Hey Folks. So over the past couple weeks I've been putting more energy into my Instagram feed and I thought it would be good to somehow share that information and those images here on the blog.
I've not really been very excited about blogging for several years now. I'm sure there are many reasons behind that but I don't really think it's relevant to go into it. What I am excited about is my Instagram feed. I've been using the app for awhile now but really had the inspiration to use it as a blog after looking at some other feeds. It's quick and easy for me to do from my iPhone and I feel like I am reaching a new audience out in the world.
However, I didn't want to just ignore those who have followed my blog here on the website (and mostly old websites) in the past. So today I added about a weeks worth of back posts taking the images and text from my Instagram. That's what you'll see as you scroll down.
A few thoughts: Number 1. I'd love for you to Follow me on Instagram. My user name is ronphilbeck. I think the Instagram platform is just a fabulous thing. The square image format really appeals to me and of course the filters are totally cool. Number 2. Well, I can sort of see by looking at these images here on the website that I could use a little more consistency in style. Not that it really matters, but maybe it would be nice and of course it would something challenging that I could consider. Number 3. Is it redundant to post here on the blog the same content that is in my Instagram feed? Maybe, maybe not. Who cares? Mainly I'm doing it because I once had this love of blogging and I was reaching quite a lot of folks here. There was commenting and discussion and all that good stuff. I don't know if that still happens out there in the blogosphere. It doesn't matter. I can do this for a while and see what happens. I really want to share what I'm doing and it's great to have folks follow along and be interested.
So that's that. You will notice that there is now also a link in the header labeled Instagram. If you click that then you can see the last 20 posts as seen on instagram.com. It's probably redundant to have that up there as well, but that's okay. It may disappear if I think things are going well here on the Blog tab.
Okay! Thanks so much for reading all that. Ha. Cheers. ~Ron
