Back to Blogging, What’s to Come of it?

Dec 14, 2007

I’ve been blogging on and off for the last few years, but about 8 months ago I gave up on it completely. After feeling a bit inspired, I’m back on the bandwagon. (or is it off the bandwagon?)

I’m going to do my best not to bore everyone and hopefully provide some great insight along the way. My first real post (hopefully in the next two weeks) will be a quick tutorial on creating a “life feed” along the lines of tumblr and jaiku. These sites pull together everything you put online in a nice little package – all your bookmarks, photos, blog posts, favorite videos and so on.

To me, these services are only good for building a community of people to follow, but for those of you who really just use the widget features of these services to put on your own website – it’s easy to take care of yourself with little effort.

Keep an eye out for me, grab my feed so you don’t miss out and thanks for coming by.
