The Fight for Followers

One of my teachers said that blogging takes like zero effort and that if he could get paid a million dollars to sit at a computer all day he would totally do it. Now it’s obvious that he doesn’t “internet” much so I get that he thinks it would be easy. You post things and hope it gets noticed, but that doesn’t take into account all the planning that goes into it. It would be like assuming a teacher walks into the classroom without having made lesson plans, odds are that, if students could, they would walk out. 

Bloggers are like teachers, except we don’t get paid. We plan, have a specific subject, share our knowledge, look at the interests of our audience, get ignored, answer questions, and interact with people. It’s not easy and building up a following is extremely difficult, at least teachers are given followers.

This website is extremely helpful if you are look for the proper way to spell a word, since it depends on what dictionary you're looking at. The great thing about Onelook is that it will tell you how many and which dictionaries use which spellings.

There are two different ways you can spell goodbye and it shows that "goodbye" is the most accepted one. Most often I will trust the Merriam-Webster or the American Heritage dictionaries.
