Twice this week I started writing a blog post and have gotten sidetracked before I wrote anything worth posting. The third time is the charm, right?
I haven’t written anything here since I returned from my cycling trip this summer and I want to get some use out of this website, so I’m going to try to create some reasons to write. We all know I’m a techie guy and I have some expensive hobbies. So I’m going to write about what I know. I’ll be creating 3 new categories for my blog. The first category will be ‘Photography.’ I’ve been asked to recommend cameras to a number of people lately so I’m going to start writing about cameras and photography here. That way I can refer them to my website rather than typing out lengthy emails. Plus, I might drive in some regular traffic and new readers.
The second category is going to be ‘Windows to Mac,’ which I expect will change over at some point to just a category on ‘Mac.’ I have had my 15″ MacBook Pro for a full week now and I think it will be interesting to create a little diary here of the roadbumps I encounter as I stop using a Windows-based PC and become a Mac user.
The third category will be a little more loosely defined but will probably be called something like ‘Coffee, Tea and other addictions.’ As I develop opinions and preferences in my choice of beverages, foods, and other vices, I’ll write about them. Expect this category to wander a bit and maybe change names a few times.
As I’ve visited my own website this week I’ve been going through the unapproved comments to my blog posts and I’ve made a decision. Anyone I don’t know, who attempts to link to another website or otherwise advertise a product or service in a comment, will be immediately marked as spam and not published. It was a pretty easy decision to come to. On the other hand, if I know you, and you’d like to link to your own blog or website in my comments, please do. I will gladly help you generate traffic to your site by linking to it from here as long as it’s appropriate.
So, I’m blogging again. We’ll see how long it lasts and how consistent I am.
As always, thanks for reading.
