The Sub/Conscious Meanderings of a Design Philandros

Passionate Relevance

Now that I have a lovely blog (in my opin­ion) the next task that’s eat­ing at me is to keep the con­tent rel­e­vant. But how, and for whom? I think this is the root issue behind why I’ve had dif­fi­culty keep­ing posts reg­u­lar instead of every once in a blue moon. Once I made the deci­sion to redesign my web­site, I knew that the real rea­son was because I wanted it done, not because I believed some­one else would appre­ci­ate it. But because I did it for me, oth­ers appre­ci­ated it also. The same prin­ci­ples apply to suc­cess­ful blog­gers. They develop con­tent that is rel­e­vant only to their own pas­sions, and because of that pas­sion, oth­ers see it and respond in kind.

Passion begins a cycle that, by its very nature, cre­ates rel­e­vance. Once an indi­vid­ual finds a pas­sion, shar­ing it becomes com­pul­sory and, once shared, it ral­lies oth­ers of the same pas­sion to rein­force and amplify it.

Logically, the next step in this “rebrand” is to gen­er­ate con­tent that I find pas­sion in, some­thing I’m will­ing to spend time on, that doesn’t feel like a bur­den. So I’ve decided on a cou­ple reg­u­lar types of posts that I’ll be keep­ing up on: Swipe Saturdays and Type Thursdays.
