Not quite ready to close this blog down just yet, but I’m going to rant a little..
I started the ‘#oneaday’ trend thinking that it would allow me to practice writing, letting me develop my skills and experiment with structure, vocabulary etc. and to an extent, it has.
The second goal was to create an interesting blog where people could visit/subscribe to articles or blurbs that interested them. It would be based on my own interests, such as design, animation, gaming and would occasionally see me posting original content, such as my own design work or articles in response to certain subjects. I feel like I’ve failed to achieve this goal.
More often than not, I find myself rushing to post for midnight, with a brief and unimportant run down of what I did that day (without photos, no less!). The worst part to all this is, I’m not even using it as a ‘personal‘ blog, because I genuinely feel unable to write about my personal grievances in the public domain. It’s unprofessional at the very least.
I had intended to simply use this blog as a space to communicate until my portfolio goes online (hopefully around June this year), which will contain an integrated development blog. Whilst it wont be updated daily, it will be updated regularly with content relevant to my design studies and development work and tied seamlessly to a blog page on my portfolio.
So at the end of next week, I’ll be pruning this blog. I’ll be taking out anything I wouldn’t want to keep in the long run.
I’ve also just decided to prune all posts from ozarin.co.uk. Whilst development is going ok, I’d hate to bring in traffic to a website full of old articles. I’ll be repopulating the site with new articles this week. Development seems to be going ok, but will be stepping up my game in April.
OSSU!
