Dom from Megatokyo is famous for not posting anything up on the megatokyo blog very often. I tell you this because [this month excepted] I’ve noticed that my posting rate has slipped from at least once a week to once a month, and if Dom can post at least every two weeks I’m kinda feeling ashamed that I, with probably way less to do than he, can’t manage to find the time.
My excuses for this have varied from: ‘I’m too busy’ to ‘I have nothing to write about’, but I know that neither of them are exactly true. Even Lady S manages to post every week. Even if she thinks she hasn’t done anything especially noteworthy, she always manages to pick something interesting to write about. And I know that is true for me as well. Gods knows I have no way really of tell who reads this [all the XML feeds my stats package picks up are generic ones: Sage on Firefox, Google Reader etc] but I’m sure that something I find dull might be interesting to some one who’s geographical location doesn’t do that sort of thing. I mean it’s always nice to know that what you say is being appreciated by someone someplace that you don’t know [hint: comment! 
] but it’s not an absolute necessity I suppose.
Maybe it depends on why you blog: if you blog for yourself – to record thoughts and events diary style, or if you blog to let the world at large know you’re alive and having fun, or if you want to get rich from a newspaper style opinion column. I don’t really know why I blog. I think at first it was because I mistakenly believed that the whole world wanted to know about the dull mundane stuff I did. Now I’m older it’s more like, I want to have a place to record what I think for myself [maybe for any future kid I begat], and I do have the small knowledge that there are a few people out there who like to keep up with that I’m doing [people I met once or twice at places like LUGL].
So armed with the knowledge of a small audience, and the wisdom to now not write about insignificant things, I pledge to write in this thing more often, and to also to do more blog-worthy things. I don’t know if this will stick, but I’ll try my best
