Why I Blog - Looking Back

In Why I Blog post I set my blogging goals, now it is time to review where I am standing:

Journaling

  • Above 80 posts for last half year since I started to blog on MSDN.
  • I constantly use my blog to fish something I know I've done but forgotten how.

Stretch myself

  • Invested in WCF that helped me to cope with real world issues during engagements with my customers.

Self test over time

  • Looking at my tag cloud I can see that I am investing in what I planned - Security and Performance.
  • The tag space is not big - meaning I am focused.

Marketing

  • I think this one failed. I do not get too much comments. To be precise - almost none.
  • Must think of improvements here.

Networking

  • I have created several loyal readers so I can share my thoughts and get some feedback directly.
  • Must improve here too though.

Express myself

  • No doubt I like blogging very much.

Share

  • There are few people who even book marked my stuff - I assume they found it useful. Cool.

 

Seems like I mostly hit the goals I set, I also know what to improve - any suggestions how?

Now I can proudly go offline for vacation :).

Good bye dear Inbox...
