Words out of nowhere!

I haven't posted here in over three years.

There's a grandiose post a little down the page that says I stopped posting to concentrate on bigger projects. I did not do this. I did, however, change city, job and profession. So that's something.

Top Three Things a person learns upon revisiting their blog after three years:

1. People love lists (and Arrested Development). My only post with a title approaching anything like good SEO practice, "Top 5 TV Villains: Lucille Bluth", still gets visitors every day. Also, my post Sporting Memorabilia gets a lot of visits, which I feel quite guilty about. Surely that's not what they're after.

2. I am not the best at spellcheck.

3. I am not an entrepreneur. It's interesting to me to see posts here that are attempting to do the things that twitter and instagram would do so well - but didn't work very well on blogger with a pre-smartphone phone. Sadly, I had the desire to present things in a new way, but missed the part of my brain that realised a tool to do such a thing would be popular and lucrative. Once I signed up to twitter though, my blog evaporated swiftly, as my itch to deliver zingers to a digital audience had been scratched in a more efficient fashion.
