About Another Blog: The Wideyed Wanderer.

There are many different blogs out there that serve different purposes. If you have an interest, I can almost guarantee that you can find a blog about it. The Wideyed Wanderer is a blog that I keep up with.

I first met Caleb when I was working in the school's call center and we became friends. I can honestly say that is a great friend to have and is a good person with a great heart. He had the opportunity to travel to the Middle East and work. To me, that seems like a terrifying thing to do.

I love to read the blog because you are able to travel with him and see what he is up to. By reading the blog you also get to learn about a different culture through his experiences.

I had the opportunity to interview Caleb for an assignment and asked him what advice he would give to other bloggers. He had a long response BUT I feel that it is such great advice that I will share it all!

 "Always proofread like 3 or 4 times before you publish! After you write, walk away for a few hours or sleep on it then come back and proofread again. Nothing is more embarrassing or frustrating than catching a mistake after you have published and others have read it. It is important to know why you are blogging, and what you hope to accomplish with your blog. If you love cooking, create a cooking blog. If you travel, create a blog about your adventures. If you are starting a family or want to keep people up to date on your life, use it for that purpose. Once you have the theme, get creative! Don’t be afraid try new things. For example, I follow several family blogs. When you look at these blogs you can find favorite recipes, family vacations, videos of their kids, photos, stories, even DIY projects they have completed. It seems like a lot, but it’s all centered around one theme: their family! At the end of the day the most important thing is to have fun. Blogs provide a creative outlet for people to express themselves. Don’t blog to get famous, or because you think people care about what you have to say because there is a high probability that you will not be satisfied. Use your blog as a way to express yourself in unique, fun, and modern ways. If you are happy with your blog and enjoy creating it, there is a strong possibility that others will enjoy it as well. And if no one else likes it well it’s not really for them anyway, unless you are getting paid in which case make sure that other people like it or else you probably won’t be getting paid much longer." 

I have learned a lot from his blog and advice. It is a treat to be able to read his posts and view pictures of his adventures. Thank you for blogging!
