another year of blogging
Posted: January 4, 2016 Filed under: Blogging 2 CommentsSo, here it is, the first Monday of the new year 2016 and I begin another week and another year of blogging. I’m not exactly sure how long I have been writing my blog. That is lost in the mists of time, as I am now on my third blogging platform. But I would have to say that my blog must go back to 2002 or 2003.
There was a time when I was not diligent about updating my blog, but for the last several years I have made a point of publishing five entries a week. Interestingly, I originally conceived of my blog as a forum to reflect on religion and spirituality, and my blog’s title was “Thoughts on Spirituality, Liturgy, & Religion.” I found that eventually, though, I was writing on a much wider range of topics, and dropped that in favor of simply “Csquared Thoughts.” More recently, I changed the title to “My Point Being,” which I rather like. I now even have a domain name to match.
One of the nice things about being on the WordPress platform is that other WordPress bloggers can Like my posts. What I find is that when I write about food, the food bloggers like my posts. When I write about books, the book bloggers like my posts. When I write about language, the language bloggers like my posts. That’s really nice, and it’s flattering. But then they follow my blog, and I get concerned that I will disappoint them, as I do write about those topics, but not every day. I may go several weeks without blogging on one of those subjects.
I blog about what is on my mind. I can only write about what is of interest to me. I can’t please everyone, so I have to please myself.
In any case, here’s to another year of blogging. I hope you’ll come along with me, and with any luck some of what pleases me will please you too.
Keep writing whatever you write. We’ll keep reading it.
Thanks, Boston Pobble! Always great to have you here.
