I Be Famous

I am constantly amazed how my words work their way around the web.  I was just about to add a new post to my Wordpress journal, and while parusing any new comments needing approval and seeing what kind of traffic I'm getting in between posts.  Since I have 3 or 4 blogs attached to my Wordpress account, my dashboard also shows me traffic of interest related to those blogs as well.

The one that always seems to get the most attention is Pagan Perspectives.  Just today, I found this linkback to my article blog - http://www.paganconnection.org/pagan-resources/internet/2008/06/29/popular-pagan-blogs/

While I haven't updated my Pagan Perspectives blog in some time (roughly 9 months or so), seeing things like this make me want to get back to writing articles again.  Though, I think that since I have been spending so little time online, my perspective may have changed a bit. I'm not as in touch with what is relevant to the Community anymore.

I think that what I might need to do to get back to writing is to maybe shift my focus.  A little less about my opinion on popular topics and maybe a little more on the things that are important to me now.  I guess we will have to wait and see.

I Can Has Syndications!

I have syndicated my Wordpress blogs for LJ!  Since I am obscenely slow at updating my website, my articles can now be found first (unless they are submitted for publication) on Pagan Perspectives at [profile] pperspectives.  And my more craft-centered journal named yet again Into the Mind of the Phae can be found at [profile] phaetalon.

This means that cross-postings will be phased out.  Feel free to comment at Wordpress (though, I will still see them if you comment at syndication page, because I have them friended).

That is my accomplishment for the day (that and a super yummy dinner made from scratch and interesting flavours that I have previously been scared to combine.  Go me!)

FTW!!

Seriously, the more I learn about Wordpress, the more I love it!  It is some CRAZY customizable, and it has tag surfing.  Which isn't exactly the same as a friends list, but it is better than that random blog thing that blogger does.

Today, I learned how to add icons to my posts.  Now, granted, they are just images inserted into the post, but I can make them look just like the icons on my LJ, and since they are tiny image files, I am practically unlimited in how many I can have (and they don't change when I decide to change my default icon).

Yay!

ps - don't worry.  I'm not deserting all you guys. LJ is still my first stop, but Wordpress makes me squee!

New Homes

Hi All -

So, I have been playing around with Wordpress - mainly because WD needs a place to put his articles on game design, so he can build a name for himself in the field.  Me, I collect blogs like a magpie collects shinies.

And so now, I have two.  One that will be basically another LJ for my thoughts and random stuff (sans the quizes - memes stay on LJ), and the other is the new home of Pagan Perspectives. 

I am eventually going to update my website, but for now, if I am wanting to post an article or outline or just get feedback, this is where the party will be.  I'll also keep it updates with links and info on where you can find my writings. 

I figure it is about time that I start getting my articles out of my head and into print.  At least that way, I can say that I am a published ranter ;)
