Misunderstanding The Importance Of A Blog

I'll be honest, I've totally neglected this blog. When I set it up I didn't really know what I wanted from a blog or what a blog really did in terms of helping you get noticed.

A few years ago I was made redundant from my graphic design job in Gateshead and struggled to get back into the design industry. I found that unless you had HTML and CSS knowledge, even as a graphic designer you were going to struggle. I learnt how to code properly in my spare time whilst I took a job in a totally different industry to help financially. This past year though I have finally fallen into a job where I am learning so much, from SEO, blogging, HTML newsletters and much more. Finally I have realised what I have been missing for so long. A blog that I update frequently with good content that people want to read!!!

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that this post is going to make you want to read further posts but at least it has got me back into the swing of things. I'm going to continue blogging from this blogger account. In reality it's not great and was set up for quickness years ago. In the coming months I want to try and redesign my portfolio at Logan Designs and incorporate a Wordpress blog, hopefully mirroring the look of my new site and updating the blog regularly. It might take a while because I want to set up a few different blogs on various subjects but I'm sure I'll get there in the end.

So stay with me folks and hopefully by Christmas (I know it sounds ages away but it's not) I'll have a new fancy site that you will wanna keep coming back to read!
