Why you should post to your own blog, not on social media

I like how the snow highlights these tree branches.


In a way, it reminds me of how linking connects different 'branches' on the internet known as the web.


To that end, here are positive reasons why it is important to post each new entry primarily on your own site or blog, not on social media:


1. Having a home

A blog site is a creative outlet. When you want people to know something, you're going to talk about it here. This is where others will be able to find you over time and space. This is your home.

For example, people in my old neighborhood used to just drop by to sit on the front porch and catch up; this site serves the same purpose for me. It's something we can depend on so we can always be in contact.



2. Internet citizenship

This is called the "web" because our sites all interconnect with links. Hyperlinking is what gives the Internet its richness. Following links has helped me learn so much, and give back. Thus, your own site lets you do that.



Here is an interesting article that inspired me to write about this On Blogs in the Social Media Age http://calnewport.com/blog/2018/12/07/on-blogs-in-the-social-media-age
