THE FUTURE OF JONOLA14.CO.UK
April 6th, 2008 Posted in Jonola14So.
Despite a new year’s resolution to write more for my website, I’ve managed to pen just nine entries in three months. Some people write nine posts every day! This has got me thinking about the site and where it’s headed.
It initially started as a laugh, then developed into an online diary and now acts as an archive of amusing events that friends and I may have since forgotten. Nowadays, it’s more of a sporadic info point where I moan about something or other and where very little of amusing value seems to originate. This begs the question ‘what does the future hold for jonola14.co.uk’?
Whilst it would be a shame to close the site down after seven years of existence, I fear I do not have the time and, I’ll be honest, the inclination to keep it fully maintained with regular entries. So what are the options? I could keep it online for sentimental reasons and continue to post the occasional blog, I could take it down completely, or I could invite other contributors.
Your thoughts, loyal readers (if you exist), would be welcome.

Heya Jac !
As i could perhaps denoted myself as a loyal reader (an attentive one at least for quite a long time now, if i could say that :):), i want here first to express all my thanks for your constant humour and way to give us your moments of your sparkling life !
if you could keep it alive i would be glad to read your entries as ever when they come and for sure, don’t close it , please 
All the best and …
Yes , during harassing days at work i often allow myself some breaks during which i am reading your blog and it’s always a real treat , honestly.
I do know it’s not an easy task to regularly update this kind of diary, nevermind and it has not to be a daily one, blimey
Hope everything (else) is fine with you
Sincerely Yours
Stephane D’Erceville

Stephane! Now that IS a loyal reader…
I vote to keep it online. I was looking through some old school and college notebooks the other day - and it was great reminiscing back to the good old days. It’ll be the same for the writings on this blog in years to come. You may find, as I do, that you get spurts of blog-based creativity, and it would be a shame to have to start from scratch.
And, dare I say it, it IS very well-written…

Probably not the first time you have heard this but, try and keep it up.
If not to entertain the World then for your readers to read about your life so they feel better about theirs.
You could implement a system that would let you text updates directly into the blog….? I imagine it’s possible (Mr S?) and would make it easier to update.

thanks everyone. It’s good to hear that the site is enjoyed and I do like writing up the occasional story to share with the world.
I think the site needs a redesign and the features/sections need to be refreshed. Wibbler, job coming your way.
After all, it IS very well-written…
