FOR some time now, I have been considering what to do about my blog sites. Below is a bit of a recap of the three blog sites I have created over the years, but firstly, a little bit of an announcement.
After a couple of years of relative inactivity on the blog sites, I am planning to wake things up a bit and will be making some new blog posts in the coming weeks. I will also be making a couple of little changes behind the scenes to allow me to update the look and feel of the sites and also to make it easier in the future to release new content.
Another important change is that I will be unlinking my blog sites from other other social media. What this means is that Facebook, LinkedIn and X will not automatically update when new content is released. The reason for this is that I have found that some blog posts are not suitable for all social media platforms. Therefore, I will manually post on relevant platforms based on the content being shared.
If you do want to follow my writings, the best thing to do is to Subscribe to the Website (it should be an option somewhere on the page) – stick in your email address and you will get an email each time I update something. If you are not into cricket – you do not need to Subscribe to that one, but you might want to subscribe to the more general content. You can also comment on the blogs on the site itself, as opposed to via other social media. However, I see all the comments – so whatever works for you.
Whether you subscribe or just look out for social media updates, I would love it if you would take a read.
Recap: What are my blog sites?
As a bit of a recap, I started writing in 2015 when I created http://charlottenotforgotten.wordpress.com/ after our daughter Charlotte was stillborn. I found it personally helpful to be able to share something of my experience online. I hope it was useful to some readers as well – I believe that it was. However, I came to a point around 2017 where I felt I had shared everything I wanted to share about those events of 2015. Those events remain with me, but I felt I had nothing new to say. Since then, I have occasionally shared new posts, and I occasionally will continue to do so when it seems appropriate.
I also found that I wanted to write about a slightly broader range of subjects, and it seemed inappropriate to use charlottenotforgotten for this. Therefore, I decided to create http://edward.reecefamily.co.uk/. The intention was to write about a range of topics. Some articles were well received while others were perhaps not such a good idea. Mostly, the idea of a single site for lots of topics worked – but my cricket writing was a bit off putting for some!
In 2020, during the first and most restrictive of the Covid lockdowns – with no live sport to watch – I created http://cricketed.reecefamily.co.uk. This was partly a bit of a lockdown project – we all had one – but it went quite well and I enjoyed it. I am planning to keep this up, but it does take time to create good quality content.
Please look out for updates! Thanks.
