I'm at the State of the Map conference.
Two different people here said "I like your blog!" on meeting me. It's so
nice to hear it! It's a nice compliment, and encouragement for the writing
I've done, and also establishes context for the following conversation.
It also felt terribly retro. The other half of that conversation was "Well it's been awhile.. I don't use RSS any more and with Twitter.." Yeah, I get it, personal blogs are a dying medium. I'm really on the fence about what to do with this blog. I want to keep it, but I don't post often. I set too high a bar for content quality so I don't post often. (See my secret work blog for what badly edited stuff looks like.) Also the design is depressingly outdated now, not to mention the software. Part of me wants to abandon it entirely but meeting people who like my blog keeps me motivated. |
