> I have had a blog more or less non-stop since 2001, and never once was "building an audience" a goal. My blog is written for my own self, as a place that records discoveries, knowledge, and thoughts so I can read them again later, shared so that they might be useful to others and as a way to connect with friends and family who already know about my blog directly.
I’ve been doing it since the last century. In fact, my personal site[0] is stale as hell, and still has the original table-based layout that was considered “cutting edge,” back then.
I’ve never really given a damn whether or not anyone reads my stuff.
This is where I tend to dump my thoughts, these days[1].
