Changes to the Blog… What Do You Think?

Snapshot_20140731_2Hey everyone! I have an idea that I’d love to hear your opinion on. Instead of posting 12-14 articles from other people on The Culture of Awareness each day, I’m thinking of writing 3 or 4 articles myself each day about various subjects that focus on spiritual, social, and health-related awareness.

If I’m being honest, posting so much material from other people really doesn’t light my fire, and I’d like to start writing (and playing music) more but the responsibility of posting so many articles tends to keep me from it.

I’m sure the blog will lose some views if I go in this direction because I wouldn’t be posting so many articles, but I’d like to make up for it with quality articles from me (again, about 3 or 4 every day.)

I’d also open the blog to contributions from other spiritually or socially aware writers, and maybe it could amount to something like Waking Times or Wake Up World, which feature original material from the sites’ creators and from people who submit their work.

Hopefully, in the long run the views would be restored and more people would be led to the blog because of its original content, instead of content that’s already been written or posted somewhere else.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and while the blog’s views might take a hit, I think I want to take the risk and go for it. What do you guys think? Would you be more interested in the blog if I published 3 or 4 articles every day, instead of collecting and posting news from various other spiritual or alternative news sites?

I’d love to hear what you all have to say about it.

Much love,

Wes Annac 🙂

  3. Wes, I think your idea sounds great. I would also like to suggest that you keep up with some of your “series” posts such as the RA series. And the idea of allowing contribution from other Spiritually aware contributors is also a great idea. Rev LizAnn

  4. Hi Wes, I think it is a good direction to go in. Your own original work will be great to check out. At present (as you know) many websites are all sharing the same articles! 🙂 which isn’t exactly exciting. Also, I understand the ‘time’ issue, as posting does entail commitment. I, for one, shall continue to follow you. Blessings, Pauline

    • Thanks so much, Pauline! Your encouragement means a lot. And you’re right, a lot of sites do tend to repost the same articles, including mine. Adding more original content seems like a great direction to go in. Much love 🙂

  5. I think it is a fantastic idea. However, it would also be interesting if you provide links at the bottom of your posts of the other various articles and sites that inspired your writing. Kind of like a reference list for people to further engage in a particular aspect or subject.

    • Great idea, Karyn! I didn’t think about that but it makes perfect sense. I’m sure people would love to read more about the subjects I write about, and references to related articles would be a good resource. Thanks! 🙂

  6. Frankly, I like some of the articles you send, and I pass them on to others. Perhaps, you could be more selective about them, and pare them down a bit. May be limit them to 3 or 4 of the best stuff that’s out there and is positive? I appreciate all of the stuff you send, but sometimes it’s a bit much. I generally don’t read a lot of personal blogs. Thanks for listening.

  7. Hi Wes! I like the articles you send, because I can pass them on to others, and they are very informative. Perhaps, you could choose just a few, like three or four of the best ones, the ones that could make a big impact on us, and then also add your blog? I like your channeled materials, perhaps you could add those again, as well. Lots of love!

  8. Wes,

    It doesn’t hurt to try. ; ) What I have found and especially over the last 6 months or so, is that there are more and more of us connecting. I am now receiving a great deal of duplicate material from blogs that I have followed since I found my way to WordPress and some newer blogs as well.

    It has been interesting to watch the connections unfold over time, as I am an avid reader and do not have a blog at this time. I will “unfollow” blogs due to the material being reblogged from ones I have followed for some time, which I’m sure is something most people do.

    I must admit, being somewhat on the outside and observing the connections being made has been fun. But, this being said, new material is always a plus. You can always inform your readers on the location of said material and leave it to their discretion. You have a ton of options, I’m sure. Hell, you can always create another blog. : )

    In any case, I wish you the best with whatever decision you make. : )

    Much love,

  9. I think it is the right thing to follow your intuition on this Wes and post less from others but instead with your own postings. It is true that the same postings get shared by many different channellers so people see one person sharing and then other. I am sure your blog will continue to be very popular and much appreciated, go for it. Much love, Pat x

  10. I agree, a good idea Wes. If it feels right, then it is. Most of the other articles you post are also available elsewhere, and I would think that many of us also subscribe to those places too, so we won’t be missing out. The Culture of Awareness is you, and it should be whatever you feel it should be. And that can change from time to time too, as you feel is right. Just follow your heart, you can’t go wrong. Much love, beautiful soul brother. xxx
