Blogging

Do you ever click that link at the top called "Next Blog"?
Makes you realise just how many thousands or possibly millions of blogs there are out there, and the majority haven't been updated in years (much like 90% of the ones I have started).
I started this one about 2007 when I had time on my hands, a ton of ideas and not too many other distractions.
Nowadays Social media like Facebook, Twitter etc, plus catch up TV fills a large chunk of that valuable free time meaning blogging time is limited, which is a shame.

I went through about 10 "next blogs"and most haven't been posted on in the last few years, but I guess all these bloggers had the same idea as me of posting daily and building up a following of loyal readers who were interested in everything you wrote, but then coming to the conclusion that you were only likely to get the occasional visitor, and even less occasional comment which would usually be some troll type giving you abuse, causing the initial excitement to wane.
Also making you realise that your writings were on the whole only interesting to yourself :)

But here it is, so if anyone ever stumbles on this blog just say hello :)
