Things Nick’s Doing

Well, for a while now i’ve been wanting to write about some stuff that interests me without:

• The pressure of having to post to often
• The constraints of my current outlets
• The need to be consistent in subject matter

So, along comes this email this morning, telling me I had a “golden ticket” to do a hosted wordpress blog, and i’m assuming they won’t sting me for payment further down the line, so here I am.

Why WordPress?

Im a Drupal fan and use it for almost everything. Next to Drupal though, i do really like the WP software, and as this blog has no commercial intent, other than to spread some ideas it’s just a simple and handy way to write a few things down without having to design anything particularly special.

Shame about the templates…

Bit of a poor choice on the template front im afraid, and as of yet, I can’t see any way to mess with the css. Too bad, but like i said, the point of this was that i could start now rather than spend 6 weeks pissing around with a design and layout.

Anyways, if true to previous form, i’ll get bored and not bother writing much more. But you know? I just have this feeling that that’s not going to happen this time, don’t know why, I just do. I tried Yahoo! 360 for a few days and hated it, and also done a few other bits over the past year or two that just faded away. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

My Google friend/enemy Matt uses the template im currently trying out, so maybe im in good company on the WP front. hehe..
