As you can see from the dates of my previous posts, I’ve had a problem sustaining my blogging. I’d toyed with the idea of just completely deleting the whole thing, but I think I’d like to give it one more shot. Ottawa has a vibrant community of bloggers and I’d like to take a shot at joining them.
I’ve spent the last couple of days playing around in LibraryThing — I really need to start cataloguing the books I own and LibraryThing is a handy way to do that, better than the dbase file I was using or the XLS file I’d just started. I’ve also added a few other widgets/feeds, including my last.fm feed and the latest photos in my Flickr photostream. (Yes, I know I haven’t done anything in either for awhile but maybe having them in my face will make me use them more.)
I’m still sorting out the theme to use — haven’t found one yet that I actually like all the facets of and I don’t have time right now to manually tweak one. So, this quirky pink one is an interim theme. It’s cute, but I imagine there are too many blogs using it.
ETA: Wow, just flashed back on my early days blogging (2002-ish?). Think I was using Movable Type at the time — don’t know how it works now but then you had to manually force the pages of your blog to update. It was very clunky. Mind you, prior to that, I was just manually writing static HTML pages with “news” so I suppose it was still a step up from what I was doing. Think I started using Movable Type after my brother pointed out Wil Wheaton’s blog (which used MT at the time) to me.
