Miss Me?

So I’m back. Why? A few reasons.

  • I’ve got a few posts percolating in me and I need a place to put them. I’ve got some block about putting them up at Vox. I think it’s because of the ads. If my words are going to earn a CPC, I want it to be on my AdSense account.
  • I wanted to give WordPress a try. Nothing against Movable Type - I just wanted to see if a new tool inspired anything. So far, I’m impressed. It took me less than an hour to get it installed, import my old MT entries, and install the new theme.
  • Speaking of, one of the main reasons I decided to give WordPress a spin was the lovely Hemingway theme. Every time I saw it on another site, I thought, wow, sweet theme. This marks the first time powazek.com has ever used a theme I didn’t design. That’s either a compliment to Hemingway or a comment on my newfound laziness. Either way, I’m cool with it.

I shut down all my blogs in the new year because I made this new year’s resolution: There’s enough pressure in life, don’t put more on yourself. I’m gonna try to keep that in mind still. So I may post here every day, or once a year. No promises, okay?

It’s so strange seeing Powazek on Wordpress and using a theme I have used on my old blog. Welcome back.

Agreed, Daniel — I had to double-check the URL when the site first loaded. It’s strange to not find original design.

Nice that you’re ‘back’. Only noticed just now.

Just found out you were blogging again (blame/thank the JPG thing) and I’m glad you are! I think the only way to blog in the long term and happily is to “blog when you feel like it”.

Go for it :-)
