Thank You , Again!

Blogging With Success has always been special for me.

It was my first domain, my first serious effort into blogging.

And it was awesome! I loved the time I spent here. I wrote a lot, became a better writer, started a business off the success I got here and became an entrepreneur.

However, lately, some personal and technical problems took over and boom, what I thought was my "empire" (a small one, but an empire is an empire) collapsed before my eyes.

I lost almost everything.

But how can I leave my first dear project so easily?

I have spent countless hours on it. From adding new plugins to designing it(yes, me and Shirley built this theme on top of Thesis from scratch), I loved doing everything for Blogging With Success.

Turns out I will have to ignore it for some time.

How much time?

I have no idea.

There are a few basic problems about which I never thought about when starting this blog. And these basic problems bit me again. First, I decided a target audience who was too wide, "new bloggers". But what kind of new bloggers?

You know, "new bloggers" come in many varieties:

  1. Non technical ones.
  2. Technical, geek types.
  3. Technical, normal people (non-geeks)
  4. Non technical, non geeks.
  5. .......

Which one did I target? All of them?

Result, we write everything from technical aspects to other aspects of blogging. One month I wanted to focus on one thing, second month on another.

I loved the time but ultimately, it did not take us anywhere.

With time, I got busy with my life (going to college is no small thing! Is it?) and Shirley got caught up with WordPress Blog Experts.

And Blogging With Success got less and less time from us.

And at this point, I want to do some awesome things. I have always been an entrepreneur at heart and my biggest strength and weekness has been "ideas". I get one, I execute it without any patience. I just go and do it.

I am still young(19 years isn't exactly old, is it?) and have a dream to become a successful entrepreneur.

I want to play with ideas.

Am I going to leave Blogging?

Nope!

I love it too much.

But Blogging With Success has always been hanging between all this.

Blogging With Success, for now, is an archive.

We are not deleting anything. Not taking anything down. In future, I might return with a new focus and restart or resume it, but not now.

Blogging With Success has always been like a central pillar for me. It supported and gave lot of ideas for other things I did. And it still remains the central pillar.

For now, I am saying bye to Blogging With Success and my readers. Hope we meet again.
