Diary made




A certain someone closely related to me suggested that it was perhaps about time I blogged (that must be an official verb by now), to which I replied that either I had to blog prolifically or not at all. One must either cultivate an audience and keep them tantalised with regular juicy morsels from one's interesting life or not bother. I've opted for the latter, mainly because it simply hasn't felt like anything worth blogging about has happened.


Not that that stops other people. I regularly read - and thoroughly enjoy - two blogs (GP and LP), but with a few rare exceptions most blogs seem to be nothing to write, er, home about. When I write, I can't help but think how I must come across, both to people who know me and people who don't. Perhaps the key is to write for myself, purely for the pleasure of self-expression. But if I wanted to do that, I would write a journal.


So, I'm not quite sure why I'm doing this again, but to make someone special happy (that's you, LP), I shall attempt to write more frequently, and to be more conscious in my daily life of blog-worthy occurences. I shall also post more regularly on "The Peas n Me"; in fact, I'm going on there now to post a little tiny anecdote.


And I'd appreciate any tips on how to attract traffic to my site...for example, what are these tags of which you speak?
