I've been tagged by Keith (aka adactio), not personally, but figuratively. Only by answering these questions can I close the browser tab with his post on it.
Why did you start blogging in the first place?
Because I enjoyed reading other blogs and I wanted to join in. I love the idea of publishing to the world.
What platform are you using to manage your blog and why did you choose it? Have you blogged on other platforms before?
I use Google's Blogger. It's a bit of a backwater, and doesn't get much love from their developers, inasmuch as they're not developing the platform. But it's free though, and I can use my own domain name. Before that I used Dave Winer's editthispage.com. More on my 20 years of blogging post, which I wrote 6 years ago.
How do you write your posts? For example, in a local editing tool, or in a panel/dashboard that’s part of your blog?
The latter.
When do you feel most inspired to write?
If you look at the list of articles you'll see the answer to that - I don't. However that's not a problem. I don't feel any pressure to post. This is like growing vegetables. It's for fun, not something I rely on to survive.
Do you publish immediately after writing, or do you let it simmer a bit as a draft?
Publish and then tweak generally. Or sit in a draft for months and years. It depends how complete my thoughts are.
What’s your favourite post on your blog?
I'm quite proud of this one: like a metaphor.
Any future plans for your blog? Maybe a redesign, a move to another platform, or adding a new feature?
As long as Blogger is around I'm OK. Maybe when I retire I'll faff around with Wordpress or something like that. Maybe hand coded PHP.
Next?
If you're reading this, consider yourself challenged.
