Confessions of a Blogging Virgin
There is no doubt that the blogging has become a big phenomena. There are millions of blog sites out there covering every subject imaginable. You name it, it’s been blogged about. In a recent .net magazine interview with Matt Mullenweg, founding developer of Wordpress, one of the leading blogging applications, it was reported that it’s latest version, Wordpress 2.0, was downloaded more than 1.1 million times and counting. Wordpress’s hosted blog service had recorded more than 300,000 blogs. It’s fair to say blogging is now a poplar pastime.
So why as a website designer/owner and someone who works as a search engine optimisation consultant, have I not already started to blog myself? The reason is I’ve been to wrapped up in my work and family commitments and haven’t had the time to fully sit down with an objective, direction or plan. So why now then?
Following my renewed passion for photography I decided to start trying to promote my photographic work more through the Creativecaravan project which I setup several years ago. I felt that the addition of a blog to the site was long overdue and was a necessary tool in the search engine optimisation of the website.
In the coming months and years I’ll attempt to keep up with the development of this blog and cover topics relating to my photographic work, web design and search engine optimisation techniques. Where it takes me and how far it goes remains to be seen so watch this space.
