I’ve never been that good of a writer, so I guess I’ve just hoped I could learn if I write more often. But, for me, the lack of a subject makes writing very painful and feel more like work than anything else.

I could always talk computers or games or whatnot, but those subjects seem way overdone. Oh well, I’m sure it will come to me. For now, you all will just have to suffer. Heh, you all, who am I kidding. I took a 2 year break. No one is reading this anymore.

Peace out.

I’ll be adding and removing probably several plugins and widgets over the next few days as I get a feel for this new version. I’ll also be consolidating some categories most likely and trying to go back and add some tags to posts.

I’ve added the reCaptcha plugin to comments and activated the newer Akismet spam protection plugin. This should help deter alot of those spam comments I’ve been getting over the past couple years. I just finished deleting over 85,000 comments. Ugh!

I’ve had this design for a while now and I think its time for something different. I don’t really have anything in mind though, I guess its time to start doing a little sketching to see what I can come up with.

Blog Software Smackdown: The Big 3 Reviewed [Site Planning]

I managed to win my first battle and then entered another. We’ll see if I can keep my streak alive. If you want to vote for me, head over to BlogExplosion and sign up, then go to the Battle of the Blogs page and vote.

Anyway.. just thought I would let you know. Check it out from time to time. Maybe it will get interesting.

But an even bigger question is what will this blog be about. Everywhere I read, it is advised to stick to a single or small group of subjects because that tends to draw more visitors. But, as you may have figured out by reading this blog, I have trouble narrowing my focus to less than 20 categories, let alone a couple of subjects.

So as I have asked you for advice in the past, I once again and throwing it out there. What do you think my new WordPress.com blog should be about?

I anxiously await your responses.

Today is Blog Relief Day which is a drive for all bloggers to encourage their readers to donate to the relief efforts for those who were affected by Katrina.

The charity I chose is American Red Cross (1-800-HELP-NOW).

The American Red Cross has mobilized thousands of volunteers to respond in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The Red Cross plans to send close to 2,000 volunteers in the area to begin the initial response in the next few days.

Make a contribution and then note it here. We are trying to keep track of who has donated.

If you have a blog, I encourage you to register at TruthLaidBear’s Blog Aid page and add a link to their Flood Aid Page. Also, be sure to link to Instapundit’s Roundup Page and email Instapundit the URL of your post.
