Awake from the dead

So after leaving my English blog with no post for nearly 8 months, I figured I’d give some updates so let me first briefly explain why I neglected posting in a while.

The fact is that I don’t feel very comfortable with my English writing skills. Even tough my spoken English isn’t much better, I don’t feel as much pressure as I normally just want to keep the conversation going and don’t care much about making mistakes. On the other hand, I until lately had a feeling that blogging leave a permanent online mark and didn’t wanted to publish something that could tarnish my image.

Yeah, I now realize that it’s bit stupid and here’s why.

I’ve been investing a lot of my free time lately reading other blogs and learning stuff online and realised that despite most blogs I read are written in English, a noticeable percentage of it is of poor English quality. This doesn’t stops me reading it as I feel they still can be as informative and usefull as profesionnaly written blogs.

So it’s obvious I changed my mind about my blogging standards.

Another interesting fact is that my French blog is now receiving 2200 unique visits a month, something I’m pretty proud of but at the same time really surprised of. Passing the 2k mark without expecting that much of a readership gave me motivation to try new stuff and shy out a bit.

I’m officially reviving this blog. Interestingly enough, I won’t just go and translate my French blog. I’ll create some totally different content and go as far as speaking about totally different things.

The main goal will be to improve my English writing skills while doing something fun and worthwhile for my readers.

As so, I’ve already added a new page to my blog where I offer my own free WordPress installation service. It’s kind of a tutorial at the same time as it also shows where to register a domain name and get web hosting using the wildly known Dotster company. I’m hoping this will get some people interested in following my blog.

I will appreciate any comment about my decision as I’m still pretty stressed about it and please subscibe to my RSS feed to be notified of new posts on this blog!
