We Now Return You To Our Regularly Scheduled Broadcast, Already in Progress…

…in which I talk about my own current affairs and the regularity of my blogging.

I feel bad because it shouldn’t be all that hard to post one blog a week. Every friday I all of a sudden realize that I haven’t posted anything and that I should write something up “right now” or another week will go by. Then, on Monday, I realize that I’ve missed that week. Maybe I need a weekly blogging night, or something. I frequently have ideas that I want to write about, issues that bother me, thoughts that I ponder; you know, regular blogging topics, but I often forget them before I get a chance to write about them. To this end, I think I’m going to buy myself yet another blank journal and start a blogging notebook… kind of a “writer’s block defense book.” I almost bought one this weekend (for free with a coupon), but they were all so cheap looking I didn’t think they’d hold up to the abuse I was sure to pile on them. I’m low on funds right now, but I may still go out and see what I can find in the bookstore, later.

Jumping the Gun…

…in which I talk about my new blog style, before I’m even done with it.

I’d gotten more than one comment (complaint) about the white on black text layout, so I started looking for a new theme with a lighter color scheme. I like the one I got, but its got some layout issues that I’m still working out. So for now, its looking better, but I still have some work to do on it. I hope this is a bit of a better color scheme for you guys.

What goes around comes around…

…in which I talk about word getting out, and probably some other unrelated stuff.

With this new, and totally awesome, connected world we live in, we are constantly at risk of spilling the beans about any and all things that we are trying to keep quiet. Used to be, back in the times of the small town, you just had to try to keep the news out of the ear of the local gossip, and you’d be pretty okay with your secret. Some of your close friends may find out, either through trust or deduction, but it was still safe.

Welcome to the Social…

…in which I talk about blogging etiquette and whatever else comes to mind.

So even in my failing to be a more regular blogger (I strive for one update a week and have been a bit more slack, lately), I’m trying to be a more socially active Webbite. When people comment on my Flickr photos, I try to give them a comment back. When I see a good LiveJournal post, I try to give some kudos. I’ve been trying to share stuff and just be more proactive in my internets.

I’m a Bad Blogger…

…in which I talk about my recent lack of consistency

I’m sorry for not blogging more. I was on a roll with one blog a week but over the last two weeks I’ve just been completely buried under work, play, and side jobs. I’ll see about having something new up before too long. I wouldn’t want everyone to get bored now.

Nothing to See Here…

… in which I test a new Twitter feed plugin for WordPress.

That is all. Thank you for your time. Please move on.

On Blogging…

…in which I quote someone else’s blog and agree with them.

I was reading Subtraction, which is a blog I stumbled across not too long ago by some manner and he wrote an entry that spoke on the regularity and content of his blogging. It described very closely, my thoughts and opinions on blogging, so rather than take the time to try to write an original comment that says pretty much the same thing, I figure I’ll do the best thing and just quote it here.

Time keeps on slipping…

… in which I talk about a future post.

I hope to very soon write up a post about the most amazingĀ  adventures I had this past weekend. I’m just so busy right now, I can’t seem to catch a break.

Finding My Voice…

…in which I talk about blogging, writing, and allowing myself to make misteaks.

So I’ve got a new website, which currently has nothing on it, and a new blog, upon which I haven’t fully decided what I’m going to write. Way back when, when I started my LiveJournal, I was a pretty avid blogger, but I can’t say that there was that much introspection on those early posts. Most just served to keep people up to date on what I was doing. While I see the value in that, I’m not sure that’s the kind of blog I really want to have. Internet fame shouldn’t mean anything to me, but I do have a deep seated need for recognition and if writing something on the internet to get people to see it serves that purpose, then so be it. My problem is that I’m not exactly sure what I’m going to write. I know what I don’t want to write however, and its a struggle to write around that.
