This is a new beginning. For those of you who visit my blog frequently (or even infrequently), you’ll notice a lot has changed since the last time you might have seen it. My old blog can still be found here, although it will not be updated. I have some new goals for my blog. I want this to be:
- a hub for my online and social media presence
- a place to showcase my writing and commentary, not a place simply for sharing videos and links (although I’ll use them plenty to accompany my writing, no doubt!)
- a gallery for any photography, video or creative design I produce
- a record of major personal events in my life–such as my upcoming study abroad semester in Copenhagen, Denmark
You’ll notice I’ve still got a ways to go. The design is still very rough–it will be constantly evolving. The layout is by no means permanent. And for that matter, my new hosting service (squarespace) is not permanent either–I have a two week trial, after which I’ll determine if it’s worth the money (and if I have the money).
This will be very different from my old tumblog. My twitter and facebook accounts will now be my primary venues for sharing links, short news stories and various content from the web. Only the things that I can truly write about–and feel strongly enough about–will likely make it onto this blog in the form of an entry. My goal is to post at least once or twice a day, maybe with some commentary on morning news stories (as I have in the past) or with a more creative post I manage to come up with.
But that’s enough introduction, you get the idea. My first real post will be up sometime in the next 24 hours or so, and you’ll continue to see the design evolve and get a little more creative. Thanks for visiting, check back soon.
