Blog Version 2.0

You either have or have not noticed that I haven’t posted anything in ages.  If you haven’t noticed, then I guess that my writing is not that interesting. I became disillusioned with writing and with my blog, for several reasons.  Writing takes time and effort.  I don’t always have a lot of time, and sometimes it’s just easier to shelf it.  Writing takes inspiration … and, while there are many things I have to share, I have not been deeply inspired by anything specific for a while.  Writing takes motivation. 

I suppose it was a good measure of naivety on my part when I started my blog, but I was sure that my writing would be interesting enough to draw ever growing numbers of readers … but I did soon come to the realization that this is not the case.  Maybe this more than anything else is what caused my disillusionment … seeing the dwindling numbers in the stats for my blog, which was bolstered by the absence of comments or feedback to my articles (except for a handful of comments that have been posted).  I suppose I’m human … I need affirmation that what I’m writing is being read by someone … I need to see that someone agrees or disagrees with me.  The lack of feedback does create the impression that either the writing is not really interesting, or that the topics and content is not relevant in any way. I have been mulling over these things for almost 2 months now, and I have decided that I have 2 options: either I officially stop my blog, or I make some changes and try again.  I have chosen to make changes, and to push forward.

Back at the Grindstone

Just got back from a couple of days leave, spent on the West Coast ... and now I'm back at the grindstone. I will be posting an article about the West Coast when I get a chance, but I thought to write a quick side note to tell you that I'm back again, in case you were wondering about my absence ... and to assure you that there will be a new post shortly.

First Things First

I suppose you must be wondering what my blog is all about ... what kind of things you can expect to read about. Instead of writing about my personal struggles, my life and things that I'm sure no one would be interested in ... I've decided to write about the things that I am interested in: movies, games, technology, photography and travel. While these 5 subjects might not seem that related, they are all interests that I have, and therefore I do feel that I have something that I can share about them.  If you are interested in one or more of these subjects, then feel free to check back from time to time.  If you are not interested in these topics, then maybe I can convince you otherwise.

Please feel free to add comments to my blog ... actually, I really would appreciate it if you do.  Whatever you do, don't even think of spamming my comments.

All Things Start Somewhere

I've been planning to start a blog for quite a while now.  I started writing for it, and have even organized web hosting and registered a domain.  The only problem is that I just don't get the time to develop the website.  Maybe I bit off more than I can chew by thinking of developing my own website.  I've got a full-time job, and I don't have that much spare time to still work on building a website.  I just decided that maybe I should just start with a blog on Blogger, and then when I've got the time, I will build my website and move my blog across.

Anyway ... so bare with me, I do not guarantee that I will post everyday on this blog, but when I have got the time, I will make an effort to post something that is entertaining and hopefully a bit enlightening.

All things start somewhere ... and here starts my blog.  I am not that clued up on how Blogger works yet, so I will change and customize my blog as I discover how it works.  Don't be too surprised if my blog looks different the next time you visit, because I most definitely am going to change it.
