I few minutes back I published some rules for blogging<\/a> and one of the guidance notes was to post regularly. That particular guidance could be interpreted a number of ways (once a week; daily; fast and frequent; or just whenever there is time) and this blog tends to fall into the latter category but even so, regular readers might have noticed the output level drop recently. This is down to a number of things including a recent holiday; returning to work to find a greatly increased workload; and a 10-month old son with a cold (the result of which is a lack of sleep for his parents, directly impacting upon my desire to spend my evenings writing blog posts, even if it does seem to be affecting my Google PageRank).<\/p>\n

Even if the quantity of posts has dropped slightly, I hope the quality is still there, so if you keep reading, I’ll keep blogging (but it might sometimes be a few days between posts).<\/p>\n

Before I sign off, thanks to everyone who has left a comment against a post. As I highlighted recently when I added the rules for comments<\/a>, I don’t have time to respond to every request for help; however, I do read all of the comments and it’s always good to hear when something I’ve written has been useful for someone else out there in cyberspace<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
