Long Time No Blog
Why have I not been blogging very much in recent weeks and months?
- Twitter scratches my readwriteweb itch at the expense of blogging
- I’ve been busy setting up a learning portal at school combining Moodle and blogs
- We’ve been getting ready for the birth of our baby Jake. He is due to be born in May.
- School continues to be busy
- I’ve been struggling with a course to learn Java as a precursor to teaching IB Computer Science
- I lack focus and passion for blog posts. Is the blog for me or other people? The posts I have written with the most impact have given useful information based on things I have seen or experienced such as my post on buying a house.
I’ve noticed that more people read my Tweets than my blog posts. Twitter is more immediate and interactive, but it reduces life into a series of soundbites. I miss the process of research and long form writing that I used to pursue when I had more momentum blogging. Perhaps the birth of Jake will give me more of a focus.
