Shel Israel posted that he believes blogging, at this point, is like e-mail was before it was a standard part of our everyday lives. It seems like a good analogy, at least on the surface. The lager portion of his post reflects on the idea that people who are thinking of starting a blog are unsure of what they’ll talk about. I certainly have struggled with that.
My original e-mail to Rod about blogging here said that I wanted to share my day-to-day problems and solutions. I slipped away from that at some point. I was feeling a bit uninspired by my normal operations, mainly because I didn’t think they were particularly worthy of sharing with the world. I don’t want to go into things outside of technology here, so it was at a bit of a crossroads.
I have come to realize that even some of the minutia of daily admin life can be blogworthy. Not everything, mind you. Most people don’t care about the fact that I added two columns to a report today. I don’t blame them. It wasn’t all that interesting to me either. I’m trying to get back on track, though. I’ll be spending more quality time writing posts, so you should see more coming soon.
Who knows, I might even catch Chris’s blog worth!
