Back To Wordpress

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

After my dalliance with Typo I am back on Wordpress.  I found I was spending too much time fiddling with Typo and not enough time writing (and the fact thta my half assed configuration just stopped working with monotonous regularitywas discouraging).

So here I am back on Wordpress.  It was a manual migration so it looks like I wrote a bunch of stuff today.

Lets see if I manage to spout off a little more now eh?

Going Meta

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

I attended the AYE conference last year part of which was a writers workshop. This was the most memorable of all the sessions for me; partly because it should me what emotional depths one can access, quite unexpectedly, when writing about something one cares about; partly because it was actually useful for me (unlike many writing workshops I have attended). Anyway, lessons learned: * Write about what you care about * Keep writing * Go “meta” when you are stuck How does “going meta” work? Well, if you care about writing and you are stuck then write about why you are stuck. It will fulfil all the three “lessons learned” and might show why you are stuck. The Ramblings category is my “going meta” category so it might appear quite random. I hope readers might gain something from my struggles :-)

Moved to Typo

Well, Here I am on Typo. Still finding my way around and working out the details. I think I am going to have to learn one of the markups soon.
