The frequency of blog posting

Blogs have been around for some time now and the blogging community is definitely growing. Some use blogs as daily journals for the rest of the world to read, others use it as some sort of advertising log with far too many websites offering whatever product it is they’re marketing, then there are the travellers.

When I was in London I posted on almost a daily basis, not that it was really worth reading, but now since being back in cape town I barely post twice a month.

Why?

Well I’ve been thinking about it, and there are a few reasons why I believe this is so. I started thinking: is life back home less interesting? Are there fewer activities and is life less eventful away from travelling? Or is it because being home is not ‘new’ its not different, you’re used to it so it becomes less blog worthy.

Another reason? Internet connections, as advanced as cape town may be when compared to the rest of Africa, we are still unfortunately considered a 3^rd world country, which among other things means that anything more than a standard 56k dial up line is a little overpriced. So when trying to post a photo, or waiting for the page to load takes more than 2 seconds you become hesitant to log on.

In conclusion, I can say with much confidence that there is far more to do in Cape Town that in London, only major differences are that we have fewer pubs, Big Ben is not a clock, and our climate rocks! I write for others to read (kind of obvious I guess) and being back home means that my 100’s of fans (whatever) are no longer a million miles away.

So please keep reading, although the posting will be less frequent I won’t stop writing crap.
