Why start a blog here?

Weathered wooden handrail and steps leading down to Brighton Beach

Weathered wooden handrail and steps leading down to Brighton Beach

1) The 140 characters allowed by Twitter aren’t long enough to say everything I want to say.

2) I want to share new ideas, concepts and links with anyone who might be interested, and talk about them openly rather than in the closed circle of Facebook.

3) I need to become more technical and “webby” as quickly as I can. While I often found my old Blogger blog a bit limiting, I hope to be able to experiment a lot more with this new Wordpress space – I may even end up transferring tales from the old travel blog across to here.

4) Writing out my impressions and questions gives me a chance to reflect on what I’m learning in this new, challenging situation I find myself in. I don’t have all the answers, and I hope to connect with other people who are also building their careers and networks.

5) Writing is a grounding action, and letting my fleeting ideas wander and unfurl can lead to surprising conclusions, even epiphanies. I want to look back and remind myself of the opportunities open to me, everything I have to be grateful for, and build up snapshots of my life, in this exciting city, in this time of amazingly rapid changes.

No, why do you ask – are you from Herts as well?

Really enjoying reading through all your SEO suggestions, btw!
