AN END TO BLOGGING ABOUT BLOGGING

April The First is a better day than many to make crazy new month's resolutions, being April Fool's day and all that. But I'm not taking the piss here, this is really my plan.

From April 1 2025 I plan to make the following changes to my blogging:

1. NO MORE BLOGGING ABOUT BLOGGING - Going on about blogging is the blogging equivalent of taking selfies, & I've been going on excessively about my blogs over the past few weeks. It's enough to bore the legs off a donkey. Black blogs, purple blogs, hit counters, whatever. I even have a tag for all these posts about blogging: "blogging". 

OK, that's enough, I'll attempt to stop blogging about blogging here. This is my current blog, it is purple, I'm not optimizing my tags for crawlers, and I'm not trying to promote it to search engines or social media. If barely anyone else reads it, too bad, I read it!

2. ONE HOUR MAXIMUM PER DAY - It's not like anyone is paying me to post all this crap online. It is an entertaining hobby but I really have other things to do, so I need to cap it. I will time how much time I spend blogging each day with my stylish yellow stopwatch from Ali Express. If my latest post isn't finished I will leave it in drafts and finish it off tomorrow.


 

3. LET GO OF THIS GRAND IDEA OF ONE POST EACH DAY - There is this voice in my head that says a real blog has to have one full length post each day. No more and no less. Where did this stupid anal rule come from? I would be better off without it. I want to post whatever and whenever, loose and free, without that school teacher figure cracking a whip in my mind.
