Back in 2024, I prematurely announced the return of the blog. That's because I had joined Woolpert as a BIM Coordinator (working on Mission Critical projects) and was free to post again. In fact, my hiring was in large part thanks to my past work here on Revit Add-ons! As such, this blog has continued to reward me. But, over those past two years, after an initial spurt, I've only posted sporadically. What can I say? It's been hard man...
As you may know, we offer ad space here on Revit Add-ons. But, for convoluted reasons I won't go into here, I've been unable to collect revenue from those ads for years. And, as I got older, that revenue had become a prime motivator. Without it, it was hard to find the impetus. Fortunately, that all changes next year (2027), so I figured I'd better get my butt back to work!
Time has marched on. Although mostly fallow, Revit Add-ons has continued to tick up in pageviews, now totaling nearly 8.5 million! Thanks to all of you—it means more than you know.
Many of the other Revit blogs I've followed have also slowed or stopped. The BIMsider hasn't posted in four months. Boost Your BIM hasn't posted in the past couple of years. The Building Coder is simply gone; Jeremy Tammik has transitioned from Autodesk to a private consultant, and his site is simply... gone. In its place is a message that Typepad (the blog authoring platform) has shutdown. Wow, what a loss. Ditto for It's Alive in the Lab. The Revit Kid is still relatively active, having posted only a couple of months ago. Revit OpEd is for all intents and purposes fallow, as is What Revit Wants. And those are all the blogs I've followed... It's kind of sad. We here at Revit Add-ons have been part of that trend, but I'm going to reverse it by posting at least once a day. That's my commitment to you, and to the community at large. Come along, won't you?
