Crafty Cat » blogging http://clair.craftyneko.com because all work and no play makes Clair a bored cat Fri, 09 Jul 2010 02:32:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 New Linux User is now on EveryJoe.com http://clair.craftyneko.com/2009/04/08/new-linux-user-is-now-on-everyjoecom/ http://clair.craftyneko.com/2009/04/08/new-linux-user-is-now-on-everyjoecom/#comments Wed, 08 Apr 2009 14:34:08 +0000 clair http://clair.craftyneko.com/?p=91 If you’ve been wondering where my Linux blog is these days, it has become part of everyjoe.com, your source of the latest in what’s happening in technology, gaming and sports. If you drop by everyjoe.com, you get a bunch of headlines of various topics with those subjects. It’s neat and organized that way. ;) So to get to New Linux User, it’s now http://www.everyjoe.com/newlinuxuser

I hope you drop by everyjoe.com every once in a while and find something useful.

I haven’t been here for a while. Real life happened and so I was too preoccupied and lazy to blog. I also didn’t want to be part of the blogosphere’s discussion on PG bloggers and elite bloggers.

I actually blog for a living, aside from my regular job. But it doesn’t make me an elite blogger automatically, I think. At least that’s the way I feel. Also, I’ve decided that this blog is my blog anyway so I don’t think that what others think about blogging and bloggers should matter to me as long as I mainly do this for myself.

Because it’s been a while and I’ve seriously neglected this blog, I should get some things in order. Including showing feeds from my other blogs on the sidebar and stuff like that.

If you’ve been dropping by, sorry I’ve been busy but I think that I am back now, for real. ;)

I used to blog a lot because of what I learned and felt like sharing. Now it’s more for capturing certain moments in my life and remembering them.

The Internet is full of blogs about all sorts of topics. I am not sure if every niche has been filled. But I wonder if too many blogs just add to the noise and filters like RSS Readers (which give recommendations, etc.) are getting saturated by so much content.

I also blog because I need to interact, somehow. Even on a relatively passive manner, I must interact with others. Over the past how many months, I’ve become more introverted than ever (even though some of you might not believe it). As such, this blog as well as my food blog and my LJ keep the rest of the world in the know.

There’s also my Linux blog on b5. I like blogging there because I know what it’s like to be a new Linux user and I still feel it sometimes. I get some emails correcting my posts or feedback that they have interesting ideas to share and it’s a learning experience for me. It’s not easy to maintain several blogs but it is still fun.

And I still have some personal projects which I need to blog about. Someday soon, I know I will. :) That’s another reason for blogging. Blogs enable people to give feedback even if you don’t personally know them.

I like this cat though. Anyway, I have a list of things to look into:

  • Images of cats
  • Drawings of people in chibi mode
  • Recover my Flickr password
  • Look at multiauthor plugins
  • Check out Comicpress
  • Check out nice color palettes for the layout
  • Decide if a bliki/wikiblog is better for multiauthor stuff or not
  • Check out how to make avatars for users of the blog. Something LJ user icons.

If you have any suggestions, it would help me out a lot. :) Or if you want to make me a custom layout, that will be terrific too! Hehehe. *peace!*
