PARTICULARS ABOUT MY BLOG

When I retired from the practice of law in 2006, I was seventy-three years of age. Obviously I then had a lot of time on my hands so I decided to spend the balance of my life doing the thing I love doing best and that is writing. Since that year, I wrote seven books which are published and I began writing a blog. This article is about my blog.

The different topics I choose to write about total ninety-five.  Since 2006, I have written and published as many as 1,699 articles in my blog. The word count of each of my articles are between 1,20 to 9,00 which  totals a little over  one million and eighty thousand words.

I spend on average, seven hours a day every week in my study researching topics and writing the articles.

I have 40 daily resources to choose my topics from. They include newspapers, television, radio and my 89 books in my study.

A Rogue blog is one that goes against the grain. It exists to break the mold and to stand out from the pack in an effort to attract attention—even, sometimes, negative attention. It is  polarizing. But that’s ok because Rogue blogs are founded on the principle that ‘any attention is good attention, so while some people will flee from it, others will flock to it. The hope, of course, is that they will generate more admirers than detractors.

So far my, my blog has generated  as many as 145,190 hits that  came from the United States, and as many as 8,207 hits came from Canada. Thousands more came from Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, Ukraine Australia, Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, Brazil, Hong Kong, Portugal, and South Korea.  

One thing I do that pleases my viewers is the print is large enough to read without glasses and the articles are written as a  single column.

My opinions are my own and in Canada, the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled twice  that writers can say whatever they wish to say about anyone  if it strictly their opinion.  Years ago. I wrote an article in my blog about a business woman whom I said in my blog that she was a crook. She sued me for five million dollars for defamation of her character. I represented myself in court and my argument was that what I said about her in my blog was strictly my opinion. Her case was lost and she subsequently went bankrupt. Since then, I have written in my blog about horrible people and none of them have sued me.  However, I take great care to make sure that what I write in my blog is truthful.  

I accept the opinions of my readers when they  place a response at the bottom of my articles as long their response isn’t disrespectful to me and is about the topic of the article. If the response is disrespectful to me, I will erase  it from the article. I do however accept views that are contrary to my own.

My articles are published on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I rarely miss a date but when I go on a week’s holiday, I will wait until I return home to continue publishing my articles in my blog.
