Wrought iron

Saturday, 30 January 2010

I told Erk Willemsen that I still didn’t see much use for me to be active on Facebook. He is one of my most active Facebooks friends. He said that maybe I should post on Facebook what I write on my blog. I had to think about it before I burst out into laughter.
Let’s say that I would actually do that. After I finish the story that you are now reading, I write about it on Facebook. Something like: ” I just posted a story on Facebook my blog, that I wrote after I had a conversation about Facebook with Erk, etcetera.” Next I twitter that I have posted something on Facebook. And to be sure that I get attention, I sent out text messages to all my friends to check what I have just twittered.
It seems all to be about getting attention. I don’t know if I want that. I think that everybody who is interested in the subjects that I write about in this blog can easily find it. Why would I do extra efforts to get people to visit my blog? I cannot see what that would bring me. If there is anything that I would like to have, it is more peace of mind, more love for the people that I know, more clarity, more inspiration. That will not come from outside, and definitely not from anything I do on blogs or Facebook.
Anyway, here are some more ”wrought iron” designs, as some readers of this blog pointed me out. I have found an easy way to make them look a bit better.

On YouTube is a song by Adam Kurtz called ”Wrought iron”. And to my suprise it is a nice song:

You write a blog. Ergo: you want attention. What’s wrong with promoting it to a wider audience? All the stuff you mention – posting about it on Facebook and Twitter – can be automated… but then again, I don’t think you’re interested in stuff like that… ;-)

Nothing’s wrong with promoting it to a wider audience… Ant not doing so is equally perfect. ;)

Either way:
WOW, Frits! Thanks for sharing.

BL!SS!NGS,

A hypothetical situation: you spend a lot of time and effort writing a great book about obscure records, and the publisher doesn’t promote it, claiming that ‘everybody who is interested in the subject can easily find it’.

Would you be happy about that?

I love your stuff, and the world deserves to read and see it!
