What have I learned from writing 400 blog posts? Not much. Well, a little...You can't make any money from this, unless you bombard it with Google ads, and you probably need to specalise your subject matter too, while regular readers of this blog will know I write about pretty much anything. This blog was started as part of a course requirement at Cardiff University. Everyone else seemed to think it was a chore, but I really enjoyed it. There are only a few of us going now; myself, Mr Severs, and Mr Dando (sometimes). There may be more but I don't know of them. Apologies to my old course mates if so.
When I tried to focus it around media and entertainment issues I would often leave it untouched for days. Now though, I just write about whatever the hell I want and it's far more enjoyable. And it seems to generate more followers and higher hit rates than previously. I'd like to think the unknown (the unknown unknowns and known unknowns etc) of what's coming next keeps people coming back. I should credit Mr Five Centres for this somewhat as his blog is so hard to predict what's coming next - yesterday it was cereals - that it keeps you coming back and is very engaging And so I started to imitate this, but in my own way too.
Check back tomorrow when I'll tell you why I am sick of every magazine that thinks it's funny putting 'hilarious' captions on every single picture.
Was this profound or was it banal - or somewhere in between?

Congrats on 400 posts and I'm flattered for being cited as an inspiration *blushes*.
I may not always comment but I do read.
Keep on keepin' on.
Good work.
Likewise this (and indeed five-centres as well) were among the inspirations in getting my waffling re-started after a couple of years in limbo.
Hello; thanks for dropping by and saying hi. Blog on!
