Personal & Blog Meta

It hit me hard today when I realized how long it has been since I last wrote something here. More than a month since my last post, slightly more since anything barely useful. I’ve been trying to write a new post for a while now, and today I just found enough time and inspiration to finally do it.

Can you believe it? I can’t. Almost. Two years ago I started this blog as a hobby, and I myself didn’t believe it would work out. It was months before the first reader appeared, but then it kind of just happened. Blogging was fun. It was tough.

Blogs are a great thing. They allow people to share their own knowledge, experience, thoughts, ideas. But communities are the real thing, they allow many people do the same at once, expanding the sharing into exchanging knowledge, experience, thoughts, ideas, advice, you name it.

NavigateIntoSuccess.com is currently down due to DNS issues with my current domain registrar. I’ve already initiated the transfer to another one, but until the problem is fully resolved and depending on your ISP’s DNS cache policies, you might experience intermittent downtimes or network errors while accessing my blog.

Another one’s down, so let me give it a quick glance over my shoulder before I move on: March 2009. This was the best month ever for this blog: it has seen most posts from me, most visits from you, most subscribers to the feed , and I’ve covered a wide range of topics which I am not yet sure if it has got me or lost me more visitors.

Another month is over, and in my recently established tradition, I’m taking a look back at the past month to give you an overview of developments around NavigateIntoSuccess.com . This was both a great month, and a rough month for me.

Someone has tweeted about my blog yesterday. Was that you? Seeing twitter.com in a list of websites sending traffic my way pumped a dose of adrenaline up my arteries: if you find this blog worth tweeting about, then it must be… well, worth tweeting about. Thanks! The ultimate effect is this: I opened a Twitter account.

Is there a better way to start a week than coming to NavigateIntoSuccess.com to find a fresh new post about Microsoft Dynamics NAV or something of the sort? Of course there is, come on. And yet, to my surprise, Mondays seem to be the busiest days over here at NavigateIntoSuccess.com.

Happy New Year everybody! Are you ready for it? When I moved this blog to its new domain NavigateIntoSuccess.com I gave you a commitment I intend to observe: there will be a new post here every Monday and every Thursday. Today is Thursday, so let’s rock’n’roll.

I’ll end this year with a look back at this blog. Year 2008 has seen many trends on this blog—I was literally exploring the world of blogging. I had no focus in the beginning, but towards the end of this year you might have noticed a shift towards the world of Sure Step, methodology in general and topics of the sort.
