Well, I’ve finally re-activated my website. It’s a blog now! Or, as I shall call it, my blag. I have absolutely no idea whatsoever what I shall do with it, but we’ll work that out as time goes on. I just have to remember to update it in a timely manner. And hope no one ever reads it.
What’s the impetus behind this? Well, designing a graphic for my WoW-friend Tamori, my curiosity became piqued as to Wordpress. I’ve seen it talked about all over the internet, but never really looked at it beyond a stray Google search result while searching for, say hovering cats. I have to say, thus far… I’m impressed. Seems very robust, and without diving into the code too deeply, it looks to be very modular and easy to write plug-ins for. Why, I can even post or view from my phone should I choose to! All of my previous websites have been hand-coded from scratch by me, so it’s nice that I was able to just steal the code and have it “just work.”
So what’s going to go here? Absolutely no idea. In theory, it should just be a journal. But why keep a journal? Am I going to have any profound insights that will want to be studied by future generations? Am I so desperate for attention that I’ll spend an hour writing something and then demand that everyone go look at what I read? Will I offer useful advice, witty rejoinders, or something unique that nowhere else has to offer? The most likely answer to all these questions is… no. I have no idea what this will be. I’m not even sure it will last. Anyone who’s known me for any length of time knows that my interests are fickle and passing. I’ve started a comic, let it die, restarted it again, killed it before it began, and then started a new one, which was meted out a timely abandonment (I dare not glance ‘pon the visage of my misbegotten progeny, lest their memories fill me with sorrow and lament). I pick up a vintage Mario game for a console of yesteryear, intending to play it to completion, only to get frustrated 3 deaths in and give up. Truly, my interests are not long lasting.
And yet I just had a four-year anniversary with my fiancĂ©e, and have spent most of that time playing the same character in World of Warcraft. So perhaps there’s hope for me yet. For all my dropped endeavors, I do have some ability to settle into a routine. So, perhaps this website will outlive its predecessors! Perhaps all I need is a little motivation to work on it. Who needs a purpose? Pfft.
