Blogger’s Remorse

Posted on December 21, 2007 By Tom No Comments on Blogger’s Remorse
Miscellaneous

I really detest blogs that apologize for the lack of recent posts. Yet here I am doing just that. Busy holiday season, concerts, etc. etc. etc., plus any other lame excuse I can toss that direction will have to suffice. But, hey, it’s only been a week since my last post, so I’m not as bad as some.

I actually had a couple of articles ready to go. I finished my Photoshop class Wednesday and was going to share tons of new ideas. That may still come later. I was going to write something about selecting an appropriate GPS for a present. However, with Christmas shopping nearly done, it didn’t seem very timely any more – a bit earlier might have been helpful.

As I considered a post about blogging, I remember an article I found some time back by Min Yung Kim, posted way back in the blogging dark ages of 2005.

  1. Start reading blogs.
  2. You start a blog.
  3. You become a stats whore.
  4. You become really personal on your site as the online and real-life worlds start confusing you.
  5. You faux €œretire€ from blogging.
  6. You cave back into blogging in less than 72 hours.
  7. You decide to €œget serious€ about blogging.
  8. You have a pseudo flirty im/blogging/flickr flirting relationship with another blogger whom you have never met.
  9. You decide that you must meet other bloggers.
  10. You take a step back and metablog about blogging and what blogging has done about your blogging.
  11. See step 5.
  12. You decide that as a result of step 10 and having repeated step 5 more than 3 times in the course of your lifecycle as a blogger, that you need to sanitize or reinvent your blog.
  13. You either lose your job because of blogging, are afraid of losing your job for blogging, or join a company that builds blogging tools.
  14. You decide to start an anonymous livejournal blog.

Min had a few more details for each step, but this is the just of it.  I guess this post puts me squarely at step 10.  Let’s just hope that I don’t every get to number 13.
