I had a blog, once. It was before blogger, livejournal, facebook or myspace (remember myspace?). I had a website where I had a blog running MovableType, and for a while, it was a lot of fun. Then spam hit. I spent more time clearing out the spam then I did blogging. Eventually, I deactivated comments altogether, and that robbed all the joy out of it. When myspace/facebook came along, the need to keep my friends and family informed of my doings shifted to social media platforms and away from my then-stagnate blog, and I deactivated the website, its blog, and picture gallery.
All this to say that I’ve been crawling over other blogs, and I like some of what they are doing. A lot has changed in the 6 years since I last blogged regularly. There are a lot of neat blogging tools I’m playing with. This post, for example, is written in Windows Live Writer, and I’m really liking it so far. Other suggestions? Let me know.
I intend to go back and add some more context, dramatis personae, and other helpful anecdotes to many of the posts I just flooded the blog with as time allows me to do so.
