Committed now..

having given someone else the link to my blog I now feel committed to making a new post. Given that it is almost 6 months since my last one I probably don't deserve a medal for this. However, this is also a good thing to do as I have made a commitment to myself to post regularly. It does not matter, at this point (maybe never), what I write but it has to be done regularly - at least weekly. A friend started to tell me the 4 Rules of Writing but due to the demands of a small baby we did not get further than the first one - start writing and do not stop for at least 10 minutes. Well, this seemed to be the most important one and so far it has served me well. The theory is that is gets past the distractions and gets you actully writing, and often what happens is that you start to write what you wanted to anyway. It worked really well for a magazine article I had to write so I just need to use it more often. 5 minutes gone already.

The technological question that I have not solved yet is how to link this blog to my website and how to make it look beautiful (and as if it comes from me). No real idea where to start on that at the moment but I do not believe it is beyond me. One way to put off finding out is to put everything on hold until I have sorted out my website hosting - and propably even longer if I delay it until my website is completely rewritten and up looking wonderful.

Hence the need for regular postings. First of many weekly ones until January 08 relaunch.
