This October, my blog will turn six years old with two years of weekly blogging. I didn’t expect a simple hobby to write to become this big part of my life. I am grateful for this journey and am on my way to make it better.
I read, saw videos and talked to like-minded individuals to understand what can be the next steps for the growth of my blog. Among the many things, one common suggestion came was to buy a domain.
My blog URL has always been thinktwicenish on WordPress. And I have no idea why and how did I convince myself to have Coconut Writer as my blog title. If I was going to invest more in my blog, I had to get these basics right.
Since one section of my posts, all these years has clearly been travel and the other sections reached all spectrums of conversations, I couldn’t fathom what the URL or title name should change too.
I have my name as my Insta handle and it has worked good so far. I couldn’t break down all my posts of these years to one niche and so nishanavgire got decided as the blog URL. Coconut Writer as the title had to change. This is the core I began this task. But to what? What should I change it to? This thought was in me for months.
Last Monday, I got up to a very sad start, for reasons unavoidable I had to miss my weekend trek. I couldn’t take it in. I was fighting with myself, convincing myself that I can let go of this unavoidable situation and just go the trek. But, thanks to some kind humans around me, I didn’t do so.
These people made me think twice about what I was about to do. They made me realize how over the years of my blogging, I completely forgot what made me keep the URL of it.
I have been a person of quick reactions with a twist of complicated decisions and snappy judgements. Something I really try hard to work on and hence had my URL as thinktwicenish to remind myself to thinktwice and not get snappy with even the tiniest thing.
Feeling really positive about all the change I look forward to, on 24th of this month, I finally changed my URL to my name – nishanavgire.wordpress.com and my blog title to think twice nish.
The next step is to remove that wordpress.com post my name and have the best designs done to present all posts on think twice nish. @nisha_navgire on Insta to discuss these changes further.
