Nearly two months ago I announced that I was quitting blogging and so many of you left a message to wish me well. Thank you all for being so generous.
I had every intention of replying to each and every one of you in person (as was my habit) but I didn’t get around to it. I’m sorry about that, you at least deserved an acknowledgement.
The thing is I just couldn’t face it. At the time I decided to quit, I pushed away the keyboard and screen and decided that I didn’t want my family to see me anywhere near a computer.
It was a good decision. Time away has helped me to understand where I went wrong and what I needed to do to make things better.
I’ve rebuilt my bridges, made them even stronger and now I’m ready to have another shot at blogging.
Teach My Children will continue, but I’m going to change the focus and approach it in a different way.
At the moment I plan to post here every month to six weeks. I haven’t decided exactly what I’m going to write about but it will be linked to parenting – after all, I have a wealth of knowledge having spent the last eight years raising four children.
In the meantime I’ve started a new blog called Selfish Blogger. It’s non-niche personal blog aimed at maintaining an active online presence.
The most striking thing about the new blog is I’ve turned off the comments and left a link to Twitter (just as I have at the bottom of this page). That’s right, I expect you to read what I write, but I’m not going to let you reply! Selfish huh?
Actually, turning off the comments doesn’t mean closing people out or denying them a voice, I’ve just tried to be a little more inventive to make sure I can spend time online without it taking over my life.
If you’re still interested in exchanging insults with me after I’ve ignored you for so long, then come across to Selfish Blogger and click the link through to Twitter.
I hope to see you there.
Thanks
Dave.
