It has been a year now

Exactly 365 days ago I went from being subconsciously interested in weblogs to having my own. I tried to capture this sense of belonging in my first entry. Being part of something far greater than any individual. It worked...

...for me that is. Apart from some generated comments (I learned spam is everywhere) I didn't get a single reaction. Some digital laughter would have been nice! But nothing. In a online world where more happens in 3 months than in a year in the physical world, change is key. Constantly adding new content, trying to appeal to a greater audience. Waiting a year for comments is probably not the way.

Maybe I should change the layout, the dark stuff is a bit dull. But making this second post within a year is a big step for me. Doubling content AND a different scenery may be too much for my 'regular visitors'. So one step at a time now, easy does it.

Once in a year posting makes it a habit and already I have my first entry for this year. So now I have to come up with a purpose for this blog, what is it I want to share with the world? Myself? Probably not. My views on humanity? Closer! This post is just to establish continuity. The next will be the first of a series. A series of what?

Be back!

Initial steps...

First contact with the person of your dreams; first presentation in a new job; first steps into parenthood: but nothing is like the pressure felt when committing your thoughts to a web-log for the first time. Here is no hiding.

The only comfort is the vast number of web-logs around: when no extra-terrestrial life-form has ever touched earth, and no colleague has ever been struck by lightning (especially when you needed it most) how big is the chance that someone will ever read this?

It's done. From here on, the only way is up!
