The Lifecycle of Blogs

Thursday, September 20th, 2007 at 1:39 pm

Just like how life throws you a curve ball, blogs can do the same thing. You start out with the intent of having it do one thing, then it takes you on a path to someplace else. A lot of this blog was to act as a sort of technology information center based on my knowledge of computing. Instead, I think it needs to be something different.

First, I need to embrace better blogging technology than publishing technology. That means the daunting task of moving the few entries here. I may just start over because the focus of the blog is changing as well.

Second, this needs to be less formal and more conversational. The “expert speak” of most blogs is not what I am shooting for. Instead, I will go back to the old adage of ‘write what you know’. I wear many hats, know too much technology for my own good, and work alone from home. Each of these things offer interesting insights, if not isolation points, from the rest of the world. I will write about those things as it may be of interest to other home based workers.

Third, I need to make sure to post every day. Nothing personal, just get into the habit of talking tech or work at the same time so it gets done. It may be about new emerging things. It could be a rant about how the home office is going, or it could be about a new toy I want or got. In any case, I need to write about it from a semi-professional standpoint.

That’s where we are going so lets hope we get there.
