Continuing the translation of “articles<\/a>” to modern blog entries … Article 32<\/a> from March 10, 2004. Coincidentally, the announcement of this very Blogger blog.<\/p>\n

I am continually interested in the language style of these “old” articles, some of them composed as long as two weeks ago. The ingratiating “check it out” style of the pointers, I do not like. Presumably, in future I will not like my current LOLcat<\/a> style. Edison hate future.<\/a> Yes.<\/p>\n

Check out Dresan Today, my new weblog — as well as the home for my experiments with weblogging software.<\/p>\n

Manually adding entries to this site is a pain, which is one reason I tend to write big chunks spaced out over a long period of time. I’ve been meaning to set up software to help me automatically add updates to the Library for some time now, but between work, art and writing it’s been a challenge to find enough time to work on the prototype AND work through the limitations of hosting the software on my web provider’s account.<\/p>\n

SO today I decided to cut the Gordian knot and experiment with the freely available services. The http:\/\/www.dresan.com\/daily\/ directory will house both my current weblog Dresan Today as well as any experiments I’m doing with weblogging tools.<\/p>\n

Currently, I’m experimenting with Blogger, which is quick and easy to use, free, configurable, and (most importantly) doesn’t require any software running on my web provider’s server. This is exactly the feature set I wanted in my roll-your-own blog (not counting source code availability, extensibility, wiki features, and a searchable database of blog entries on my home machine) I decided to give it a shot. Since it took less time to set up the blog than it took to create this “normal” entry in InterDev, I think it is definitely worth a try.<\/p>\n

So see what’s on Dresan Today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
