Blog Questions Challenge 2025
1. Why did you make the blog in the first place?
This blog initially started as part of the summer training by DGPLUG, where the good folks emphasize the importance of blogging and encourage everyone to write—about anything! That motivation got me into the habit, and I’ve been blogging on and off ever since.
2. What platform are you using to manage your blog and why did you choose it?
I primarily write on WriteFreely, hosted by Kushal, who was kind enough to host an instance. I also occasionally write on my WordPress blog. So yeah, I have two blogs.
3. Have you blogged on other platforms before?
I started with WordPress because it was a simple and fast way to get started. Even now, I sometimes post there, but most of my recent posts have moved to the WriteFreely instance.
4. How do you write your posts?
I usually just sit down and write everything in one go. Followed by editing part—skimming through it once, making quick changes, and then hitting publish.
5. When do you feel most inspired to write?
Honestly, I don’t wait for inspiration. I write whenever I feel like it—sometimes in a diary, sometimes on my laptop. A few of those thoughts end up as blog posts, while the rest get lost in random notes and files.
6. Do you publish immediately after writing or do you let it simmer a bit as a draft?
It depends. After reading a few books and articles on writing, I started following a simple process: finish a draft in one sitting, come back to it later for editing, and then publish.
7. Your favorite post on your blog?
Ahh! This blog post on Google Cloud IAM is one I really like because people told me it was well-written! :)
8. Any future plans for your blog? Maybe a redesign, changing the tag system, etc.?
Nope! I like it as it is. Keeping it simple for now.
A big thanks to Jason for mentioning me in the challenge!
Cheers!
