The JOY of writing blogs (Pt.1) - my Sarawak.

FB Cover dated 24 Dec;21.

Spending the end of year in Kuching, I have more time to reflect of the many years ago that passed by as if they were yesterday.

I have been a blogger since 2007 and continue blogging ever since.

I blog on many topics of my interests, things I know.

Today's review of my blogs is about "my Sarawak", a blog about my journey along Sarawak country roads and places I visited.

The blogs is in three editions, the latest being 3rd Edition.

Writing blogs about Sarawak brought me places, meeting ordinary folks, seeing what they do and enjoying the good things they offer anything from food to music, room to stay and stories to tell and many more.  Anything Sarawak goes in here.

Total visits made to my Sarawak blogs as at 24 Dec'21, is indicated below:

my Sarawak (1st ed.) = 129,029 page views.

my Sarawak (2nd Ed) = 97,313 page views.

my Sarawak (3rd Ed) = 183,445 pageviews.

       Total pageviews = 409,787 pageviews.

MOOD 2nd SOLO

 

It's only in Kuching that I can get to work undisturbed on my 2nd SOLO exhibition next year. Time is ticking and I'm using google blogger to help organise resources and the marketing of the exhibition. Not forgetting FB, of course. I use google extensively for its many advantages over FB. Firstly, Google's blogger has one very useful function- Labels. This element makes referencing and cross-referencing of my works, a walk in the park.

There is another element called - Pages, which is useful to reach the major themes or subjects of the exhibition while on the main page of the blog.

This December I'm almost finishing the main appearance of the 2nd SOLO blog- which is important for me to move on fast starting January next year.

Today, I focus on the subject of 'Portraits study' which can be break down to theme e.g. Being MY.

I start the blog with portraits because that subject is closest to me, therefore easier and faster to move forward from there on.

My dear friends, to have a peek of the resources I've prepared so far on my works on portraits , pleasse follow this link....>>>>>https://moodsolo2.blogspot.com/.../Subject%20...
