A couple weeks ago I stared at The Evening Sun website one afternoon, frustrated that it had been over a week since any of my reporters had blogged. “What’s so hard about putting a few cohesive paragraphs of original thought together once in a while?” I asked myself.

“Self,” I said, “you haven’t blogged in almost a year.”

And I was right; I hadn’t. The whole blogging thing is only a few years old on evesun.com, but even I found myself “saving” the good stuff for my weekly column, which I then proceeded not to write, as well.

So at that very moment of epiphany, I decided to employ the rarely used “Lead by example” method of management (I’ve always been a fan of “Do as I say, not as I do,” to great effect) and commit myself to blogging every day. And with the exception of my Fridays off (which are soon, sadly, to end), that’s exactly what I’ve done.
