history is what you make of it, and the editor’s opinion is final
the first picture I posted ~ my old sports car SARA
Seven years ago, on or about 24 June 2013, I started to write and publish this jackcollier7.com blog. Looking back, I wonder what on Earth possessed me to think I could possibly do such a thing! And the me from back the would have been amazed that the damn thing is still going about 2,557 days later!
Back then I knew nothing at all about blogging, other than I had read some pieces on some other people’s blogs. I mean literally, I knew nothing about blogging, and there I was starting off to write what was to become a daily effort of blood, sweat, toil, and tears.
Originally this was all supposed to be about personal finance, and the wider world of Banking, Finance, Economics, and the Consumer Society. It’s changed a bit since then. These days I’m more likely to publish some erotic photographs with risque text to accompany them, as I am to write a piece about financial matters. It’s actually up to you to decide whether you like my blog or not ~ but come what may I will write and publish what I want to write, just as long as it’s legal, honest, decent, and within my own ethical guidelines.
Since I started in June 2013, I have published 1,748 blogs. I’ve written more than that because some of the stuff I wrote I thought was dross before I published it, and some of the stuff I’ve published I’ve trashed after it’s been published. Even I sometimes have second thoughts.
In total there have been 9,651 comments on this blog, of which 3,328 are mine. It says that I have 2,554 followers, but that number is hopelessly inaccurate ~ probably less than 100 people regularly read / like / comment on this stuff today.
What I do know is that I still have 3 very loyal followers from those very first days. Some others who follow my blog have also been doing so for a very long, long time.
I guess I will go on writing because it does keep my mind active. And, I have met some very interesting people through this blog, a few of whom have become very dear friends indeed.
Whether or not to go on writing just the same sort of stuff???
Or to try something completely utterly different???
Honestly, I don’t know ~ what do you all think
