My first post was on August 5th 2004.
I'd like to think that five years is a respectable vintage for a blog. Does this mean I was an early adopter?
Early on, some of my colleagues and associates were pretty sceptical about my blogging. You know, that tedious thing of pronouncing 'blogging' as if it were something crude and slightly disreputable.
I've persevered because I enjoy it so much.
Over the last five years I've found I settled into a certain style, but also a sense of when I should post and when I should not. Received wisdom is that you should blog frequently. I've taken the line of only posting when I feel I have something to say.
However, I have a growing sense that my opinions on this are secondary. It is more important what you, dear Reader, would appreciate. So do let me know. I feel this will continue to evolve in style and content.
Finally, thank you for reading this blog. Your attention matters.
