I started into the world of blogging with my personal blog ErikVossman.com. It was supposed to be all about my goals and how I’m going to accomplish them. It’s slowly departing from a strictly goals oriented site to one about all the wacky things I find for myself to do and is trying to adopt the name Why Rest?
But alas, I’ve learned so much from blogging at that single blog for over a year. I’ve started a network, interacted with others, and figured out how to blog for a year without really increasing your traffic. What a blast.
But in all seriousness, I’ve learned a tremendous amount blogging about my own experiences that I would have otherwise not been able to do. Having a personal blog allows you to blog about anything and get away with it. You can stray off topic because it’s you own blog. Who cares what people think about it.
That’s kinda the line that Darren Rowse has written about over at his post
