The fearsome blog of Andrew Davies

If you’re blogging for yourself what you really need is a diary.  Blogging should make you happy.  But it’s a public act. Fundamentally, it’s for other people.

Don’t get me wrong. If you blog just for the joy of it, I won’t think any less of you than I do of people with more reputable hobbies like bowling, checkers and speed dating. You go on and be you.

In my case, it’s part of a personal social networking strategy. I’m sharing what I’ve come up with in case you (dear reader) want to do your own.

Actually, I’ve been a blogging for years.  Mainly, on a professional level for Greenpeace.

Since moving to Amsterdam and getting a desk job, that means mainly posting on Making Waves the Greenpeace International staff blog.  Before that, I used to sail the seas for Greenpeace – telling the story of our ships and our work from the front lines.

These days…

I’m working on a project to roll out new design and technology across the global organization (40 country sites in 26 languages).  It keeps me busy.

So good to see you here today.
