The Imaginary Part

The act of weblogging is a sporadic event for me. I've tried serious posts, insane posts, long posts, short posts, sparse posts, frequent posts, informative posts and utter gibberish---mostly labouring under the impression that someone somewhere really cares. It's my blog and I'll do what I want to, as it were.

So it was that this evening I emerged from a Doobie Brothers-induced haze and discovered that I had completed most of a WordPress installation on my domain's website. Who am I to argue with the music? Here is the result.

Until today my supposed method of blogging was a mostly broken perl script whose job is to generate static sites, more or less like blosxom, except broken. Before that was a PHP/PostgreSQL blog I wrote myself shortly after I worked out that it was possible, and long before I had any idea how to code it elegantly.

Enter WordPress. Heck, I like it. I had a faint memory of it being bloated and difficult to navigate and make look nice, but I might well have confused it with some other CMS (goodness knows there are some bloated suckers out there).

Expect to hear more from the desk of me in the coming weeks.
