Vanity Blogging

There are certain vanities to Blogging. Having your opinions and thoughts expressed in such a large public forum make it akin to writing an editorial for Time Magazine or Vanity Fair.
Yet is anyone reading these posts?
I have not been prolific in my blogging. A personal Facebook page, a business Facebook page and an attempt at Twitter have kept my thoughts both concise and insignificant. Why blog when I can do an unimportant one liner and receive immediate “likes”. A blog post requires thought, spell checks and proof reads. And where does that thought come from? Lately current events range from crisis in Egypt to a certain actor’s attempts at rehab. I cannot thoughtfully blog on either topic. Of course I am making excuses.
Recently I have had two Graduate Nurses who commented positively on one my blog posts. Narcissism! I must admit I smiled as one thanked me for the inspirational words. Although I only have one follower and rarely have comments posted someone is actually reading my blog. In fact two people, and maybe there are more! Perhaps I do have something to say. But what?
My intention to have a recruitment blog has been somewhat uninspired. How many ways do you need to read on how to write a resume and how to conduct yourself in an interview. How do you find a blogging audience?
Is there anything you would like to read about, topics that interest you regarding healthcare, the work place or job finding? I look forward to any comments. And if I get only one suggestion well at least I will maintain some blogging modesty.
