The author started a blog but has considered stopping due to lack of readership. Though few may read the blog, writing it can serve as notes for the future, help release and clarify ideas, and give a sense of freedom. Even if the ideas are not original, sharing one’s personal view can enrich them. Ultimately, the author decides to publish the post regardless of who may read it.
Do you maintain a blog? Are you getting value out of the practice?
I started blogging back in 2000 on a hand-edited HTML site. Since that time I’ve been through four CMSes (Pivot, PivotX, Bolt, and now Pelican). Sometimes I post about my life. Sometimes I post pictures. Sometimes I write about a project I’ve been working on. Sometimes I post a description and solution for a problem I’ve been having. Sometimes I feel a need to write about a funny or stupid thing that happened to me.
I guess the reason that I still blog these days is because I want to run a blog like the ones I used to love way back when. Not fancy. Not commercial. Not trying to make money. Just the sort of thing I wished I’d find in a web search for something like “will bettas hunt and kill tardigrades in the same tank?”
I’m not trying to be Someone. I just want my little piece of Net that I can publish on.
