Transparency from the heart of a pastor

Are Reblogs a Thing of the Past?

I began my WordPress blogging “career” in 2015. I had no clue what I was doing, but I guess I figured some things out. Before I knew it, I had 1,600 followers. A few years ago, I burned out and let the old domain go. Months later, I purchased this one. In retrospect, I have noticed some things have changed in the world of blogging.

My question today is “Are reblogs a thing of the past?” I used to see other bloggers share each other’s posts. Many would share mine. It was a great way to promote the work of others. The question came to mind as I did so for another blogger. It was not solicited, but I really liked what he had to say from Scripture about what it means to be a true disciple.

In a day when it’s every man for himself, let’s reinstitute putting others before self. I’m still the type of guy who wants to root for the underdog. This has come back to bite me a few times, but I want to give people a chance like someone gave me a chance many years ago. If reblogging is a thing of the past, let’s go retro and bring it back!

  1. I enjoy other Bloggers and reposting what others say for me has to be a moment which says Lord others need to hear this. When I take others blog message for myself I am engulf and I will now think twice to share others blog more and not just take it for myself. Be Blessed MOG let God use you as you mount the podium on Sunday Lord willing. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾⛪️🕊🔥📖🎶🎼🎵🎤✝️

    1. Thank you! I appreciate you and what the Lord gives you to share.

  2. I seldom reblog but I do something else that I’m not sure what to call. I like to take something inspirational another blogger says and spin it into my own post—from a different angle. Of course, I link back to the original author and post.

    1. That’s a creative approach. I am pretty sure I have done that a time or two.
