It’s time to write the final blog post for the year and I am taking a look back at what I have blogged in 2023, and in the best tradition of the form, to blog about blogging once again. And, if you missed one of these, now is a good time to catch up and bookmark posts for future reading.
Half way through the year I took stock, and in the first six months of the year I had written 43 blog posts. The average per month was 7 per month. January was the month with the most posts (10) and March and April were the month with the fewest posts (5).
Now, at the last count I wrote 72 blog posts in 2023! So 30 blog posts in the second half of 2023 for a strong finish in the autumn and winter, and an average of 6 posts per month over the whole of the year.
