I've been blogging for a while now at <http://dglenn.livejournal.com> (which makes me look more active than I am, since the Quote-of-the-Day entries are posted automagically). I had been right on the verge of hacking together a bunch of roll-my-own scripts to add blogging to my main (mostly static) web site, when it finally registered just how many of my RL friends were using LJ. Seeing the comment handling system (yaay for threaded comment presentation!) and the networking effects there was enough to make me decide that even if using it was "too easy" for a "serious nerd", it was still a good way for me to go. LJ's feature set seems to facilitate community-forming, and I'm in the group of bloggers who finds that a useful trait. (But I eventually came up with a new technical challenge anyhow: I've created mirrors (new posts only so far, archives to follow when I get a round tuit) on three other services using the same software (so as to not be beholden to one service provider), and am now working out tools to automate keeping the four copies in sync. The mirrors, in case anyone finds them more convenient, are <http://dglenn.insanejournal.com>, <http://dglenn.greatestjournal.com>, and <http://www.blurty.com/users/dglenn>. At present, most of the comments are on LJ.) -- Glenn PS: If anyone still picking software cares about my opinion, I really hate Haloscan comment boards. / -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
