I’ve been writing on this blog since the end of September 2008. That’s just over 10 years here, give or take a month or two.
In that time, I’ve published almost 1,400 posts, originally starting out writing about marketing, PR, social media, and all the other stuff that came with it at that time.

It’s not that I’ve run out of things to say, or lost interest in blogging/podcasting. Far from it.
I’ve just been busy in all areas of my life – work, personal, some little creative stuff I’ve been tinkering with, and such as. And that’s pretty much kept me away from this blog.
Sure, I could have just reposted stuff I’ve done elsewhere, but that’d be unfair to you, as it’d feel I was just mailing something in, which is one thing I’d never do.
