Blogging for over 17 years, you should try it!

Pontifications

I’ve been blogging since 1999.
Over 15 years! In fact over 17 years! My first blog was on Radio Userland and sadly is gone.
Then Movable Type in 2004, then Drupal and now Jekyll!
I have no grandious thoughts other than just do it! And I don’t plan this blog nor have I ever really planned it. I’m sure that’s obvious :-)
Forcing yourself to write daily or at least periodically or at least once a week is something everybody should do for at least a year. Why? To improve your writing! Try it not for money!
And if you get a chance, try it for money.
Both are valid and both are equally challenging. And yes I’ve done both. I blogged professionally for Bryght 2004-2008.
And it’s a YES AND ! IF you must, use somebody else’s silo like instagram or twitter or facebook or whatever the flavour of the month is in addition to blogging.
