I was recently chatting with my lawyer and he said to me, come on, ¨get yourself a blog¨. I gave it a thought and concluded there was no good reason not to start one.
Now these two incidents led me to blogspot.com and immediately started creating one. I spend at least 15 hours daily on the Internet and kept postponing this action but i guess i will have a great way to remember this public holiday.
Getting a name for my blog was not easy. I tried a few English names that i liked but were not available. Then i rushed to one of my shelves and retrieved a title ¨1000 Kikuyu Proverbs¨, got a few ideas but only Google could sort me out. I looked up for a Gîkûyû glossary and found one that worked.
So what is rugongo, rugongo is a Gîkûyû term meaning ¨A ridge lying between two rivers in Gîkûyû country. Ridges were often formally recognized territorial units sharing similar social obligations.¨
I feel a bit odd at this point, i am a Gîkûyû/Kikuyu and had lots of trouble getting an id for my blog in my mother tongue. Now i hope to use this blog to discuss my thoughts and promote this language which is extremely rich. Only through this can i better my now very diluted Gîkûyû..
Time to break now as i find out over the days how well i can keep up on this journey.. I have heard
¨Having your own blog is hard work. Not only do you have to create it, but you also have to market it. People won't read it otherwise. And that's partially why 60% of bloggers have not updated their blogs in the last 60 days. They often don't properly market their blog and they end up talking to themselves. T.... BY: Elge Premeau¨
