A blog is, on its most simplistic level, an outlet for the thoughts of an individual. They can also provide commentary on current social or political events. Blogs are also used to publish new content: podcasts, essays, and art spring to mind. I want my blog to be all these things.
I want it to be readable and usable to everybody: not just the subset of people who actually know me. That’s what Facebook is for. I want to have content that is worth reading, even if it isn’t a regular thing.
You might wonder why I’m saying this. The reason is simple. Without a written goal, there is no motivation to acheive. And with a published goal, there is even more reason. You can all hold me to it. Or at least that is what my teachers from high school said to my classmates and I. Whether it works remains to be seen.
You’ll also notice (or you will once I point it out) that I switched from Drupal back to Wordpress. There is no good reason for this, other than that it was easier to install Wordpress on my new host (SilentFlame) than Drupal was. And I’d just to like to plug SilentFlame a bit: they give their profits to charity, and their service is remarkable. I haven’t had a real chance to judge uptime yet, but so far it’s been fine.
