What kind of blog is this?

Posted by Gavin Bowman on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 at 4:50 PM

A few months ago, I read a post on David St Lawrence's blog which called for blogs to have an obvious link to a "What kind of blog is this?" page. The page would explain the basic intentions of the blog and the kind of content that the reader should expect. I thought it was a great idea, but never got around to doing it myself.

Blogger tells me that this is my 100th post, so that seems like as good a time as any to try to figure out what it's about.

Surprisingly, I almost nailed it in my first post. I explained that I'd be writing about my software business, and that video games would probably be a feature. I also predicted that I'd write about flooding, employment tribunals, and the differences I noticed when I was in LA. I was a little off the mark on some of the personal topics I mentioned, but that's probably not a bad thing.

I didn't predict my contribution to CodeSnipers. I started writing a regular weekly post mid-August, and so far it's been a lot of fun. I like that it forces me to take some time each week to write something work related.

I've no plan to change any of the main themes, but I do want to write more about my software. I want to take some time to explain, explore, and figure out how to improve existing features and to validate new ideas. The only personal event which is sure to feature when it happens is moving back into our home.

What kind of blog is this? It's mostly about running a software company, sometimes about video games, and I like to link to anything interesting or cool I find online. I usually post 3-5 times a week and, even though there are occasional exceptions, usually only once a day. I don't want to turn it into my online diary, but I do probably include more personal information than most readers could ever be interested in.

Articles and interesting things, which you find online attract readers, for example like me;). It work like miniportal with curious "news".
