2010: The Year Blogging Makes A Comeback

John

Well, I’ve decided that I’m going to make it my goal to bring back blogging into 2010. I was silent for most of 2009 and it was a crazy year. Retrospectively I wish I would have written about things going on and maybe things that were on my mind and things that mattered to me. I used blogging as a way to “share life” with others who I don’t see all the time (and some who I do see all the time) but really it’s also a great way to take a walk backwards and look down memory lane to see what years past have held.

I’ve been recently encouraging others around me to either revive their blog or maybe return to blogging by starting a new blog. Today I got my friend Scott setup with his new blog/website – www.ramblinscotzman.com. So, you should check it out.

As I left a comment on his first post on this new site it occurred to me that my own blog still had a post from 2009. I think that this year blogging should make a comeback. When blogging was “popular” among my friends it served as a great way for us to share opinions, ideas, thoughts and just life. It make this giant world feel a little smaller when I could read about what my friends are thinking or doing. Some people would argue with me that this is what Facebook status updates or Twitter is for but I’d personally like to know what is on my friend’s minds beyond a sentence or two.

So if you have a blog that you’ve been neglecting why don’t you make it a point to update it this year and return to writing. I will be “rebuilding” a blog roll so if you have a blog (that you update) and would like it added, send it my way. I’m formally going to make a point to blog now so lets hope I can keep it up. Who knows if I can keep this up I might even do that redesign I’ve been talking about for years… LOL. We’ll see…

Night,
