To run a successful blog you need to invest time

October 20, 2007

Unsurprisingly it takes a lot of time to blog properly. For the first few months of this blog I didn’t invest much time and consequently it didn’t really take off at all. In September I had a month where I had finished work and hadn’t quite started university and managed to blog quite a lot [...]
