Two Thousand Posts Down… Now What?

5000 WordPress followers | Two Thousand Posts Down... Now What? | Thank You So Much, Everyone!

It’s that time of the week again where I share a filler post because the body wash is still slightly hurting my eye and also it’s a nice break from longer, more time consuming posts. Today, I actually have something amazing to celebrate. I have officially written two thousand posts on my blog! I know that may not sound like a lot to those of you that post more often or stick to a rigid schedule. But for someone as flaky and terrified of commitment to anything as I am, that’s a genuinely big feat. I also recently learnt it’s “big feat” and not “big feet” which is really cool but now I have to delete my search history and maybe burn my laptop. On a completely unrelated note, don’t search “big feet” on Google.

But back to the two thousand posts, isn’t that amazing?? When I first started blogging, I honestly just started as a hobby and as an outlet for my thoughts. I assumed it would be fun for a few months and then I would get bored of it. But this community kept me here and it’s why I keep coming back to blogging. It’s been nearly a decade since I started this blog (I started it mid 2015) and still I get just as excited to read your posts and comments just like I did on day one.

Platforms on the internet can be overwhelmingly negative so I am so glad to have found this amazing one. Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to read my posts and leave a comment or comments. Y’all are the reason I’m still here and made it this far!

  1. Good to hear. Keep sharing. I came on board as you posted several posts about restaurants and cafes in Kenya. Really liked the perspective

    1. That’s great and it reminds me I need to post more of those type of lifestyle posts.

  2. Congrats on writing 2000 blog posts! Wow! I have a couple of questions for you: Do you ever feel overwhelmed trying to juggle multiple social media platforms? How do you pour most of our energy into blogging?

    P.S. I’m not getting notifications for some reason and have to manually check them, so I end up missing replies/comments.

    1. Thanks so much! I posted something similar to that recently: https://lifesfinewhine.ca/2024/11/12/how-to-stay-motivated-when-blogging-feels-like-a-chore/
      I think for me the main thing is taking breaks when I start to feel burnt out otherwise I’ll just end up hating it and feeling bad for not posting too.

      That’s so odd, have you checked your notifications settings? Another blogger was having the same issue and it turned out her settings were messed up.

      1. I think I glossed over your blog post, but I’ve been so sick this weekend that nothing registers in my head. I’ll have to re-read it when I’m feeling better.

        I took your advice today and just sat down to type to see where it takes me. I fleshed out a rough draft about fire safety out of all things, but then my vision got blurry and I had to step away from my laptop. My struggle is getting started, so if I force myself to sit down for 10-15min it’s usually enough momentum to get started. As of late, I’ve been feeling guilty for not posting at all, only to perpetuate the laziness and end up avoiding writing altogether.

        I still haven’t figured out whats going on with the notifications. WP doesn’t work at all on my computer but it still works on my laptop. I’ll try and look into it when I’m feeling less sick.

        1. Oh no, I’m so sorry you’re not feeling well hope you feel better soon.

          Yeah, I think give it some time for you to feel better. I think once you’re feeling better you will be able to come up with something you like and you’ll enjoy the process of creating the posts too. Maybe you just need to clear your cache on your laptop, that usually fixes those weird glitches.

  3. Wow Congratulation Pooja! That Is a milestone:)

    1. Thanks so much!

  4. Congrats Pooj! That is a wonderful milestone to reach! So excited to be a part of your journey and to follow you! X

    1. Thank you so much! We all go at our own pace don’t worry. There was like two years where I posted twice a day, I think that really helped get me to 2000.

  15. Wow I think 2,000 is amazing. That is a lot of posts. My Leonberger blog is coming up on 300 at the end of the year and my new superfactful one will be 40, hopefully 50 by the end if the year. I feel like a slacker now. 2,000 is quite impressive. Big congratulations on 2000 💖🏆🥇🥂

    1. Thank you so much. Haha to be fair I’ve been on here a long time and there was like two years where I posted twice a day when I was in university and not too busy 😊

      1. That’s 2-3 business years for me😅

  20. Keep writing, Pooja. First for yourself and for others too.

    1. Thank you so much.

  21. Congrats on an amazing milestone. I have to search big feet now because curiosity is a powerful thing, lol

    1. Thank you so much. Lol noooo don’t make the mistake I did.

      1. Too late. I found that Paris Hilton has the same shoe size as my grandmother had and that Paris Hilton hates the size of her feet, lol.

        1. Well now you know I guess lol.

      1. 😂👏👏

  23. Well done Pooj!!

  24. 2001 is the next step, Pooja 🥰

    1. Yup, it’ll be here soon 😊

  25. That IS a huge feat (hahahah) and I do heartily congratulate you. In a day where 140 characters is considered verbose, I salute your choice to use all your words.

    As for what’s next, I would recommend not thinking about it. Seriously. Just go with the flow and write. Let the days, weeks, months and years go by. It’ll happen quicker than can be imagined 😀

    1. Haha thank you so much. Some of us have to do what we can to keep the written word alive. That’s what I plan to do, write when I can and have fun with it 😊

    1. Lol I’m glad you caught that joke 😅

  34. Congratulations! If I add my good wishes for many more posts, will that prod your terror of commitment? (Good wishes, anyway.)

    1. Thank you! I think when it comes to blogging my fear of commitment disappears which I’m happy about.

  35. Congratulations! Your journey sounds similar to mine. I started in Jan 2014 and thought it would be fun, and as a recovery from a bypass heart surgery. And here I am with you, enjoying WP more than I ever thought I would! Best wishes Phil

  41. Dear Pooja G,

    Hello! I would like to send you this “Appreciation Award for your having published 2000 posts:

    https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/soundeagle-appreciation-award.jpg

    Please enjoy the gift as we celebrate your accomplishment!

    All the best to your next 2000 posts!

    Yours sincerely,
    SoundEagle🦅

    1. Oh wow, thank you so much I truly appreciate that!

      1. Dear Pooja,

        You are very welcome! Such a milestone of publishing so profusely and consistently totalling 2000 posts is not to be trivialized, unheeded or forgotten, and thus deserves a decent acknowledgement from me here.

        If you would like some fresh and novel ideas for your next post by way of experimenting with a new way of creating poetry, then I would like to invite you to participate in the 📜 Collaborative Poetry Challenge ✍🏻 in my post metaphorically entitled “📈🌆 Growing Humanity with Artificial Intelligence: A Sociotechnological Petri Dish with Latent Threats, Existential Risks and Challenging Prospects 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦🤖🧫☣️“, which has been much expanded in scope and length, and which is best viewed on a desktop or laptop computer, as it contains very large and intricate illustrations and animations.

        As you can see in the post, eleven persons have completed the challenge so far, and two of them even took up the challenge twice. The detail on how to participate in the challenge can be found in the said post published at

        https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/2024/04/17/growing-humanity-with-artificial-intelligence-a-sociotechnological-petri-dish/

        Overall, this post provides much more than just an avenue for some people to take up the challenge of exercising their minds and poetic flairs. It also presents a great opportunity for readers to learn something in an analytical and critical way. Please enjoy!

        Yours sincerely,
        SoundEagle🦅
