How frequently do you post abou the pandemic? Please share links to a couple of your ‘Pandemic Posts’ that you particularly like…
My blog posts are always about the mundane stuff of my everyday life, so as my life has been touched by the pandemic, I’ve posted about it as necessary. I even tried to be a bit creative with pandemic poetry early on, so am sharing links to a few limerick posts. Oh, and I’ve also included my re-write of Beethoven’s ‘Ode to Joy’ to be sung aloud rather than read silently 🙂
What kind of ‘posts about the pandemic’ do you like to read?
I like to read how ordinary everyday people like me are coping with all of this restriction within their daily lives, because that brings me a sense of collective community in this time of crisis. But occasionally I also read a few proper political article posts to get a feel for how other countries view things – OK, to be honest it’s usually America I read about, and I usually end up yelling at the screen in disbelief and frustration at the sheer lunacy of Fuckwit 45 and his ilk, but still…
How have you and your blog adapted to the ‘new normal’?
I’ve pretty much just carried on as normal, and have stuck to my usual blogging routine including successfully completing this years April Blogging from A-Z Challenge. Except I suppose my daily world has necessarily become slightly smaller, closer to home, and there’s a bit of a ‘Groundhog Day’ feel to what I’m posting about. But it’s probably going to be good to have it all down on record for posterity, to look back at once all this is over…
Have you seen any change in your blog stats during the pandemic? Also, are you posting more or less than you used to?
I don’t generally check my stats, so have no idea and am not going to look now, but I’m probably posting at about the same level as I usually do so I would imagine my stats are probably about the same 🙂

Documenting things for posterity–I didn’t think of it that way.

I’m sat here racking my brains trying to remember if I’ve posted anything about how the lockdown has affected me, and yet I can tell you exactly what I was doing forty years ago and even repeat conversations! I think I mentioned the pandemic a few times but I don’t think I did a specific blog about it.
Lockdown hasn’t affected me, by that I mean I haven’t minded staying at home, though I miss eating out which is something I normally do once or twice or week..
I’m like you, I never check stats either, but WordPress informs me when stats are booming, more so this past week when I was writing about the Block Editor.
It’s nice that the rules are being relaxed a little but I think I’ll stay home for a little while longer.
