I've just upgraded my blog from "BlogX" to "dasBlog", which is BlogX on steriods.  For those who are interested, BlogX was created by Chris Anderson of Microsoft.  It became wildly popular due to its simple but elegant design.  It wasn't without it's problems though, so it seems the code was refactored a bit and became dasBlog (which I can only assume is a reference to the film Das Boot).  Anyway, the new version has TONS of great enhancements, most notably the entry creation form is fan-freaking-tastic. Now you too can upload images, create links and change the appearance of your blog.  (That is, if Peter will set it up for you (and if Peter set yours up in the first place. (I really like nested parenthetical phrases))).

Anyway, this is just one of several changes I'm making in an attempt to revitalize my blogging habits. Another is my mindset.  When I started, my purpose was to keep everyone up-to-date on everything that happens.  This led to a mountain of updates that just discouraged me from trying.  I also worried about my target audience.  Alot of the stuff that really excites me probably seems nerdy and boring --mostly nerdy-- to most of the people that usually read this, which discouraged me from sharing some things.  But after reading Jenkies's entries, I've found that I really get to know alot more about a person by what they write, even if it's not the kind of stuff I normally read about.  It's interesting because I'm really learning about a friend, so I don't have to have an emotional attachment to the content.

So, from now on, this blog will be about me whether anyone likes it or not.  I'll try to give people a warning when I'm going to delve into things technical.  I'm thinking about employing some kind of color scheme to categorize content visually (nerd alert).

Speaking of color, I'm also going to tweak with my "theme".  This blue is a bit ordinary.

Also, I'm going to try not to blabber on and on about...oops.
