Did you know that a blogger is a blessed human being? Did you know that we have lots of privileges that millions of people do not live with? Did you also know that we have influence, without really realizing it?
the other day, i was watching Dr. Tareq Al Suwaidan’s Show “3allamatny Al 7aya 2″.. the episode was about Media, sources of media and how messages can be easily delivered across the nations with a click of a mouse.
The internet is one of the rising sources for spreading knowledge/information/news/trends & even rumors across the globe, and a lot of times while searching for something online, we end up on different blogs.
All this brought me to thinking, whats the purpose of having this blog? I remember back in 2001, i came across the very first Emirati blogs which were Little Designer, Bnafsaj, Dreamer7, e3ashig and later on I came across banoota as well. I remember thinking to myself, wouldn’t it be great to have a tiny piece of this huge world wide web all for yourself? a place where you can literally fill in with all the things that come across your mind, and normally, no one you know personally would really bother to hear you blabber about? I remember getting excited about the thought of having my own “piece” and in no time, somewhere in 2001 i had my first ever blog online (developed using FrontPage, MS Paint, Dynamic drive & lotsa ugly animated GIFS) i wish i had a screen shot at least to give you a good laugh on it :P. I’m trying to remember the very first post i uploaded but fortunately, i can’t, because I’m sure it was as silly as can ever be coming from a 14 year old teenager. However, i do remember that the background of my blog was of a black sky full of twinkling stars (yes they were animated too), if you really want to know how my cool blog looked like, check out this link, it was pretty much the same! lol
Anyways, so i started a blog for one thing, I wanted to speak my mind, i pretty much did not have a goal or a specific topic of interest, i wanted to have the freedom of speaking of whatever, whenever, while remaining anonymous (not like i said anything big anyways lol). Time has passed, and today my blog is 9+ years old… And if God wanted my blog to live for the rest of my life, i do not want it to remain as it started, that is, without a solid goal or purpose.
Today, i am rearranging my thoughts. I see traffic moving in and out of my humble blog, and yet, i do not see myself utilizing my full potential to provide a reliable knowledge base (no matter how humble) for the rest of the world. With you being a dear reader, i do not want you to navigate away from this page without having you gaining something in return, something positive Enshallah.
Some find the idea of a personal blog that mainly consists of personal thoughts, ramblings and adventures are usually an interest for “curious people” who normally like to know about other people’s lives, But personally, i believe that at the end of the day, it IS a personal blog, and if it had no sense of the author’s own personality, then what would make it any different from other blogs? what would make it Dxbgirl’s blog? or Miracle’s blog? or AH’s blog?
And so, to cut this long story short, I ask you;
1- What is it that you want to read/see in this blog? with this being a Muslim/Arabic/Female blog?
2- What makes you want to come back to this blog? or any other blog you stumble upon on the internet?
3- If you would kindly take the time to critisize this blog, listing down the good & bad, I’d be very appreciative.
4- If you think the star-background website is cool, I’ll re-create the look for 2011
