Changes

23rd Jun

I’ve had a heck of a time over the past few years trying to find my blogging voice again. I’ve switched domains, redesigned a million times, and tried to find the meaning of my blog. Today, I realized I’m tired of blogging like this. I’ve been blogging since 2001 – that’s eight years. I used plain ol’ notepad and HTML, then Pitas, then Blogger, then Movable Type, then Wordpress, and throw in a bit of Livejournal there. And through the times my blog has followed me grow up through high school and university, and now that I’m done with university I feel like I’m at a stage in my life where blogging is hard.

I don’t have much to say – I’m not particularly witty or funny in my entries, and I’m not even really all that interesting. It’s hard to think of ideas or a goal of my blog when I’m all over the place in terms of interests and passions. I realized I’m dry when it comes to blogging for the first time in the eight years I’ve been sharing my thoughts on the Internet. That’s a weird feeling.

Today I was thinking of shutting it all down and just having a portfolio of my work.

But fortunately I forced myself to keep thinking, and now I have an announcement to make.

Starting around the beginning of July, I will not be blogging by myself. Stephanie and I will begin co-blogging here about creativity and living well. It will be an interesting experiment but well worth it. I hope you will all come back to see the changes made to this place!
