Cascading Changes

After splitting my political blogging onto another domain I realized that the change in focus here would necessitate some other changes such as a more appropriate set of features and a different theme. I realized that I had taken two years of experimenting to finally get the right setup to foster the dialog on political matters. I figure I have a headstart here since the purpose is a bit simpler and I have two years of experience that I did not have when I started Pursuit of Liberty. I don’t think this will take anywhere near two years to get the right setup to make this personal site operate like I want.

Today I unveil a new theme – it’s not complete, but it’s a start away from being a copy of what I had before splitting the sites.

One Year

Today marks one year since I started this blog. Considering that I had done significant blogging in the three years before that you would have thought it would be stable, but I have been through 2 blogging platforms, 3 name changes, and a variety of styles. In that year this blog has had:

  • 311 posts
  • 360 comments
  • 1355 spam comments caught

That’s an average of 6 posts per week. I’m hoping for one per day in the future. I don’t anticipate any name changes or platform changes in the future, but I am working on making a new style that will not have the major bugs with Internet Explorer that this one has. Hopefully it will have all the functionality of my current style when I get it up but I expect it to have a nicer layout and improved navigation. I look forward to an even better second year than this first year was.
