www.philip-sen.com - First Anniversary

Today it's exactly one year since this site went online - so here's my anniversary review. This is me on the right, by the way: I'm not actually keen on putting photos of myself up here since I'd rather emphasise my thoughts, ideas and pictures.

Philip-sen.com is an idea I had been toying with for a while, and once I returned to the UK afer four months travelling last year I decided to go ahead. Initially it was meant to be an online photo album with a little bit of a self-marketing section, but since then it's blossomed more than I had imagined. There must be close to 500 pictures on the site by now.

After becoming nervous whether Google was ever going to trace it, finally it did and the hits started coming in.

In response to a suggestion by a former editor, my old e-mail dispatches from around the Asia Pacific region were re-invented as a blog some time in October, adding a whole new dimension to the site.

The blog is hard to define, but ultimately it's a personal magnifying class on my life and thoughts during my stay in Shanghai. I came here with an unwritten mission to try and understand China and the Chinese, something that's much easier said than done. For what it's worth, this is mostly what you'll see on these pages.

Discovering blogging opened up new windows for me: I was appointed editor of a newly germinating site called Living in China, which is beginning to assume some significance in the Chinese underground media. Recently I started up another site, PostCampus.com, a webzine written by students from my Journalism English course. Ultimately the amount of hours I've put in with the above have been to the detriment of my own personal blog, but no matter.

So much for my little empire. Without access to Dreamweaver, the whole lot has been hard coded (HTML programmed by hand) by myself, which has done wonders for my computer skills though I wouldn't yet rank myself as a web designer.

So that's my site. Precisely one year to the minute after its first hit, www.philip-sen.com has garnered 23,115 visits and 62,422 page impressions. Viewings currently average about 100 per day. This may not sound like much, but it gives me some personal satisfaction.

It's not a big gun, but it's fun shooting it..
