On Blogging

When I first became familiar with putting up personal web pages, I thought “I’ll never do that.” Such is the power of the word “never” that shortly thereafter I had a few small pages. The “Infrequently Asked Questions” title stuck to those pages because it seemed doubtful that anyone else would get any use out of them. I haven’t updated them in years, but they remain online because I still get an email every few weeks thanking me for them.

When I first became familiar with blogging, I thought “I’ll never do that.” Such is the power of the word “never” that… here we are.

There are a number of thought provoking and useful blogs online. There are also legions of bloggers writing diaries without the good taste to hide them in their sock drawers. That latter category doesn’t hold much appeal for me. I’m going to impose a few ground rules here that, were I king of the forest, I would write into the law of the land.

  1. I’ll only update this blog when I think I can add something useful to others.
  2. I’ll only add entries when I think I’ve written them without spraining the English language too badly.
  3. If that means the blog is infrequently updated or abandoned altogether, so be it.
