You don’t need an “I’m back” post.
Quick Question, Be Honest. When Did You Last Publish A Blog Post?
If your answer is “don’t make me say it out loud,” you, my friend, are in excellent company.
I’ve had stretches where my last post was so old it felt like it belonged in a little museum display. I’d open my site, see the date, and instantly want to write a formal apology letter to the internet. (In all honestly, that is why I removed publish dates from my blog in the first place.)
