Rant of Ferox

How do you like the new look? Red? Earthy? stille asy to read and all that jazz?

 I’d been letting this blog sit idle for too long, so I decided to tweak it’s direction to focus more on writing itself, be that blogging, essays for Uni or the reams of fiction I wrote long ago and an constantly re-editing to improve.

I pledge to update here more frequently and bring this blog back to life!

Some days they just dont stop comming. I know I really shouldn’t start up another blog, what with the 4 I have running and an incomplete website, but some ideas just stay in the mind.

Right now I’m strongly considering an blog on evolution and the occasional creatioist controversy it attracts. I’m sure I could write a few posts for it, and probably even keep up with a few weekly segments, but I’m not sure long I could keep it up.

Perhaps I should listen to The Bushman’s Advice and try pre-writing some posts before setting up the blog. Then I’ll know how far i can take this idea.

I actually managed to post in all 4 of my blogs this week. Corollax in particular had been neglected, bu now it still look like it might be alive.

 The new blog, which is in wordpress 2.5.1, still gives me some issues with images. Maybe I’m just unfortunate. I’ve been using the no-flash uploader to smooth out most of the bugs, but these issues mean I’m not upgrading any of my other blogs.

Still, got to keep working at it.

You’d think that purchasing a few domain names to develop into bustling websites would keep me motivated to work on them, since I’ve actually paid money for something.

Not actually true. I’ve actually been strangely apathetic about them. It’s probably because now I have to go through the whole process or promoting them, submitting to directories etc, while actually filling them with content, which is harder than I initially anticipated.

I probably should have pre-written more of the content, to make sure I could actually pull this off.

I finally have a Pagerank. Not here, obviously, but on Nearly-Dr Ferox.

It took a while, and I made a few mistakes along the way, but it’s there now and hopefully it will grow with time.

My first mistake was not having a google sitemap to make it easy for the crawlers to index my blog. The second mistake was having paperpost. But I have learnt from such things and now have my reward.
