Receiving unsolicited blogging advice

Posted on

TL;DR: me post more!!1!

I recently read a blog post about a blog post and came to realise that I too struggle to post stuff on this very blog. I am conscious that I suffer from the curse of "I must make everything interesting!" but... maybe I don't have to suffer any more. Maybe I don't have to care. After all, if you don't like it, you don't have to read it.

I started this corner of the web to document my renovation and tech stuff for me and myself only. And Ben. (Hi Ben) But somewhere along the way it started to be about what other people find interesting, and... nothing really felt big or important or interesting enough. Hence the lack of posts recently.

So, a reset. Time to post more. They may not fit the predetermined categories, they may be completely uninteresting, but it turns out that not only is that okay, it's what I intended originally anyway. They're interesting to me, and besides I suspect I read these posts more than anyone else. Maybe, just maybe, someone else will find something a little bit interesting or useful too? That'll be a positive bonus.

The algorithms and view counts hold no sway. I forbid thee!
