I really did have the best of intentions to keep this blog going when I uprooted my whole life (new city, new job) last year. But good intentions, the road to you-know-where... well, you know.
So why am I bringing it back to life now? A few reasons:
- Interest. Even more than a year out of date, I still get quite a lot of traffic (my Twitter hash tag post is still the most popular) and questions from readers—so the demand is there.
- Ego-boo. In addition to reader questions, I get quite a few "this post was SO helpful" comments. And, yes, that makes me feel good. :)
- Ch-ch-ch-changes. Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and his equivalents at Twitter, Google, Microsoft, and elsewhere are constantly "enhancing" their products, generally resulting in mass confusion for anyone trying to use them. Writing blog posts about the new features and functionality forces me to figure them out for myself!
I don't know how often I'll be able to post new entries, what with that danged day job and all, but I'm going to start by aiming for once a week and see how it goes from there. In addition to posting new entries, I'm also going to go back and update some of my more popular posts to ensure they have the most current information. Finally, I'll be using the Tech for Luddites Facebook page more often to share quick tips and post links to other useful information I discover around the Interwebs.
Help me pick my next series topic!
Speaking of my Facebook page, if you haven't already Liked it, now would be a great time to do so. I've added a tab to the page with a poll asking fans to help me pick the topic for my next series. Come on over and help me decide!
One Last Note: I had originally planned to wait to bring back T4L until I had everything set to go at full force. But then I realized (d'uh!) that if I waited for that day, it would never happen. So please be patient as I go about remembering how this whole blogging thing works and, if you find anything amiss, please shoot me a note at feedback@techforluddites.com.
