So. I decided I need to update some of my blogs that have gotten...stagnant. Or maybe more to the point? Have a bit of dead blog syndrome. I just looked at this blog today for the first time in a while and realized it's been almost three years next month since I've even posted anything to this blog. Wow. Way too long.
However...primarily it's been that long because I've started launching most of my new blogs over on WordPress. I officially have nine blogs here on the Blogger platform. I already have seven blogs on the WordPress platform. It would be more than seven, but I still can't launch new blogs from the WordPress Android app I use when posting and updating those blogs. Like the Blogger Android app I also have. (And, I think, can launch new blogs from...)
In fact, my most recent blog there, The Broken Hearted Troubador blog, actually has been getting the lion's share of attention from me. Because I've been writing a lot of very sad songs in the past year since the involuntary conclusion of my most recent relationship.
And I've been trying to post and publish as many of those songs as I can. Not so easy to keep up with, since I tend to write songs w/pen and paper, *then* transfer them to the blog. So I've written about 52 songs in the past year alone, but have only posted 21 of them to that blog so far. Hence why it's receiving so much more of my attention.
But...the real reason I'm here right now? I realize I've continued collecting cool shoe pictures religiously in the past three years and just have not had time enough to post them all, to either of my cool shoe-related blogs. And I really didn't realize it had been so long since I posted any cool shoes to either this overflow pictures blog or the original I Love Cool Shoes Blog. =p
I did make an extremely abortive attempt to at long last launch a cool shoes website. And...shortly after launching it? I basically killed it and abandoned it.
Primarily because I discovered I picked the completely wrong background for it...and then when I changed it to one more appropriate to the whole cool shoes concept? The old background didn't completely disappear. =p
So...the website looked hideously and badly Frankensteined in a very ugly way and I realized I'd made a mistake trying to launch what had been a dream website on the particular website platform I chose. Dream became kinda a nightmare.
So. And I don't even know exactly where that ugly website even is any more. That's how strongly I abandoned it.
But...As I'm looking at this overflow pictures blog, part of me wants to immediately start updating it with all the really cool new shoes I've since collected in the interim since this. Just not sure how feasible it will be because I've collected so many pictures I may not have space for them all here, either. Double =p =p.
This was also originally going to just be cool shoes overflow from the cool shoes blog...and...I am now realizing maybe I really do need some additional relevant content. Hence this post. Which has already gotten way longer than originally expected, big surprise.
I've also been contemplating launching another I Love Cool Shoes Blog over on WordPress. But, considering the above-mentioned abortive fiasco of my attempted cool shoes website launch? Maybe I should consider not pushing my luck. I think this blog and the other original cool shoes blog may be enough. For now.
And I do think I may revise my original thought about not competing with any of my favorite cool shoes websites. I've been toying with the idea of actually selling cool shoes myself at some point. I have to get my living quarters figured out and my financial situation squared away before I try going into the shoe sales business. But I think it could work for me. Maybe.
I have also discovered many cool shoes Facebook pages recently and at some point might want to do a Facebook page for my cool shoe obsession, too. Ideally one that will tie back into my relevant blogs here on Blogger.
In fact, turns out there are far more cool shoes Facebook pages than I would have guessed many years ago when I originally launched my very first I Love Cool Shoes blog. I've got a feeling mine would probably be the first cool shoes Facebook page launched by a guy...and a straight guy at that.
Maybe. Although I do know/am aware of one or two other straight guys that like cool shoes, too, but maybe not enough to have a blog or two or a Facebook page dedicated to them. I think, so far at least? I'm the only straight guy I know who is so obsessed with cool shoes. Anyway.
More later on all of that.
