Blog Tag Game

Surfing the Indie Web has become my hobby. Reading blogs about niche hobbies, admiring unique layouts, experiencing people expressing themselves on a sites they built... Coming from social media, it's such a refreshing change.

One day, I stumbled upon a blog tag game. Simple - bloggers answer questions and tag another ones to join the game.

I wasn't specifically tagged, but as anyone was welcomed to join, I decided to celebrate 20 posts written on this blog (woohoo!) with entering as well.

Why did you make the blog in the first place?

This - the most recent one - started when I was thinking about my freelance career. I wanted to have a blog filled with useful design/writing articles to show that I am knowledgeable about those topics. I used to make my own spot illustration as well, as a way to market my services. 

I quickly learned that a freelance career isn't right for me, and without any motivation to make it to the top of the Google searches, the blog halted as well.

It was only recently when i became so fed up with the modern internet and social media that I just had to do something. I decided to return to my roots. Write about things that I find interesting. No SEO, no sellable phrases, no pressure to earn likes or comments. I reused one of my exiting posts about ZRPGs as a base, but I found other ones I created a bit too stiff.

Now, this blog serves as a mix of a journal, escape and maybe some kind of a rebellion against the state of Web. I enjoy it tremendously.
