This year I received a summary of the figures from my blog and it seems that my random ramblings have had more attention than I expected. I was also surprised by the number of people from all over the world who have taken the time to read about this tiny part of a tiny Ireland. Thank you all so much and I will try to come up with a few posts to make it worth you looking in now and again.
Anyone considering writing a blog themselves could get no better start than the WordPress Templates. It is so incredibly easy to gain a free blog and start spouting your thoughts, images, experiences or just plain ranting. If people do not like what you write they wont read it, but hey what have you lost?? I started because I needed to learn to type but then I started to enjoy what I was doing and how I was doing it. Taking photos, even on a cheap little camera has become part of my fishing ritual and my box feels empty without the camera curled up in a tea-towel, one that has usually held a reel or I have wiped my hands on. The silly thing is I have a soft camera case in the box but habit over-rides its use when I am auto-pilot. I hate missing opportunity’s such as when my good friend and work colleague John Keen caught a big mullet from the shore on a 3/0 hook and single lugworm and I had no memory card in the camera.
As for writing, talk from the heart, speak of what you know or what you see. My ramblings are my own, I never claim they are the right way or the best way they are simple experiences which have or have not worked. The rigs that I use have been shown to me by others and adapted to meet my needs
Here is the report from WordPress.
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 11,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
