It's good to be back and even better to be welcomed back! You say: "...it is nice to have a focus to your writing lest you try to appeal to everyone and end up pleasing fewer people than before. Need to have flexible paramaters I think is the best answer." I think flexibility and focus is key - and enjoyment and self expression. An 'amateur' blog is more personal than other forms of publishing platforms. It can detract, if it's really irrelevant and naval gazing, but it can also enhance. Making opinions more textured, providing more context and a deeper engagement. In short it can enhance credibility. Dankie David. It’s good to be back and even better to be welcomed back!

Hey, good to have you back. So now you are re-re-deployed. I am also finding that the whirl of events in SA makes for rather depressing content on one's blog - hence long hiatus on my side as well. However, it is nice to have a focus to your writing lest you try to appeal to everyone and end up pleasing fewer people than before. Need to have flexible paramaters I think is the best answer. The jury is out, but good to see you back in. David Mhambi!
