I started doing this blog 16 years ago. I now have over 5,000 posts.
I really got into it for some years. I loved doing it. I’m a life-long communicator, and this was a way to write, shoot photos, and bring others along with my daily discoveries in life. By 2013, I had about 100,000 page views a month. But in years since, with the ever-increasing challenges in the publishing world, not to mention doing Instagram, I haven’t had much time to blog. I’m now getting about 15,000 page views monthly, reflecting how much less robust the blog is these days.
I think I’ve written about this problem before.
What I like about a blog, compared to Instagram, is the much larger screen, and the ability to write.
Maybe in the future, I’ll get more time, but right now, I’m active on Instagram 4-5 times a week. You can view it on your computer: instagram.com/lloyd.kahn
I have been reading your blog for years, I even comment every so often. I can never remember my instagram password so please continue with this blog. Fifteen thousand views a month is worth it.
Keep writing when you can. I’ve been following you since Whole Earth days
Instagram is great and seems to reach a lot of people. Great medium. Blogging less so. Progress. Thank you for everything you do – from books to blogs.
Please keep writing your blog. You are an important person in my life, even though we’ve never met!
Love the blog, seems freer than other formats. Not necessary to post as often – the tempo here seems organic and unforced, and we should be all out in the real world anyway; these things seem to work better as a kind of frequent postcard without eclipsing the things and experiences they reflect .
Mucho gracias !
Thanks! Good point about organic (as opposed to strict) tempo!
I’ve been reading your blog for over 12 years, as a platform for words and pictures blogging seems to me to be the best, while a picture paints a 100 words, they often so much better with bit of description and context. Best regards and thanks from over here in UK
In my opinion there is no need for instagram. It way to superficial and partly spoiling the lifes of tooo many children.
I love your blog!
