Standing out from all the other blogs can sometimes be a daunting task. On the one hand, you want to provide content that others want to read, so you start looking at what people are reading about and writing about on other blogs. On the other hand, you don't want to sound like the other blogs and parrot the same ideas. What's a blog writer to do?

You may find that it is probably better to just do your own thing. Don't worry about what others are writing, what's hot, what's trending in the search terms. If you start off blogging with these lofty goals in mind, you may find that you never find "your voice", which is the much fabled unique style of writing that makes your blog represent who you are.

The best way to find your blogging voice is to simply write about those things that matter to you, that you are passionate about. You'll find that when you are passionate about something, your best arguments and forms of expression tend to come out. Parroting other writers and trends does not evoke that style of writing that makes your blog uniquely you.

Once you have found your blogging voice, you'll find that it's easy to pound out a blog post on short notice because you do not have to think about how to phrase things. You don't stop to think about how to phrase things during everyday conversation. Blogging is, for the most part, an everyday conversation; and it should reflect that. Once you've figured out your writing style, you can parrot all day long; but it will stand apart from others because it will be in your own voice. Or, you can go against the grain and write only about stuff you like. I find the latter much easier.

In this episode of National Podcast Post Month, I'm taking a closer look at the recent announcements from Crypto.com and their potential impact on the price of CRO. While there's been a lot of excitement about the new developments, I'm not convinced that they will translate into a significant price increase. I'll be discussing the following topics: The recent AMA with Kris Marszalek The launch of the ZK EVM chain The popularity of the Crypto.com debit card The importance of market volatility The role of FOMO in driving up prices I'll also be sharing my thoughts on why I don't think the price of CRO will jump to a dollar anytime soon.

Before Getting Out of the Gate

Tonight, I was working on a new blog project. Google and Blogger have been good platforms for me in the past. I was able to get the domain pointed and was working on the layout and template. Suddenly, the website was blocked. I had searched for ways to publish that were not subject to censorhsip. I wound up on the Hive blockchain. It's great for censorship resistance, but it's not without its problems. In any case, I was thinking that maybe I was being too paranoid. Now, before getting out of the gate, I have a blog censored. I'm trying to think of what I could have posted, reposted, or even been associated with that could have caused the blog to be blocked. I can't think of anything. If this doesn't pan out after review, I may need to look for an alternative hosting option. I was already looking at Publii as an option. It only requieres simple FTP updates. I prefer not to use Wordpress as experience has taught me that you an customize a theme and add plugins ...
