Thank you to all those who read and commented on my blog post on April 1st. I''m not really going to stop blogging. Hopefully I succeeded - albeit in a tongue in cheek way - to illustrate that blogging is never easy, but it can have great rewards. Others are profoundly affected by harsh comments on their blogs.

Anyone who blogs regularly will have discovered several truths. Many people struggle to maintain a regular blog that is consistently good, or at least meaningful. Although you are only as good as your last blog, all your previously blogs are also out there, archived, published for people to read (and for you to revisit, if you wish).

But are you as good as your last blog? Does yesterday's blog post still hold currency or must you continually press forward to write better, to expand on your ideas and elaborate your understanding of your subject? Blogging is different. But with your own blog, you can be master of your own destiny.

Many bloggers would give their right arm to be able to write posts that are widely read. For many, blogging is a little like whistling into the wind. It's quite a lonely existence when you write, and write and post your ideas. It can be soul destroying when it appears that no-one is reading your finely crafted blog post.

One of the perennial problems teachers face, especially in early years education, is trying to get children to write.

I began blogging because I needed a way to document what I was doing, thinking and studying. My professional life is pretty hectic much of the time, and I needed a space to write down my ideas and record my thoughts before I forgot them. In essence, blogging crystallised my thinking, and extended the scope of my knowledge.

Mindful of these theories, I have recently been working alongside students to encourage them to write for an audience. Normally, in higher education, students write for an audience of one.
