Shorter Blog Posts

Posted on 23rd August 2009

Having started this blog some time ago, and only having time to post 3-4 articles per year has kind of got me down recently. I have a lot to share but with my full time portfolio management activities formatting long articles, reports and case studies can often be time consuming. In fact that’s the main reason why updates to this site have been limited.

This morning I took a step back and realised that maybe I was blogging about stuff in the wrong way. In fact the more I think about it, the more I’m realising that i’ve been treating my blog not like an online diary which is what a blog is, but a formal website filled with one off articles.

Looking at twitter and the various other micro blogging platforms has pushed me to shift my direction with this site. From now on, I’m going to write more frequently and worry less about how correct the article is.

Yes I’ll still post longer articles like the signaturebar story every now and again but in between I’m going to write about everything else that goes on in my webmastering life. From being ripped off by a seller and being pissed off about certain members of the web community to what sites I’ve purchased recently. Short simple posts that tell you guys about what’s going on. Oh and I don’t care if the grammar or punctuation is a little off, the main objective is to share and get things out there.

A blog should ooze with the authors character and share what’s going on in his or her life and that’s what I’m going to do from now on. Wish me luck!
