First Anniversary of Drew's Blog
Today is the first anniversary of this blog.
Some of the things I've learned:
1) I can't write something every day, but I have enough good ideas to write something every couple of days, if I can make the time
2) Blogs are more fun with links and pictures
This is a picture of my sister Kira with my nephew Mason (my brother Rick's youngest boy). Aaron, Kira and I went to Splashtown last year with Rick, Claire and the three boys, Callum, Braden, and Mason.
3) Blogger is the greatest. You should use it too. It's free and very easy.
4) Never post about your undefeated fantasy football team. You will immediately lose the next three in a row. Also, never post about your local baseball team being one game away from their first World Series appearance. They'll lose the next two. I'm not superstitious, but it's only prudent.
5) More people will read it than you think. I have been really pleased with how many people have told me that they read the blog to keep up with what's going on in my life. Thanks. I'm going to turn on the comments feature for this post, I'd like to see how it works.
6) People you really didn't think would read your blog will read it. Several guys from work mentioned that they've seen it, so I have to be careful. Er, not that there's anything to hide! It's funny, a guy took my "Helmetcam" picture to use in a flyer for one of the presentations I made. I definitely need to rewrite my Work page.
7) There's lots of cool blogs out there, and I'm experimenting with news accumulators (they go out and collect the latest posts and put them in one place). As soon as I learn a little more, I'll post a how-to.
So, while I intended this to be a daily diary of sorts, it's ended up more like a collection of occasional thoughts. Which is fine. I am writing more, and that's the whole purpose.
Late.
