Considerations on blogging

Written by alejo on May 10th, 2010

This blog is already a few years old, it all started 3 years ago, January from 2007. Back then I was around 11k in KGS and, currently being 7k, I can’t say I’ve improved much during these years. This blog was started due to a Go hype I endured for the first couple of years, when I used to play at least once a week. Lately this tendency has been modified to somewhere like one game each… three months.

A side effect of this playing pace is the lack of games to review and the lack of interest in improving (reading, learning, watching pros…). So I focused my attention into Go software, which seemed to be quite an unknown field, since there weren’t reviews or comparisons available on the internet. For some reason, I considered it useful to have software reviewed and commented, users have shown me the opposite. There has been, if any, very little feedback, comments, suggestions or collaborations. Till recently, the reason for posting was the joy I obtained with doing so, added to the increase of visitors; it doesn’t appeal me any more.

Though the site will remain open to suggestions and collaborators, from now and on, I’ll post about whatever I enjoy, which will be mostly but not only: boardgames. Ultimately, the purpose of posting should be to enjoy doing so. And I’ve started by adding a “Recently played games” column on the right sidebar.

Enjoy

Well Max, as I’m already writing in my post, it seems like there’s very few interaction around here, so that’s the reason for the lack of comments. No need to be surprised about that ;)

I won’t decline posting about Go whenever I watch an interesting game or play one by myself… or a developer sends me a beta version of a program to review it (I’m tired of futile chasing). And, as I enjoy blogging and keeping this site up, I’ll write about other issues.

Don’t worry about mistakenly submitting twice ;)
