A year of blogging
April 20th, 2006 at 15:44
On April 19th 2005, I started a blog. At the time, I had a great deal of contempt for the blogging concept, being a relatively old-skool webmaster who prefers to code his own things, and not wanting to publicise the fact that I was a raving egomaniac.
I was determined from the start that this wouldn’t turn into one of those “Oh, I’ve got feelings and I’m so sad all of the time. Only My Chemical Romance can understand me now!” sort of blogs. I’ve also tried to remain “accessible” for people who don’t know me in real life- I didn’t want to the blog to turn into a stream of conciousness and lacks any sort of punctuation. The sort of thing that if it were written in a traditional paper diary (or Russian) would probably have backwards letters. Have a look at the MSN Space for anyone on your contact list to see what I mean.
“so like i went 2 the pub with jd and dundas and we got so pissed i was like omfg ur so pissed dundas and he thinks sex offenders shud b allowed to teach kidz and i told him 2 fuck off bcos of a running joke”
I think I’m essentially the 21st century’s Anne Frank. Obviously I’d be more street-smart and cunning than Anne. If asked by an angry German man with a gun, I’d just say I’m a Christian, but I’ve only got as far as the old testament so far.
But that’s enough of criticising my competitors and victims of a genocide. What has this blog achieved, that’s positive and happy and that, in the past year?
- I carried out a survey for the blog that was featured on a major political blog, B3ta, and a real life Newspaper: Wales on Sunday.
- Erm…
- That’s it.
So what posts have you, my loyal readers, enjoyed the most? What do you want to see me do more of? What jokes can I keep repeating until they’re no longer funny?
