Finally – blog update

So so so! Once again I write a post like this.

It’s been a long time since my last update. I was busy on many things, but the idea of my blog always stayed in the air. I thought about why I cannot update it regularly? And why some of my old posts are much more popular than the last ones. And I think I know the answer, but first, let me tell you a story.

I started my own blog in the beggining 2006 (almost three years before). I was encouraged by the literature about blogs, by Seth Godin, Tom Peters, Guy Kawasaki and other internet gurus. I thought of it – as a platform to share my ideas. And first posts were really “mine” – my thoughts, my experience. It was unique and thats why it attracted so much attention.

But reading more and more other blogs I began to copy them – copy style of posts, ideas of posts. But copying wasn’t so simple, because I cannot combine all those “not mine” ideas with my experiences and life examples. So the latests posts became boring and absolutely not usefull. Moreover I pretended to write on management, and limiting myself in such way made it even more difficult to write good content.

I hope that these are my real problems, and understanding them will help me continue blogging. Otherwise you won’t see another post for a few months here =).

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry HDR Christmas
