People talk about having your own corner of the web when actually you have lots of corners. It might be under the same username, or similar username give or take an underscore. But each network that you belong to is a different corner in my opinion.
Needless to say that I’ve neglected my main blogging corner for a few months, and each time I come back all apologetic and that I won’t do it again.
Over the past few days I’ve had a good think about what to do with my blog, how to get more out of it and so on. I regard something like Tumblr as fun – it’s my short attention span blog, where it is easier to click on “Like” or “Reblog” to share something like a photo of a hungover looking owl rather than add substance to it. Twitter is where I chat to people about various random things that I happen to be interested in. LinkedIn is that scary professional place that I should use more to help me find a job. Facebook is where I share photos of my adorable dog (wait, I do that on Twitter too) and catch up with friends that I haven’t actually seen in years.
But what about this place? I’ve done quite a bit since I last posted and in hindsight I’m thinking “Why didn’t I blog about it?” Is it too late to talk about my wonderful week in Barcelona where I overdosed on Gaudi and went to my first football match in god knows how long? Or should I turn my handwritten memories into a “Top Tips” post?
I passed my driving test and got a car. I’ve been doing so many firsts in my little VW Polo that I haven’t written about it!
A lot of this is about hindsight, either I’ve forgotten to write about something or I’ve dismissed it when I shouldn’t have.
So my blogging mantra for 2012 is: You do something. You blog it. Now. Not next week.
