People Are Going To Read What Catches Their Attention

Thursday, September 24, 2026 – 2:30 AM

How do you write what people actually want to read?

I don’t think there is a magic formula for catching someone’s attention to your writing. For me, I just try to keep it real. I write like I talk. Some people like that. Some people don’t. It’s okay either way. You’re not ever going to appeal to all audiences.

Thanks for reading I Got Your Crazy!

IGYCRAZY is my brand new blog, a side gig, that I launched on Tuesday, September 15th, 2026. On this blog, I answer the Jetpack daily writing prompts, post random thoughts (Jibber Jabber), and other stuff. Comments are welcome, but are moderated.

I also write as i speak, like you said, you can’t please everyone. I write as an outlet for me so i hope people read and enjoy my blog but its not my be all and end all. I think people should write for themselves, it’s about enjoying what you do.

We curate our site and our content around what matters to us, and then it will find its audience. I think blogging has something for everyone, so we should feel free to write what we want.

True but before going with what catches their attention, most have an idea of the type of reading they like…

WIKIPEDIA:

I like to explore Wikipedia to try and learn something new every day if time permits. Soon I will be adding a Wikipedia Directory section to my blog, with navigation similar to the Wordpress Support links below, where I will start adding links to a variety of Wikipedia articles of interest.

A • B • C • D • E • F • G • H • I • J • K • L • M • N • O • P • Q • R • S • T • U • V • W • X • Y • Z

No articles have been listed yet.

Wordpress support:

It’s a slow project, but I’m working on adding alpabetically ordered links to various Wordpress Support Guides. The links below will help you easily navigate through this section of the blog, or you can just click on the Wordpress Support category to browse the posts.

A • B • C • D • E • F • G • H • I • J • K • L • M • N • O • P • Q • R • S • T • U • V • W • X • Y • Z

Note: To save you from wasting your time, I have so far only completed the A – B posts.

About Me:

I am a blogger, and content creator operating this blog in Southeast Alabama since Tuesday, September 15th, 2026 at 9:45 AM CST. Some parts of this blog are “under construction”, and some major site building is happening, but for the most part, this project is in full swing. Currently I am posting answers to the daily Jetpack writing prompts, curating hot pics from Threads, and more. More info about this blog is available on the About page.

My Blogging Pet Peeves:

My time is valuable. I won’t waste it on poorly maintained blogs or endless scrolling. As a pre-Gutenberg blogger, I expect at minimum pagination, or at least Categories and Archives navigation blocks used to prevent trying to navigate frustrating themes that bury content. Beginner bloggers may still be learning, but bloggers here before I joined in 2014 should know better. Respect your readers with easy navigation. I recommend two-column WordPress themes: posts in the main column, Categories and Archives in the sidebar. My choice for CRAYY.co is the Bitacora Theme, a Gutenberg block theme by Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com. Wordpress.com Staff and members in the Wordpress.com Support Forums can assist you with site building. You can also find many helpful guides in the Wordpress.com Support Center. Some of you with Wordpress.com accounts need to be working on your Gravatar profile as well. I hate visiting Gravatar profiles when people like my posts, and the profiles are blank, or don’t even have a link to their blog or social media. Please don’t waste my time.
