I was going to say it's been a year since I started publishing blogs on SDN, but then realized it's been more than a "normal" year since 2008 is a leap year, a US election year in fact (finally).
So the title of this is 366 days of blogging, which is not to say I've blogged 366 times. It's really only 70 times, with 1 unpublished blog that will probably stay that way until I delete it. OK, 71, counting this one.
My first blog was on Unicode. Pretty dry stuff, but a necessary evil.
The chart below relates to a blog I wrote called "blog on blog" where I tried to gauge the acceptance rate of my blogs. I tried to redo the chart this morning on my EditGrid SDN tracking chart, but could not get the axes to re-size, so was forced to do it the old-fashioned way in Excel.
Here's the same chart, from the last update in March 2008:
One of my blogs went below the 3,000 rank since then. Still a ways to go to break into the top 10 ;-).
Here's the one that isn't working. Note that editgrid went from 7 million to 12 million objects in under 6 months.
While there are still hurdles with ASUG's blogging, I've now written 2 as Moby Tech, and am encouraging my BITI peers to do likewise. As I've also written nearly 100 in the past year on my personal site, I think it's possible for nearly anyone to publish good material (links to those blogs = http://hosted.jivesoftware.asug.com/blogs/mobytech ). The rest are visible on my SCN profile page.
Lastly for now is craig.cmehil/blog's AIR application. Today on his Friday Morning Report on Kyte TV he talked about developing with this tool. I downloaded that app that he shared, but given the challenges of testing and verifying hundreds of pieces of software for our corporate desktops, I'll need a business case to get past the warnings shown here.
