Last blog entry was June 24th here, but that's far from my most recent blog entry. We'll get to more on that in a little bit.

As a couple of friends have noted, I tend to be fairly prolific when it comes to writing. Either I write a lot of short entries, or I occasionally write some long blog entries. Have to admit that I don't recall all that many short entries, but there are quite a few longer entries here.

In any case, I've been working on a number of projects, and it turns out that the level of categorizations, and 'tags' available are rather limited here. It's nice to have the Smilies but if I want to tag a blog entry so that people looking for CVG2008, or CONvergence can easily aggregate my blog into their system, it's rather difficult. Specifically the tag function doesn't exist, though I could format tags into the body of the blog entry and hope that the indexers can figure out what they mean.

As a result, and because I may decide to stray into topics that even MySpace may not be comfortable with, I've decided to set up my own blog. I have done this in the past, and used SimplePHPBlog, and other very basic software, but the king of the hill for blogging is WordPress, and getting it running gave me the tools to do some other things, or at least reminded me of what I need to do in the future.

In any case, there will be a lot more about that, identi.ca and other things over at my new blog. I'll still write here from time to time, but since I own a domain (or 4 or more) and have it pointed at my own server, I suppose having traffic there would be nice.

For more information, and to follow the blog, go to http://www.beresourceful.net/~rusty/blog. There is an rss feed there, and you can even attach that to your myspace page. Or you can open a google reader page and read from my blog there. That's also handy for dynamically adding other blogs, and rss feeds when I refer to them.

I'm still learning about the setup, layout, and how to do different things, such as back linking, and using my blog to comment on someone else's blog, but I'm hoping it works out well for anyone who's been reading this blog here.

Thanks for the responses everyone. Hope to see you at the new location as well.
