Keeping up a blog is harder than one might think

It has been a long while since I posted anything on my blog, even though I planned I should create at least one post per week. It is not the lack of ideas on what to write about, I have a lot of them and I write them down every time I have an experience I deem fit to share with others.

However, finding the time to actually sit down and write a post and publish it is harder than I anticipated when I started. I still stand firm and know that with taking the time it will become part of my habit, hopefully to keep the people who read it entertained and maintain a regular readership.

To overcome this whining, I decided to share with you a page, or a blog, as we call it today, that left a mark on me. This page was started before “blogging” as we know it became a popular thing, I believe it stared in the late 1990´s by a guy from the USA and has attracted more than quarter billion visitors so far. Not bad for a one-man show. His posts ranged from rants, comical posts about current events or sometimes even philosophical stuff. I enjoy the opportunity to share it with you. There was no rule on how often he posted, but his posts guaranteed that you had fun reading them if you understood the underlying sarcasm of his writings.

With no further ado, I present to you – the best page in the universe, created by Maddox the pirate: http://maddox.xmission.com/. Take the time, browse through it and although you did not follow it from the early beginnings (as I was lucky to have done), I do hope you will enjoy his content. If nothing else to fill the time, when you visit my blog and find that I published no new content, 20 years of history on his page should keep you occupied for a while.

Do not forget to check in every now and then and see if I finally found the time to publish something new. It´s the readership that keeps me creating and prioritising my time.
