Due to the limiting nature of tumblr I assumed that only a teeny-tiny handful of my nearest and dearest ever read Why We’re Single. The recent abundance of disgruntled messages that I’ve received since I began posting infrequently is suggesting otherwise. Not only do I owe you an apology, I realize that you glorious people deserve to be kept in the loop. Yes, I have been a slacker. Yes, I am deeply sorry.
But exciting(ish) new things are in the works.
During this pseudo hiatus I have actually been in the process of brainstorming how to improve WWS. I originally chose tumblr because I am tragically technologically challenged and it was the least daunting platform. Sadly I have since realized that while it’s great for ‘microblogging’ (a real word! I was shocked too), it doesn’t allow for the level of accessibility and reader interaction that WWS needs. To break it down: I want to know who’s reading my blog, I want to enable more reader feedback, and I don’t want it to be so fucking impossible to find us in a Google search. As of right now anyone who attempts to find it based on word of mouth without the actual link winds up at a lesser blog that i don’t want people thinking is mine isn’t mine. So I busted out the big guns, swallowed my pride and decided that being technologically inept is no excuse for sulking in a dark internet corner. What’s that supposed to mean, you ask? Well, if you frequent the Yonge-University subway line at rush hour on weekdays you may spot me; I’m the frazzled looking girl attempting to deeply immerse herself in a copy of ‘Blogging for Dummies’ (no joke) while simultaniously trying to sheild the cover in a pathetic attempt to salvage what is left of her dignity.
So be patient with me. Keep checking in, because I will be making an effort to continue posting regularly during whatever changes I decide to make. Feel free to send any ideas or constructive criticism you have my way at wwsblog@gmail.com because I can and will use all the help that I can get.
Sincerely and adoringly yours,
- e.k.
