Welcome back! Some people come, some go and some return. Sometimes things happen in life and people get other priorities. I see people sometimes mention they are going to blog more, but blogging itself shouldn't be a goal. That could make it feel like work.
Only blog when you feel like it and about the subjects you like.
There have been some recent initiatives to improve engagement like commentrewarder and PeakD snaps. You might want to check those out.
At least this post has generated some nice engagement 👊
Exactly: just blog when you have something good to share. That will be reward enough.
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll make sure to check them out!
