Happy Blogger Day!

I started my first blog, on Blogger, about 19 years ago. It was a private blog for my extended family about the birth of my son. I don't think I maintained it for long, but it was the start of a new form of creative expression for me.

Since then, I've had blogs (and newsletters) about faith, barefoot running, poetry, and now visual art. It's a form I keep coming back to, and it's become part of my creative practice.

I'm happy to see people returning to blogs, even if only in small numbers. It's bringing back the quieter, more personal side of the web again. I hope more artists, in particular, do. There are so many benefits, and Instagram seems like a lost cause now.

Happy Blogger Day!
