Earlier last week I apologized for the changes in my blogging behaviour.

A few people have commented on this, emailed me and even blogged about it .

After a few days of thinking about this, I think I realize part of what the “problem” is, at least in my head.

Ensight has always been a heavy dose of “Work” as well as my “Interests”. My interests generally boil down to Business and Tech stuff. Then toss in some “Personal” things like Humour and my Life and you have the mix for this blog. Oh, and some blogging about blogging (also known as “Metablogging”).

One of the problems is that as things have changed, so has that mix. Lots of things have been happening, for example, in my Life area. And so I’ve blogged about this. And my Interests started to include “metablogging more and more”. This culminated with a massive change in my work: I don’t work for anyone else anymore. I work for my own company (and Darren’s too): InsideBlogging.

The problem with this, is that all of a sudden it seems (to me at least) like I’m doing a hell of a lot more “metablogging” and less “business and tech” blogging. The reality, though, is that I’m doing just as much as I was before, it’s just that my “Work” stuff is all blogging related. Looking back, there is still as much “general business and tech stuff that interests me” as there always was.

But, there’s definitely been a content shift in terms of topics.

At the same time, because I’ve been so busy and in shock (new job, new book, new son, new influence, soon to be new city/province/house, new online show, etc). And, as a result, I haven’t been writing as many original thoughts as I once had. I’ve been doing more pointing and more commentary.

To be honest, I don’t know how to change that. I’m still working out what has changed (as you can see). I’m not sure I’m enjoying where things are at at this very moment, but I also know I probably won’t enjoy “regimenting” myself to post about certain things.

As a result, be warned, it’s entirely possible that I’ll have nothing of any importance to say (that’s original thought stuff) for a while. There’ll probably still be lots of “news”, “odd thoughts” and “links to things that interest me” for the next little while.

That said, whenever I write a post like this, what I was writing about as a problem invariably changes. Maybe it’s the act of admitting it that changes everything.

Whatever. Consider this might self-awareness process and feel free to either voyeuristically watch or to come back in 28 days. I promise I won’t mind. And if I do I’ll try not to blog about it ;-)
