No matter which blogging platform you decide to opt with, Blogger, Wordpress or Tumblr or recent additions, Ghost & Medium and despite that blogs and blogging has fallen out of favour with most people, there is still something about having a space dedicated to expressing your thoughts, ideas, passions, opinions free from adverts and tons of social networking and media status updates that is your very own. Having been a blogger for almost 3 or 4 years now, I've been getting the hang of it and understanding how it all works out. I guess it also helps as I used to study media studies and journalism at college and university and so, the writing aspect of it, particularly with regards to blogging is nothing new to me. Though I am still discovering things I haven't managed to get around doing, as well as with all the technical stuff with blogging that I haven't managed to grasp, I am still finding things to post. I am a blogger, not a journalist, nor a writer.
For the past couple of months, I've been focusing a lot on movie reviews and films that I have seen and for what it's worth, it has given me lots of pleasure and interest, as well as given me something to blog about. In addition to having more appreciation for movies, far more so than I'd originally did.
