Blogging

[Farren]

I started a blog at blogspot

streetofdreams.blogspot.com (http://streetofdreams.blogspot.com)

It currently only has three entries because I've been lazy and its stuff I've already talked about at HH, at length.

Anyway I think blogging rocks as a concept. When my head is more together I'm going to start 2 or 3 other blogs on specific topics like international politics. You can have a number of blogs on the same account.

Anyone else here have a blog? I know this forum has a journals section (great stuff so far, btw) but I like the idea of your own domain and everything.

Oh sure, fine, just try to lure our journal'ers away why don't you? Thanks buddy. :P

Stylistically, I'm actually partial to Moveable Type (http://www.movabletype.org/) myself. What software is Blogspot is based on?

I'll check out your blog next time I have a few free minutes. :)

I helped a friend set up his Blogger blog and he really liked it. He's one of those people whose mind is constantly moving and he finds getting it all down very salutary. I don't think I could ever do it, though. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I just don't seem to have the writing stamina for journal entries of any kind. :paperbag:

I had a blog once. I think I wrote in it for about three days, then it fell by the wayside. All through my life, I've wanted to keep a journal. I still wish that I'd had, as I've done so much living and experienced so many different people, places and things. But alas, I have no sense of self-discipline or routine.

I'm going to try to make use of the FF journals to share things about NZ with the membership here. Doubt I'll write personal stuff. And I doubt I'll write more than once a week or something.

That said, though, I'll definitely read your blogs, Farren. Especially if they're about International Politics, and the like. Yeah, man. :cool:

Btw, have you read Blake's journal here, Farren? I've not had time to read anyone else's yet, but that Blake bloke's material is right up my alley. :)

I recently caved in and got a fucking livejournal, simply because I realised I was spending so much time reading shit on Journalfen and Livejournal and posting anon comments that I may as well have one. That and I figured it'd be a good place to dump miscellaneous crap when I eventually get my website up and running, and gives me a way to interact with certain individuals from other online communities I'm part of as well.

I have one on my DA page that I use to post rants about how woe it is when I have my rags and bitch about shit that no one gives a fuck about. But that's kept at DA and you can avoid it easily.

I'm really slack with both of them, of course.

Yeah I've read Blake and Scotty's journals. Pretty cool.

I must say this new forum software rocks. Arcade games (although they tend to freeze up my Firefox beta), Journals... its like a big fat fun machine, not just a forum.

Last time I was manic I added a lot to my website, including a blog which I maintained for quite a while. I thought my website was going to change the world (anyone who has been manic will understand ;)) but - needless to say - it didn't. When I got better I took down almost everything I wrote when I was manic because it was too embarrassing.

Blogs are fun and I read other peoples' sometimes, but I have no plans to restart one of my own at present. (But who knows; that could change...)

Thanks Farren! :bow:

But you forgot the praise for me so you don't get paid. :deal:

We think vBulletin rocks pretty hard. phpBB is awesome for a free package, but after using both going back to phpBB really feels like a big step down. Even still, we had to install over a dozen hacks and have some features (ignore thread, disallow contact, ignore individual sig and avatar, voting system, filtering on votes) custom written for us. :yup:

Anyway sorry for the derail, back to our regularly scheduled program. :)

Farren, I loved your account of your stay in the hospital. I don't know if you meant it to be funny, but it was. Or maybe it's just my warped sense of humor. In any case, I have a blog on blogspot. It used to be personal shit but now it's mainly political. I'm currently on hiatus though.

Farren, your blog will most definitely be on my must-read list. :yup:

That looks awesome, Josh. :) He he... powered by caffeine.

No blogs for me. Don't have the time to waste writing up the trivialities of my life. You don't want to hear about my day-to-day adventures anyway. It's pretty boring.

Anyway, on discussion boards such as this (and others), I've found an outlet for getting out the stupid shit that I just have to tell somebody.

Not that there isn't excitement in my life ... I could devote a whole webpage to interactions with my crazy FIL. But it'd just take too long.

Mine is a LiveJournal at http://www.livejournal.com/users/whizfox/

It doesn't look like much to me, but who knows what others think.
