When You Blog You Discover What You Know !

A web developer's daily musings
When you are forced to write every day, you write about what you do and it makes you realise what skills you have.
You might think that that is obvious: what you can do, but it's not. Because you do it every day, or a lot, it's like second nature, so you don't notice it.
You may have built up those skills over years - and the writing about them can give you an appreciation of them.
Sometimes we think lots of people can do what we can do just as well, but they can't.
Sometimes you just don't realise what talents you do have!
And don't appreciate your own skills.
If you blog about what you do it can re-engage you with those skills, and give you a better appreciation of them.

What kept my out of trouble today:
5 hours 57 minutes | Personal project: more jQuery and javascript shenanigans |
32 minutes | Email and social media |
29 minutes | Checking rankings |
27 minutes | Research into link profiles, hmm I should be spending my time promoting long good quality blog posts not writing short ones that hardly anyone is going to read! C'est la vie, I've started now I can't stop! |
Total: 7 hours 27 minutes
It's nice to be able to work on your own stuff sometimes.
Exercise: 45 minute session doing press ups, dips, curls and sit-ups..
Tomorrow: Bike ride if it's sunny....
