It’s a Blog-A-Day January. My family does a fair
amount of traveling, road trips especially, and I take photos and write down a
few remarks in a notebook—always with the aim of later blogging about what we
saw, particularly historical sites. But then the photos sit in my phone until I
batch-upload them to my computer, and then they sit there. In many
cases, for years.
I’ve always meant to be a more productive blogger, and for
me short-terms goals work great (DietBet, anyone?). So my vow is to blog daily...
just for January. Hopefully that will get me through a bunch of travel photos
and maybe spur a more deep commitment to my blog.
If you want to “follow” my blog, the posts will arrive in
your inbox. You can always unfollow later. It’s easy to follow this blog if
you’re reading it on a desktop computer. Just look at the right-hand column:
below the book jackets, you’ll see thumbnails of followers and a blue “Follow”
button. Just click on that: there’s no need to enter any information or do
anything other than click that button. You’ll find the blue button instantly
converts to “unfollow” in case you decide you’ve made a terrible mistake.
If you’re reading my blog on your phone, it is just a little
trickier. Scroll down past all my posts until you see the green “home” button
with back and forth arrows on either side. Right under that, click on “view Web
version” and look at the newly-created right-hand column, then follow the
instructions above. I’ve got to configure Blogger to make this easier on the
mobile version so that the right-hand column doesn’t disappear.
Tomorrow’s post: the Ben & Jerry’s factory tour in
Vermont.
Ice cream and holstein cows: it doesn’t get any better than
that.
(Holsteins are those black and white ones, which look especially lovely arranged on a green meadow)

We-e-e-ell, I didn't know about Blog-a-Day January. Of course there's nothing stopping me starting now, doing it in February, or just blogging every day from now on. Back in the heyday I wanted to blog every day, because in truth I never run out of things to say or for that matter pictures to share. But blogging, like Facebook, seems to siphon out my Real Writing energy, so I've also always had a reluctance to commit.
I did blog every day, the key point being to share a picture, during my sabbatical in 2010. That wasn't difficult. I think the concern that my sabbatical would be wasted if not remembered gave me the extra motivation. I'm glad I did it. Needless to say it's best read backwards, i.e. from the beginning.
