It is nearly time to wrap up blogging for another year, and I’m feeling all festive. Shout out to Jim Groom, who is blogging at all hours in the run up to celebrating 20 years of his bavatuesdays blog. Over here on my own domain, things are progressing at a more leisurely pace, and it’s time to look at what’s been happening on the blog over the course of the year.
In 2023 I posted 72 posts on here, and last year I made it to 65, and this year has been another excellent year with 61 posts. Although this era of tracking everything makes one feel that all progress curves should be going up, not down, I am delighted that I have kept up my blogging practice for another year.
It’s becoming harder to make ones voice heard across federated, fragmented social spaces, and I don’t use this site to bring everything together, so every post I share elsewhere isn’t counted (and that’s OK).
Instead, I am excited to look back at my year in blogging here, sharing what’s interesting to me, what I am working on and whatever else I come across that makes me curious.
