While browsing the visitor statistics of one of my blogs recently, I saw that one post got more hits than it should be. Then I wondered and said I would look at the article and it was an article I wrote in 2014. I guess he got a lot of hits, probably because of the weekend exam. There is no problem so far. In fact, for some people, it should not be a problem for the future.
After all, the article you write attracts hundreds of visitors to your site, even if it is a few days old. But after reading the article, this posed a very important problem for me. Because I used an unpleasant style in the article, I swore, I wrote things I should not have written.
Considering that I wrote my first blog post when I was about 17 years old, we can consider it a success. But unfortunately, a problem arises. The difference between my thoughts at 17 years old and my current thoughts. Actually, this should not be treated as a problem.
A Sample Comment
Especially after I started reading books, I started to read his articles with more pleasure. I have been on a writing adventure since a very young age. I made the same mistakes in time.
But one cannot find the truth without making mistakes.Because, as the human body develops, his thoughts also develop over the years. However, the fact that I write these thoughts in a place where anyone can read them and reading them years later causes me to say I wish I hadn't written them.
In the years when I wrote my first blog post, there were few people who had a personal blog like me. Keeping a blog was not as popular as it is now. Those people had some popularity among personal bloggers, and I inevitably admired them and started writing like them.
Of course, in those years, I see abusive writing as an indicator of popularity, I try to keep up with people on the internet and most importantly, I do not take into account that my articles will be read in the future. As such, I haven't even thought about it once while writing unpleasant articles.
6 years have passed. When I look at the articles I wrote 6 years ago, the situation is truly a disaster. The insults I made to people during my high school years, the curses in the current political order, a dirty style. I can say that affectation plays a big role, especially in the so-called political articles I wrote. Even cursing the current political order was a sign of privilege. Or so I was seeing.
When I compare the first articles I wrote with the ones I have written now, it is obvious that many things have changed. Maybe I will not like this article I wrote 5 years from now, but at least I will not regret writing such an article.
Besides, I saw that not only mine but also my blog grew. Especially in this growth, not sharing the articles about my private life on the blog and removing the existing ones from the blog have been a major factor.
Yes, when it comes to personal blogs, the life of the blog owner comes to mind first. Even a year ago, I was advocating for personal blogs to be this way, but if you are not anonymous, this is a very risky business. The more objectionable it is for a relative to read the diary you keep, the more objectionable it is.
Especially if the friends under the age of 20, whose mentality is not well-established, have an idea to keep a blog, I recommend them to keep a blog, considering what I have written.
