Redeveloping the focus of my PhD by publication

I stopped publishing in my different blogs since the end of the last school year but that doesn't mean that the blogs aren't alive. Authors and readers can ontinue to perform actios on a blog even though there isn't any new post published. As an author I do some work behind the scenes like checking on analytics, maintaining the look of the blog and even read many links on the side of the blog. I can see that the blog is read by many people even there isn't new blog post. For my readers I'd like to tell them to continue visiting this blog because there is updated information from the list of blogs I put on the right side of the blog as well as from links on Open Educational Resources and Open Courseware. I am still committed to this blog even though I don't publish a new post. I am also committed to my PhD and I am still working on it. I don't think it's worth to give up because there are some benefits to draw. A traditional PhD opens different doors after gettting the piece of paper showing that the degree has been obtained. Traditional degrees offer materialistic gains like making more money by getting a new job. But an open degree channeled by self-directed and open learning can lead to internal benefits like personal development and alternatives ways of earning a living that might not be easy. It's important to reflect on the best ways to reach one's personal life and eductional goals. But lifelong education is something to focus on because it's the fuel on our spiritual, intellectual and mental  life. I am publishing hre on this post and other parts of this blog the development of the focus of this PhD.
