The Went Report

As part of updating the blog, I've named it properly as The Went Report!!!

The Went Report was the name that I gave to my opinion pieces that I wrote about rugby league when I was back in Year 5. I would finish my work, ask for a piece of art paper and go write a report about what was happening in the game. The title was stolen from Geoff Prenter, who was the editor of Rugby League Week at the time and wrote a weekly column titled the Prenter Report. 

The Went Report recurred in some other guises during my high school years and I've retained a fondness for the title, hence its selection as my blog.

As a perusal of the archive will show, I set up the blog 6 years ago and entertained varying visions of becoming a prolific blogger, now that I'm not entertaining such visions, I've finally organised the blog and started telling people about it.

The main purpose for the blog is to give me a space to write longer spiels than fit in a Facebook status post. Sometimes I'll include updates about my family and career, other times I'll write about my interests. I expect that most posts will be fairly short and that lengthy spiels will be irregular.

My interests include books, current affairs, sports, sustainability issues, science, education and so most of my posts will relate to one of those. However, I will write about whatever I feel like writing, irrespective of whether I have promised to write about it previously. I don't intend to make money out of the blog and I'm not particularly concerned about how large the audience is, which frees me to write as I please.

I'm not certain as to how regularly I will post,  so rather than making any grandiose claims that subsequent events will disprove, I will simply post as I feel like it and see how many posts I make.

There are still a few things I have to do with the updating process so there's a good chance that additional changes will occur here.

I've finally made the blog look presentable and I'm sharing it with people I know - this is rather exciting!
