Keeping My Online Journal Alive

Posted on

When I started this blog, all I think of is to serve this as a journal of my wedding preparations and thoughts, down to my random posts regarding my happy marriage. So this means writing and publishing posts, while trying to have a number of people read this, especially those who are going through the same situation.

But times are different and now I also have to take care of some admin tasks like renewing domain and hosting services, looking for offsite data backup services as well as monitoring the financial aspects of running a blog. This I find time consuming yet fulfilling, especially if you do your best to take care of the blog that keeps a lot of special memories alive, from my wedding preparations, until my living my dream of blissful married life.
