wordpress blog, reposted from comments
Aug. 4th, 2007 06:54 amNot actually spurred on by the latest round of LJ deletions, I have a wordpress:
http://sd.magatsu.net/blog
Hosted by the wondrous![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
telophase. This a mirror of my livejournal since January 2006, but with all the fanfic, lj shout-out, and pointless meme parts taken out. I'd been thinking about -- not leaving livejournal, but moving some of the content on my livejournal to my own domain -- for a while, mostly so that the next time someone asked me what I do with my spare time, I could honestly answer that I kept "blog". I finally decided to go for it after I had this conversation with my academic advisor:
Him: Any hobbies?
Me: I...write? (fanfiction.) And I keep a...blog? (livejournal.)
Him: What's the blog about?
Me: Um. Books, movies,manga comics, anime television shows, whatever I'm into.
Him: Sounds interesting. Is it any good?
Me: ...
Him: ...
Me: ...
Him: ...Have you gotten positive comments?
Me: Yes.
Him: Well, there you go! People are cruel on the internet, if they didn't like what you were writing, they would definitely have told you.
SO YOU SEE. XD I wanted to know whether what I was writing would stand up to the untested wilds of the internet, and then there was the whole LJ-deletion thing, and basically the time seemed right. I've had the blog for about a month and a half, but I've been holding off making any announcements until I'd decided what to do with future content -- crosspost to both journals? Split content between journals? I think for now I'll just copy what I post in my livejournal to the wordpress blog, edited, a few days later. Baby steps, you know. ^^;;;
...Oh right, the other reason I was putting this off writing this post was because I wanted to explain the steps I went through to set up/customize the wordpress. ( Cut to spare the uninterested )
IN CONCLUSION, if you are keeping a blog somewhere else, please leave a comment so I can link you. Or even if you're seat-warming an empty account on another journal -- leave a comment so I can add you to google reader, and I'll know where to find you...if.
