Hmm. I’m struggling for things to write at the moment – you may have noticed the paucity of posting of late. The thing is I like writing, but I’m just not finding much to get excited about, at least nothing that folks haven’t written loads about already. I’m just feeling like I’ve got little to say.
For example, I nearly decided to omit mentioning the little bloggers’ meet up we had on London at the weekend. I figured you, my lovely audience, would not be interested in hearing about the fine folks with whom I met: Patrick, Rachel, Drew, Andy, Simon, Jon, John, Jeremy and Andy, I salute you and there are a few pikkies and a tiny video (slightly bigger one on request). But what’s all this talk of audience? After all I’m no D. Keith Robinson. Perhaps I should just get back to writing for me and see if the juices start to flow again.

Richard, I always write for me. That doesn’t mean that I don’t think about readers, but I’ll never streamline my subject matter because I doubt people only want CSS articles. I need to write about music, art, being drunk etc…
I’m not sure comments figures are directly linked to audience. I visited hundreds of sites that engage me, but for some reason I only comment in certain places. I read you, but rarely comment. I don’t know why. Maybe you succinctly conclude your observations most of the time, rendering comments less useful, and you a genius. I don’t know.
Delete this bit later: The MP4 ain’t working for me – my Mac thinks it is a text file.

Why don’t you write about my dog? ;)
BTW, that MP4 video plays at massssive speed and you guys sound like the Clangers on this PC… hey… write about the Clangers, or Noggin the Nogg, or Mr. Benn or (shut up Malarkey!)

Great pleasure to meet you on Saturday and I am another who reads regularly but rarely comments.
I’ve still got a fair old whack of your archives to get through, so no worries for me! :)

Read Tommy Olsson comment on having nothing to write about.
It kinda tell’s that there’s still allot to do, and still allot to write.

Yeah, I want to hear about Malarkey’s dog. What colour is it?

Spot the quote, win a prize. Well…no prize, actually. But, you know, a bit of fun.

Richard, as you are my brother I’m naturally uninterested in anything you have to say. And you owe me 20 quid.

Les, I should have killed you when I had the chance (like when being two years older would actually have given me an advantage). If you want your dosh you can come and get it.
