Blaugust is once again upon us. What is Blaugust you ask? It's a celebration of blogging in the month of August! Entering its twelfth year there are some adjustments this year. First, our standard Blaugust host Belghast has other areas to focus this year so Krikket (of Nerd Girl Thoughts) is stepping in to run the show. It will be my third year participating and I have a little bit different plan for this year.
In the past two Blaugusts I followed the Blaugust plan and worked towards the different objectives. I ensured I hit the daily posting target and went down the list of provided Blaugust weekly targets. This resulted in some different style posts as I blogged about areas that I didn't normally blog about.
For Blaugust 2025 my intent is to go a different route and since I never got around to my "wow I've been blogging for 20 years" post earlier this year I can use part of Blaugust to take a look back at those 20 years.
Additionally I've debated numerous times over the last few years about shaking up what blogging platform I use. This blog has existed on Google's Blogger for it's entire 20+ year run and it has served me well, but feature-rich it is not. Google has basically done nothing with the platform. As part of Blaugust I want to talk out loud about making a change of platforms and maybe even blog my way through that experience if I do decide to change. At minimum I will be taking the time to freshen up the blogger version here; starting with getting rid of Disqus comments that are riddling my site with unwanted ads.
Check back in on 8/1 for the start of this great Blaugust 2025 adventure!
