Due To Overwhelming Demand
It seems from the results of yesterday's post, everyone wants the Natalia avatar back. Though, I was expecting more votes on the silhouette of my head. The poll is still open in case you have changed your minds but I have abandoned the plan to stick with the "blinking cartoon character" avatar for a week. I was a bit put off by the rude private messages I got on MyBlogLog. The blogosphere seems to be a colder place for the male gender.Since this post doesn't offer much of your daily dose to keep thinking, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce the categories of posts I have on my blog:
- internet (30 posts)
- image (28 posts)
- video (23 posts)
- creative (22 posts)
- fun (22 posts)
- design (16 posts)
- computers (15 posts)
- ads (11 posts)
- hobby (11 posts)
- nature (11 posts)
- technology (10 posts)
- arts (9 posts)
- games (8 posts)
- health (7 posts)
- music (7 posts)
- travel (7 posts)
- cars (5 posts)
- urban (5 posts)
I hope you will excuse me for not providing genuine "content of value" for today. After all the hard work I put in this blog, the discouragement I get just doesn't leave much will to write. I have learned a lesson yesterday and that is marketing your blog is considered spam even if your link doesn't lead to a pop-up trying to sell you Viagra. I'm sorry but there is nothing for sale here.
I have also decided to switch from being an active user to being a passive user on MyBlogLog. So, if you would like to reach me and get a quick response, please send me an email. Feel free to spam my inbox with emails containing links to your latest posts. Don't worry, I will not flare over simple things like these because an email can be easily ignored if it is a sales pitch. Keep tuned for quality content.
The sun sets today to rise again tomorrow.

RESPECT!
Overwhelming demand will very soon be directed by consistent thinking quality, perhaps like yours,Ilker. Folks want interpretation, not just facts. Oracep cones thinking. Then you've got traction in the bogosphere (sic).
As a new reader of your blog it saddens me to see you discouraged and without motivation to write. How does that old quote go ... "don't let the b@%#ards get you down"
How do you define passivity?
I wouldn't call myself a "passive" user on MBL but at the same time I've never left a link to my blog in a message. I just click on sites that look interesting and if the authors want to follow up by reading my stuff...great.
So we won't be seeing the pretty face in our profile page anymore, sad, ssoooo ssaaaadddd.
@Brian: Passive means not leaving messages at all. I will just be reading the messages others leave just like the authors of Top 5 communities.
@Tcherokee: You will only see my face on blogs that I visit.
Hello Ilker,
I found you thru my wife Kwiz. The fact that you're discouraged just tells me that your expectations may be "outwardly" focused instead of being "inwardly" focused.
The inspiration to do what you do must always "begin within." Otherwise you will live your life as a slave to the opinions of other people.
If you're writing your posts to attract attention, you will always be disappointed. Write for the fun of it. Write because you love to do it. Write just to get stuff off your chest. Use your blog as a vehicle to take you where you want to go.
One of the 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People is to "Begin With The End In Mind." What are your goals? Where do you see yourself come December 31, 2007? Why did you start blogging? Think about it.
It's always too soon to quit. The difference between a failure and a success is to be courageous enough to take the next step when everybody else has turned and walked away. I speak from personal experience. If you quit and give up now, you will always quit and give up when staring in the face of Adversity.
A quote from my pending book is, "Keep risin' after every fall until your eyes meet the greatness of God's faithfulness." Remember that "a faith that can't be tested is a faith that can't be trusted."
We love you and need you to live in the blogosphere. Matters not what happens next. Don't Give Up!!
I must admit that the blinking avatar
was quite annoying. But don't let that discourage you, you have some nice content that is always worth a look.
@Manchild: Thank you for your kind thoughts. I'm not upset because of the mean messages. I was upset to find out that those people I called "friends" were mean. A simple "that icon is annoying" message is enough.. you don't need to start cussing!
Moreover, it was time consuming to remove those contacts because now you can choose to display only messages from your contacts.
In any case, I think MyBlogLog is too time consuming when you get caught up with it like Super Mommy.
Aw...I'll miss your daily emails, Ilker.
I look forward to them.
@Paula: No, I didn't stopped blogging.. you will still get my posts in your inbox thanks to RSS Feedburner! ;)
There are so many different kinds of people in the b'shpere, we must deal with them all. It is unfortunate that they can dampen your spirit, I am the same way, however, you must always persevere in the face of challenge. Many people admire you, so, do not let the words of some destroy the pleasure for others... ok? take care...
Please try not to feel so discouraged. Blogging is for YOU not for US! You must write what you think and feel for your own pleasure. How can one be discouraged if approached in this way? Don't give up and don't give in!
Awesome blog..pls keep posting! :)
