People do actually read my blog (well, one person did at least)

Posted on

A few weeks ago, I randomly received an email message via the contact form on my website.

“What happened to your blog? I had good fun reading it, so was sad to see it only had 2 posts after you decided to revive it!!”

Upon reflection, I realised the following:

• People do actually read my blog (well, one person did at least).
• I haven’t posted on my blog for almost two years.
• I need a new blogging strategy.

I last posted on this blog on 29th January 2025, far too long after my first blog post, the subject of which was restarting my blog after my previous blogging efforts ground to a halt. Note the recurring theme.

I’ve since concluded that blog posts don’t have to be long, or even relevant. Nor do they have to change the world. They just have to exist — because someone might enjoy reading what I have to say.

So, here’s my new blogging strategy:

• Short blog posts
• Once a fortnight
• Recent random image from my camera roll to make it look pretty.

I can do that. Perhaps you can too?

Next on my list: reply to that email with a link to this blog post.
