Two years ago today, I wrote my first post on this blog. The topic was “What is organized?”
I started the blog at the suggestion of my talented web designer, Nora Brown. At first, I had a little trouble getting into the swing of it. That first November I posted only six entries. But that was more than I posted in any single month in all of 2007. when I posted only 30 entries all year.
That changed on March 18, 2008 when I decided to try writing every weekday. That was an excellent experiment. I found that by including posting in my blog in my daily routine, it became easier. Also, I felt less pressure to turn out something profound, since it would be replaced the next day. Since that day eight months ago, I’ve written 147 posts (counting today).
A happy result is that my readership has gone way up. I’m proud of the number of readers I have who subscribe to the RSS feed of my blog (click the link at the very top of this page if you’d like to subscribe). Blogging has become a fun part of my daily life and not a chore at all.
I’m not going to promise you that I’ll write something profound every day, but I’m comfortable promising that most weeks you’ll see a new post if you check every week day.
Thanks for reading!
