It might be a low-key affair
I obviously had great ambitions for celebrating the 21st anniversary of blogging in a week’s time, but that takes both organising and promoting, activities I cannot say I have the skill for.
Nickel
Blogs - Celebrating 21 years of blogging
As it goes, I might
just settle for a celebratory blog and a review of things that have caught my
attention and interest over that period. The blog itself remains a personal blog even as I find that it garners a global readership and has been achieving record monthly visits for most of this year.
While storytelling
has not gone out of fashion, it is a shame that personal blogs of a non-profit
nature have waned in significance. As I have alluded to, other forms of
expression and media platforms have taken hold as global attention spans have
become more engaged with the stimulation of different senses for thrills.
Longevity can be
impactful
The other day when I
introduced a colleague to my blog, the first thing that caught their attention
was the collapsed year archive that read as far back as 2003. Some people even
thought I had a journalistic background; I have rarely done anything in the
arts and humanities since my secondary school days. However, I do have an
interest that might eventually inform a graduate programme.
If anything, the
longevity alone can be interesting. I have not made many changes to the
blog even though some static content does need to be updated. I won’t even
ask anyone to wade through almost 4,200 blogs, but the “Random Post” button on
the desktop or non-mobile version of the blog can lead to interesting topics.
Meanwhile, I will
post a few thoughts until the anniversary. Thank you for visiting my
blog.
