2022 in review (3): Over to you
I realise blogs are dead. The golden age of blogging was probably 2008-2011. But they also won’t die. Substack is blog meets newsletter, and it’s kind of a vibrant platform.
Anyway, one reason blogs died is because the interaction that used to exist on blogs themselves disappeared. Some of it went elsewhere in the online ecology - the book of faces, the bird site, the tumbleweed; some of it just disappeared.
This is a short post, and it’s to say thanks for reading this year. I’m really grateful for those of you who subscribed, took the time to read my words, and especially for those who have spoken to me or encouraged me about what you found useful in my writing this year.
It’s also to invite you to tell me (if you haven’t already) what you have found useful or encouraging (if you haven’t), maybe a favourite post from the year. I don’t mind if you comment here or not, or email me, or talk to me in person (that handful of you who I also encounter in shared realspace), but I’d love to hear what you took away this year from this space.
Thanks once more, and I’ll be back in 2023 with more (possibly slowing down in January, you’ll perhaps be pleased to know - I’ve pre-written a few posts for the rest of summer; actually I pre-write almost all my posts, which helps get me out of the cycle of immediacy); more books reviews, more reflections, more thinking through what it looks like to get up each day and live with Jesus as Saviour and Lord.
