Domain

I have been thinking about getting a domain for a while and will put this plan into action next week. Which has got me thinking does it matter what platform I use? As the domain will be consistant and the template will be customised so you won't be able to detect if it was Blogger or WP. I do like blogger because its what I have used for so many years and it links up with the google accounts eg Picassa etc. So its neat in that way. The problem is that I feel that WP or tumblr may infact be better community wise (because they have to do things them selves) also blogger development seems to have grind to a hault. I mean its good and there is really nothing wrong with it. But WP has a iphone app, mucho importanto in the future. But I would also like to keep my archive of posts. I'm sure there is a way to export/backup if needed, but its not something I would like to go through.

The other thing I would like to do is consolidate my online presence, there are just too many sites to update, with technology as it is, its not hard to auto update other places from the one service.

New Layout

I think its time for a new layout, also need to tidy a few things up on the side bar. Everytime I signup to a social network type thing I add the widget to the side bar resulting in a mash of randobs. So I have gotten rid of all that shit and placed links in my profiles list so if people would like to follow my specific music habbits that know to check out last.fm etc.

The blog should always be just a blog. Unless I use other services like wp or something which could have different pages/tabs for that type of stuff. I think the links are good enough. The otehr fact is that all these other services its actually very easy to connect up with other people.

Next I need to change the format of the blog slightly so that its just not the template. Even if I use the template thats fine, but it needs to have some kind differentiating features.

Finaly I need to actually start doing something about my blog posts, not just more links eg D-news, but there are plenty of things that I am doing or am interested in that require comment or pictures etc. Anway, I think if this does not work, its kinda pointless even having a blog.

600

I am now upto 600 posts on my blog.

Woot!

Twitter

I am inherrantly apposed to new things that don't add value and consume all of your time (facespace). A blog atleast requires effort, consequentialy you are not going to put up any old crap.

But life goes on, and as noted with blogger its better to get on early to actually get the username you want. beancounting was gone, and the person using it last loged in last year, so is inactive....but not much I can do about that.

So follow my spittle on twitter.com/dhimesh

Yeah, started blogging again.

Why? Not sure.
