Final day of Blaugust 2024 and it has been a good one this year, folks. For me at least! I started out with my usual expectation of writing an introduction post, maybe a follow up a few days later, and perhaps a Humble Choice review type thing and that’d be it. As I’ve already covered, writing takes a lot out of me and it’s tough to make myself sit down and do it when my brain just struggles to string…
Hello friends! I’ve been repeating myself a lot on the Blaugust Discord because I like to remind people that Blaugust is not a thing you can fail and to make healthy choices if necessary. A little late for Staying Motivated week? Eh! It’s never a bad time to think about this stuff. So in essence, all I want to say is that if you have tried to do Blaugust, you’ve already “won”. Whether you’ve posted daily, every other day, once,…
I noted this topic down as a potential draft a few days ago as I had noticed a blog within Blaugust using AI to write all of their posts. Obviously, I am not the authority on what people can and can’t do, but with Belghast’s post going live yesterday, I felt it was time to discuss. Which brings us to a question of ethics: Should AI-generated content belong in the Blaugust community? Spoiler warning, my answer is a no. But…
The other day, Roger asked if the dragon, ghostie, and cat in my blog’s new header image have names, and if not if you guys could name them. They do not! And I would be honoured for you peeps to offer them names. I do fear my husband would insist the cat be called Microwave (he has been obsessed with this as a cat name since he heard a small child proudly proclaim it was their cat’s name while he…
Hello there! Happy Thursday and first day of August, folks. For many of us, this means it’s time for Blaugust, the grand festival of blogging started and continued to be run by the super huggable Belghast. If you’re interested, I recommend going and taking a look at his posts for more information. It’s never too late to join the community, whatever you blog about. New or old. All are welcome… with the usual caveats. So, I realise I messed up…
Hi folks! I totally meant to do this a few months back, but it’s a big change and the backend stuff to get it sorted is super overwhelming so it has taken me a few months. However, chatting with a friend who wants to come back to blogging, plus the advent of Blaugust, reminded me that I bought a new domain and made new graphics for the blog and need to get them sorted! So we say a fond farewell…
This is perhaps a bad idea for me to attempt right now as I’m already struggling with everything else I’m trying to do (fatigue/brain fog do not make for an eloquent blogger), however, I have signed up for Blaugust 2023! For those of you who are unaware, Blaugust is a blogging event started by Belghast that occurs during August (usually), and its original idea was to publish a blog post every day during that month. This, of course, is a…
