Ok, so I somehow managed to miss the fact that my blog is over one year old, so I’ll just wish it happy returns for the year now. It has been a long year – ups, downs, lefts, rights, although the year has had more ups than anything else, so I thought I’d focus on them.
If anything, having a blog this long has made me realise a number of things. The first, is that it serves as a great tool for remembering the little things that tend to get pushed out of your memory, so I think it’s a great way to reminisce. The next are the not-so-obvious-at-first-but-soon-become-obvious-very-quickly, such as the amount of effort it takes to constantly have things to write about and having the time to write them. Finally is how blogs can be used as a great way to promote content/software/or anything for that matter. My most popular post, sadly, but understandably (the search engines love it), is the iTunes 7.7 and 8.0 post. In just over a month of it being posted, it has received over 1,100 hits. For a relatively small blog like mine, that is a good amount of hits (just about an eighth overall).
