BLOGGING IN 2025

 A year ago when I stopped posting on my old self hosted WordPress www.frot.co.nz blog, I called my last post "THE END OF AN ERA" and after eight years of posting on that blog it certainly felt like it.

This new Sift 2024 Blogger blog was a shorter experiment. I started out the year by saying I would post whatever and whenever, but soon became totally anal and ended up doing at least one blog post of some sort every day for the entire year. 

 That probably was a bit excessive for a blog that was only getting just over 100 hits a day, especially when I suspect many of those hits are bots of some sort anyway. But ironically the number of hits here on this now archived blog in 2025 after I have stopped using it and moved over to my new blog seems to be increasing every day.

For 2025 I was considering quitting doing blog posts altogether, and only posting new pages from time to time. But I must admit to being a bit addicted to posting something every day, even if it's a bit crap. 

So I set up a new Blogger blog for 2025 where I plan to pretty much carry on just the same. Possibly one day I might set up another self hosted website with a bigger menu and more pages, but in the shorter term I'll keep things simple and continue using Blogger because it's quick and easy.
