunatots, mimie dll. glad to learn many new things on parenting!
