Do you blog? If so... →[More:]I've just gone through the rite (so it seems to me, both psychologically as a regular blog reader and script-wise as a total n00b) of setting up WordPress on my domain so I can blog. Apparent success!... Next!? To quote Bob Dylan: "I've got a head-full of ideas that are driving me insane." Now that I have it set up it is too easy. I can say anthing I want to!

Do you have a blog? If so I'd like to see it and please link to it in this thread. I have an idea of what I want to do (share/publish my own music, link to cool things that interest the reader base I am after). Caveat: this is going to (eventually/hopefully) be a commercial blog to sell me and my music. Not that that matters. A good blog is a good blog...

So please link me to your blog. I'm not going to comment in this thread at all but I will click every link that you present. If this is a bad idea I am sure Darwin (i.e. taz, dodgy, q) will shut me down. I am looking for self links if you think your blog is cool.

Eek. I wanted to add mine to the Wiki, but the code looks so intimidating!

Seconded. Mine is here.

Hope us admin.

shane, your link is empty but I used the link from your profile page.

TrishaLynn, you're in as well.

CE, mine is in the wiki.

It started as a whim and has developed into a place to practice my writing. I've also found myself settling into an identity as a photographer.

I find that I don't want to get into the left/right political battles that seem to define much of the US blogosphere. I'm also glad that I blog as myself; I bear in mind that whatever I write will stay tied to me, personally, into the future. It makes me stop and think before I post and I think has helped me avoid some mistakes.

Jump in. See what your swimming style turns out to be. I look forward to checking out your music!

Here's mine, which is also in the wiki. I just redesigned yesterday, so if anybody has any problems, let me know.

shane, your link is empty...

People tell me that a lot. Oops. Here.

Here, here (my Slashdot journal), and here (as a contributor).

I think I'm in the wiki, but I share a blog with about five other people at Owl-Stretching (dot-com).

I'm one of the dwindling few people who "blog" (or journal or maunder or woolgather or blather or jabber or pontificate or prattle or ramble) via email. I'm in the wiki. (Note: occasional naughty words which may catch in your work email filters). Not for everyone.

Do the complete opposite of this and you should be fine.

Mine’s on the wiki list too. I’m also serially publishing an old almost-out-of-print book in weblog format.

I hear that the author of www.organicmechanic.org is an amazingly attractive man with excellent prospects.

Mine's also on the wiki, but here's the link.

ummm...has cryptical been banned? The link in his post goes back to metachat and his profile is a 404.

I just started a blog again after not having one for a long long time - it's here: plort

Thanks everybody! Interesting. As I suspected....

Tonight I will try to add my blog to the wiki. Nothing much going on ATM as far as posts are concerened (2) but I hope it works. Figuring out the WordPress baiscs is obviously the easy part. Now, who to steal links from...

The link in his post goes back to metachat and his profile is a 404.

The original link was supposed to go back to the MetaChat front page. I still don't know what's up with my profile. Probably because I have been banned before (sorry for the headaches and offenses, folks). If you add a space between "cryptical" and "envelopment" there I am. Dodgy?...

I think I am in the wiki now. Amberglow on top and me on the bottom. ;>

My user name is not working so well. Dodgy? I tried everything I could think of.
