David Carrington

I’ve got accounts on a scattered selection of different websites with snippets of content on each. YouTube for videos, Flickr for photos, Qik, Twitter etc. I’ve also got this blog, which sits here mostly gathering dust while I don’t write anything. On the rare chance that I do write something, I’ll save it as a draft and delete it a few weeks later. Not particularly useful.

So today starts the rework. I’ve said this before, but this time I actually have an aim.

An aim? Yep. I want to increase my online presence. In an ideal world this means that a) searching for “david carrington” in various search engines brings back this site as the top result, and b) this site actually contains useful information about me and projects I’m involved with.

This particular blog post is aimed at myself. It’s a pile of textual nonsense inspiring me to do something new: blog frequently! (Can it be done?).

I’ll continue to write about similar topics to the past, but this time I actually want to get something useful blogged each week. That means planning ahead, writing drafts, and putting some daily thought (half hour?) into writing some useful posts. Along the way it will make me look at my own website and think eurgh, that’s butt-ugly! and hopefully make me do some spring cleaning and visual improvements.

Give it a month, you’ll see I fail.
