Two Bloggers are Always Different

Here’s the email sent to me by Angel.

I noticed that your blog is now paginated and I was surprised as I learned that your blog contains 191 pages with 10 posts on every page which means that you have 1,910 posts in your blog published within 1 year and 6 months (estimate).

And from that number of posts and the length of your blog’s existence on the web, your blog receives almost 1,500 visitors and sending feeds to more or less 350 feed subscribers.

This is really a big success considering that your blog is just 1 year and 6 months old.

FYI, I am only new to blog. I already have blog but don’t really blog because I still don’t have idea what to blog even if you gave us some hints about what to write on the blog.

I scanned your posts from the beginning up to the present and I learned that you started writing journal since 1999 same is true with Mr. Olandres. My real question is why is it that Mr. Olandres is much popular and obviously very much successful compared to you?

My Reply

Thank you so much for scanning my blog, noticing my blog’s stats and appreciating some of my successes.

But there’s one thing that I want to tell you with regards to the way you compare me with a fellow blogger: “Please don’t compare 2 different personalities as if they are similar, because 2 different things are different and couldn’t be similar.”

You can of course differentiate the two of us but never compare us as if we are similar.

The Differentiation

Yes, it is true that Sir Abe Olandres and I are both Filipino bloggers but we are too different in terms of personality, even on how we deal with blogging. So, to start the differentiation…

(1) Background in Computer

You already know that I am a graduate of BS Electrical Engineering from a technological institute in Leyte. I knew a little about programming but I’m not really knowledgeable on it compared to him. Remember that he finished a degree in Computer Engineering.

(2) Smartness

During our graduation in College, I received a medal as recognition of my achievement. But this recognition is nothing if compared to those who graduated from a high standard university, just like him.

He is very much smarter compared to me.

(3) Friendly

You already know how friendly he is. If we will both count the friends we have since the year 1999, I think I am nothing compared to him because the truth is, I am a loner.

(4) The Father of Pinoy blogging

And the most important thing that you should consider is that I consider Sir Abe Olandres as the father of Pinoy blogging, while I am just a son.

He might not be the first Filipino blogger but he’s the first to start the blog-evangelization in which until now, he’s doing it through his blog, Yugatech.Com/Blog, and by standing in front of those bloggers and would-be-bloggers during seminars, summit or conference.

Conclusion

In other words, our success in blogging totally depends on our knowledge, personality, and attitudes towards blogging.

So, never compare 2 bloggers as if they are similar, because they can never be similar.
