This past year was interesting year in blogging for me.
After blogging on and off for several years, I really picked things up in 2007. voxtropolis was a great launching pad for me, and moving over to solarcrash.com midway last year was a learning experience as well.
After 222 posts in 2007, some reasons I continue to blog
My brain’s a mess, writing helps bring some clarity to the madness going on upstairs
Having a searchable archive of my thoughts has been invaluable in preaching/teaching and conversation
Voice – I always hope to give voice to those who might share my heart
Networking – It’s been such a blessing being able to connect with so many incredible individuals through this blog
It always feels odd when people I interact with give me these glowing remarks about who I am and something I’ve just done. The pervading thought in my mind is often how the substance of those comments are so very temporal.
I’ve likely been far better and been far worse, but people gauge you based on what they see of you upfront, or most recently.
I feel the same way with blogs. Current blogging structures are all ordered in reverse chronological order giving the random reader the most recent post rather than the most significant post or posts that resonate with the heart of the blog.
Anyhow, I’m going to begin doing roundups of my best posts each month and year from now on and hopefully that helps give this blog a bit more flare and identity.
Here are November’s picks – feel free to continue interacting on any of them.
