Loose Wire Blog
Loose Wire Blog was set up in 2003 when I started writing about blogging. The original Blogspot site is still up. It later moved to TypePad where it still is. It once or twice got Slashdotted and Boingboinged, meaning traffic spiked, but it's mostly been visited by regular readers and a lot of searches from Google.
A lot of people ask me whether it's worth the hassle to continue updating it; quite honestly it's no hassle. I like the discipline of trying to find something worthwhile to update it with, and nowadays, with so much stuff out there for people to read, there's less pressure to try to be a one-stop shop for readers, meaning I can be a bit more relaxed about leaving the blog fallow for a day or two if there's nothing exciting to report.
