Microblogging

I'm going to try microblogging -- just writing little snippets at a time. It's better than nothing, which is what I've been doing.

Template Update

I'm too tired to think of anything to blog about tonight, so I updated my blog template and I'm writing about that.

Okay, that was cheesy, but a post is a post.

Back on the blogging track

I've really fallen off on blogging. I let things slide so much I didn't post any New Year's predictions in January or celebrate my blog anniversary or my birthday in February.

I'm making a promise to myself to blog every day this month. We'll see how it goes.

The New Lion’s Domain

As I mentioned yesterday, I’ve decided that it would be a good idea to transition to a new blog. Today I installed a WordPress database on my Pessoa Gallery website.

A Year of Blogging

Today marks the first anniversary of this blog!

I have 416 posts under my belt, so at some point I was doing multiple posts a day. No time for that now!

I haven't accomplished any of the things I intended to do with this blog.
I was going to:

• Write about Narnia. I did that maybe three times.
• Use it to prepare for NaNoWriMo. Didn't even bother signing up.
• Post new artwork. I posted old artwork instead.

Ah, well.

With Blogger acting up lately, I'm concerned about stability. I don't want everything I've written to disappear one day, so I may transition to a blog hosted elsewhere so that I can easily back up everything.

Something to think about.

The Circle is Now Complete

On Sunday I visited BlogMapping, a site that allows you to see who’s blogging in your neighborhood.

I typed in my zip code and found Jamaican Queen’s site. This was only the second blog I’d ever come across that was written by a black woman, so I was excited.

In her “Because Joy tagged me” post Jamaican Queen tagged NJ Diva Girl, also a sistah. Diva’s risqué “Three’s Company” post caught the attention of Luke Cage, a brother who’s a graphic artist and comic book fan.

I entered “Luke’s” old school rap contest and tossed out a freestyle verse. I liked a comment laid down by Amadeo Sogni, a brother who’s into just about everything.

And from Amadeo’s site I found Jedi of the Old Republic and Jedi Consular, two dudes who pen Star Wars for Colored Folks.

The circle is now complete.

Cafenut

There are some cool things about the layout of the Cafenut blog.

Actually, that's not true. It's cluttered as all hell but there are a lot of links I want to explore. And I'm going to bite the "Currently Reading" idea.
