Raising a blog…parenting 101

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

In my quest to determine how to design my blog, what style I should write it in, or even if I should stick to a topic, I went out and plagiarized searched for blog ideas and styles.  It appears people like sticking to overloaded themes, busy widgets/gadgets/i-something/flashy animations and I think it is too god damn annoying.  So, back to this simple theme until I find something that works for me.  I did not give up my search; I am merely taking a break from my quest online.  I have already planned out a subject for my first third (ed: but who’s counting?) blog post.  I am going to dive deep into my archive and pull out something that mixes psychology, human interactivity and computers.  This is an old dissertation from several years ago, so I hope there has been some research while this was collecting dust.  Fear not, I will not include any http links/references, simply book titles and ISBN numbers for those diehard bibliographers (eg: a real library was used and books did not need batteries!!). 

For the time being, enjoy this blog that really stood out of the crowd.  Caution: do not eat while visiting this link.  Do not eat 3 hours after visiting this link.   http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/cat_steve_dont_eat_it.php  

(Does this mean his blog is now fact as I cite it from my blog?)

Welcome to my new blog, new and existing (fans).

I think I will hold out procastinating any longer and finally, yes, FINALLY restart my blog.  It appears I have a decent audience (if 30-50 hits a day means anything, possibly not, meh!), so I decided to flush out my old blog, and start fresh!  Wait for updates…this site will get a better interface shortly!

 So what to expect from this blog?  New authors!  I am going to be pulling in new contributors to post the most random of things…from how to prune your hedges, to how to rid of EM interference from your head.  I’m going to get those rabid squirrels…

Also, this time around, my blog is going to be a personal free for all.  Time to post my experiences and get out of my private shell.  I personally prefer bash. 

 I understand this blog is going to be read by strangers, random friends, people I know well, and, quite possibly, family.  So here goes and thanks for all the fish!
