My Kafkaesque life is evolving!

From a cult to a holy trinity
As powerful as the dragon.

Hello fellow readers of My Kafkaesque life. This is just a little update on the current state of my blog... actually blogs. Yes... My blogging style has changed through time. I used to have one blog (this one here), then I redesigned it and expanded it by adding another blog (the green one) to post some additional posts and that blog became independent and evolved, too. At last I added a Photo blog (everybody's having one, right?) to post my awesome pics of my travels. Hence My Kafkaesque life now consists of 3 blogs (click on pics below).

MY 3 KAFKAESQUE BLOGS:

1 My MAIN or BLUE blog (the one you're currently on)
Topics: Travel, Slovenia, Taiwan, Personal, Observations, Funny, Random...


2 My SECOND or GREEN blog (used for related posts)
Topics: Travel, Buildings, Skyscrapers, Videos, Funny, Models, Random...


3 My PHOTO or RED blog (used for hi-def photos)
Topics: Photos of travel, Buildings, Statues, Women, Random...

WHAT'S BEHIND THE IDEA

What started as a cult blog with one follower in 2008 has now become a movement. Ok, not really. But I love the idea of one name for 3 slightly different blogs, which represent 3 layers of me. When I post on the blue blog, I feel I have to share something important. Most people follow me here, the SEO is the best here. When I feel to be nonessential, I post on the green blog, where only few read. When I wanna post great photos, I can post on my photo blog now. And it's up to you, dear reader, to decide whether you'll follow one, two or all of them. I really don't mind, the choice is yours. I just enjoy blogging, I enjoy writing good posts, which are found by Google and other search engines and shared around the web.

By now I have over 40 pages. Pages are what makes my blog(s) special, because they help people to find stuff easier. My pages list all the important posts about certain topics, be it Travel, Taiwan, Slovenia, Ljubljana, Lee Hyori or fun stuff. Click on my link bars and left side bar to see all of them. Why do I do that? Because I'm a neat freak and because I want to be better than other bloggers. Isn't it good, to strive for perfection?

Blogging is passion, too.

WHAT I WANT TO BE

I want to be the best Slovenian travel blogger. Judging by the number of posts, I'm pretty far up there, the thing is just, I'm not really known in Slovenia and don't have many Slovenian followers, because I write in English. But I want a broader audience. Slovenia is small, I could only reach so many people.

And I want to be the best blogger about Taiwan. I will soon return to Taipei and I plan to take better photos and write better posts. I may update some old ones, make the better. I want to be the best resource of information for foreigners, who are interested in Taipei and Taiwan. I plan to visit every museum and night market in Taipei and blog about it. I will go deeper.

And I will continue to blog about travel. Wait till you see me going to Japan next year! Tokyo and Kyoto will be all over my blog! And hopefully one day Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore revisited and Vietnam, possibly Bali... All that won't happen next year, but in the upcoming years (at least that's what I hope for).

Asia and Europe will remain the two pillars of my blogging. I will continue to share my observations and be the bridge between East and West. I will add some awesome pics in the mix and hopefully a wide range of people will enjoy my blog and my variety of posts.

ROTATING HEADER PICS

Oh, and one more thing. During a geeky afternoon, I figured out how to make the header images rotate randomly (
this post helped me). Yes, I made like 20 header images for all 3 blogs and now every time you refresh my blog, a different header image will appear on top. Will it be Lee Hyori? Merlion? Buddha? Taipei 101? You will see, when you browse my blog. Who knows what photo might pop up there. I may remove some and add new ones when I get bored. So stay tuned. Expect the unexpected and keep reading my blog. I finally found my mojo and I'm completely happy with the core of my layout (two black sidebars, two link bars, rotating header images, pages, 3 blogs with same name and a mix of informational and entertaining posts). Blogging is fun now. Hope you enjoy it, too.

Oh, and while you're at it. Please subscribe or follow My Photo blog if you like.

Btw, I've just been added to Go! Overseas list of top blogs about Asia. Ain't that cool? Check the badge and click on it. Thank you for visiting, reading and commenting on My Kafkaesque life. I appreciate everyone of you.
