Missed my blogs birthday on February 6th 2010.
The Made In Preston Blog is 1 year old and has about 180 posts. I thought it’ll only last a few weeks but it’s still hot. So tonight I’ll pop a bottle of wine and some bottles of beer and to cap the excitement watch Question Time at 10.30. It’s either that or Newsnight.
What happens when a blog is a year old? Are it’s teeth growing and a bit of hair. Sometimes it’s like a vent. Richard Wilson comes into mind as you find some ridiculous thing on the news and decide it’s a topic to rage about or maybe strongly agree with.
The most enthusiastic commenters are Russian, probably 10 a day. Their mail comes in the form of long stories with certain words spread about in them. There is one person in East Europe who keeps writing about Grand Pianos although it has a strange link. The fixer divides mail brilliantly and with one click the rubbish is gone. I’ve switched off comments on old ramblings for a while. You can make contact via the Made In Preston website.
The other good thing about the blog is a bit of deeper thought on matters. Also the stuff doesn’t drop out of thin air. Sometimes Preston is a bit limited so for that reason the blog Origin North West has been started for broader topics.
So it’s upwards and onwards for another year.
