A little more than a year ago

I was still weighing the pros and the cons of starting a weblog, although I’ve been an avid blog reader of some interesting blogs around. I had to admit it was a little tempting to have a site that I could call my own, where I feel free to write any gibberish about myself. What hindered me then?

Part of it was because I balked at the idea of committing myself to a blog. The idea of constantly updating it didn’t seem so appealing to me then. What if I have nothing to blog about? I knew that my interest would die out after a few months. However I decided to give it a try anyway and voila, I’m still continuing to blog on quite a regular basis. I surprised even myself that I could keep up with it thus far. *pat myself on the shoulders*

This blog has gone through many facades over this short period of time. I started first at WordPress with its free hosting but I felt a little restricted with its limited space for my loads of pictures, so I turned to Blogger but after some time, I felt the same restriction too. Then I decided to take up a domain of my own powered by WordPress and after this step I never look back. I love the freedom that comes with it.

Throughout the whole period, I developed an interest in editing photos and CSS for my site. For me it feels sort of relaxing after a day at work to come back and updating on my blog and pimping it once in a while. I find it enjoyable to learn new tips and tricks on how to tweak my CSS or hack the WordPress code and I’m still learning.

So if you ask me now whether I’ll give up my blog, I’d say no. Not at the moment. It has become a part of me, like an unfaltering buddy that keeps an open ear to put up with whatever gibberish that comes out of me. Listening without complaining.

It’s hard even to find a human being that’s so agreeable, don’t you think? So, here’s to another year!
