Blog Questions Challenge 2025
Light Thoughts nominated me for a challenge. How dare you challenge me? I accept your challenge. Bring it on!
Why did you start blogging in the first place?
I wanted to share my knowledge with people. I did not want the knowledge that I got only for myself. I wanted people who had the same problems as me could solve their problems. For example, I wrote a guide to help people develop websites on their Android devices because I did not have a computer back then. Before I got the idea to write that, I had a strong feeling to make websites. I really wanted to make websites. I wanted to get started as soon as possible. Since I only had an Android device, I learned web development with that device. Once I got used to making websites for about six months, I started writing about the way I made websites with an Android device. I wrote about it because I was sure there were people like me who did not have a laptop or a computer but had a passion for programming or web development.
Have you blogged on other platforms before?
Yes. I was writing my articles on CodeNewbie, and I got thousands of views.
What platform are you using to manage your blog, and why did you choose it?
I use VS Codium, which is a free/libre software version of VS Code, without any proprietary code from Microsoft.
How do you write your posts?
I have a _draft
folder in my working directory. Every time I get new idea, I immediately write it down on a text file.
Then, I leave it and come back to it with fresh perspective to decide whether I will publish it. If I do not publish it, I delete it. If I publish it, I continue writing or rewriting it until it is finished.
After that, I fix all grammar errors with Grammarly and simplify the article with Hemingway. (I am not sponsored by Grammarly and Hemingway.)
After everything is okay, I publish it.
When do you feel most inspired to write?
When a brilliant idea pops into my head, that moment makes me really excited to write about it. But I wish the idea would appear in daytime. It usually happens when I am lying on my bed at night, ready to sleep.
Do you publish immediately after writing, or do you let it simmer a bit as a draft?
I already answered it. I do not publish immediately.
What’s your favorite post on your blog?
This is a hard question. I like all my articles. They are all in high-quality and have strong voices. They are educative too. Some are even funny.
I think my favorite article is The Beginner Guide to Develop Websites on Android. This article has been rewritten many, many times. It was first published at CodeNewbie on 13 January 2022. It was the best article that I had written on the platform. I was happy that it got thousands of views.
I remember when I wrote that article on my low-end Android device. I still could feel the struggle that I was experiencing. The lag was really annoying.
That article truly shows my progress as a writer.
Any future plans for your blog?
They are secret. I want to surprise my readers. Be ready!
Who will participate next?
I believe lots of people will participate. This is an incredible challenge. It is like a web ring, connecting one website to another.
I checked people that I know, and they already did the challenge. If you want to be nominated, email me.
I am happy to know that the questions are not about math. Otherwise, I will regret accepting the challenge.
Thank you, Light Thoughts, for telling me about this challenge.
