Today marks a year that I’ve been blogging here! 229 posts in 28 categories, 35 real comments, and 5,071 spam comments blocked by Akismet. It’s been an enjoyable experience, getting to exercise my writing skills on topics from my life and dating to the technical minutiae of running a blog. The latter has tended to become a bit disproportionate, but I couldn’t see satisfying my urge to tinker without running something like WordPress and the 25 plugins I’ve accumulated.
Blogging about my travels turned out to be unexpectedly exceptionally fun. I’ve often kept travel journals that have languished in dark drawers, but being able to post daily updates from Oregon, London, and Aspen was much more fun for myself and family and friends who usually just get a brief postcard.
For the future, I hope to balance the technical and more personal topics, and of course, to continue to have fun doing it!
