The joys of blogging

Add comment March 22nd, 2006

Darren at ProBlogger.net talks about recapturing the joys of blogging, having been inspired by another blogger who wrote: “As I’ve lived my life out on the blogosphere for over two years (I started in December 2003), I found it to be something very pleasurable. It started out as a hobby, then morphed its way into a business. Somewhere along the way, blogging ceased to be fun and started to become more like work. When it did, my posting slowed down dramatically….”

He then quotes some tips, which I’ll re-quote here as they’re very good:
  • Blog about what you have a passion for
  • Read other blogs
  • Take a blogging holiday on occasion
  • Set regular times to blog

It got me to thinking about my own experiences with blogging, and my own joys. I’ve been ‘blogging’, as such, since 1998. Over 7 years now. SEVEN YEARS. I started as an ‘online journaler’, back before blogging was called blogging. In fact, I only actually became a ‘blogger’ mid-2005, but that’s only because my ‘online journaling’ became known as ‘blogging’. And because I started using a blogging tool to continue my online journaling.

Promotion at work

Add comment March 22nd, 2006

Earlier this week I removed a post I made last week, because it became clear to me that what the post was about, was absolutely incorrect. It was easier to just remove that post. However, it became clear to me today that what I thought was incorrect was actually partially correct.

The post I removed was about my excitement on being invited to management meetings that I thought I shouldn’t have been, and the only conclusion I could allude to was that I was being promoted. However, early this week other people received the same invitations. Therefore, I - along with those others - believed it was just something standard that was being done to everyone.
