Why do you blog?

I love blogging. Actually, I love writing. I have been writing for years. I love expressing myself. I love sharing. And I hope people find value in that. I find value in what other people share. Books. Videos. Blog posts. One famous person said that if one day is not an improvement from the previous, then you’re better off dead. So we must learn. We must learn from each other. From each other’s knowledge, thoughts, and experiences. We’re all unique. And we’re all interdependent.

Seth Godin talks about blogging in this video. I think it’s powerful. I’m going to play this video at my next blogging workshop – it’s extremely insightful. I hope you’ll watch it.

WordPress 2.7 is here!

Finally, WordPress 2.7 is available to for download. WordPress is a blogging platform and I’ve been using it for more than a year now.

I’ve been very bad at blogging, and bad at keeping my promises (see my blog post prior to this one)! All with good reason though. I’ve been hard at work building my company and building a strong global network. I’m so looking forward to 2009. I just wish I could get this holiday over with a fast forward button! :)

I need to get blogging more regularly though. I have so much to say and share, so I really need to be disciplined about it – like I was 12 months ago. Then on the development side – I have this blog to redesign by mid-January 2009, as well as 2 others, and then I also have 8 new blogs to put up by the same time. I have some busy days ahead of me, and hopefully WordPress 2.7 will make my journey a bit easier!

This will be my last post for 2008. Expect to see a brand new look to www.jayz.co.za in 2009! Happy holidays, and please be safe – and sane! :)
