So... I quit blogging a year ago. My last post, Planning was dated June 4th, 2006:
I have never been one of those people who plans what to post in advance and/or posts them and saves them as drafts to be revealed later. But, over the weekend I have thought of a post I would like to make later. Stay tuned.
And then that was it. I closed my blog and I switched exclusively to a photo blog. "Stay tuned." Then nothing.
Why did I quit? Censorship is probably the biggest reason. It got to a point where I couldn't say what I wanted to say so I said little or nothing and every post was more vague than the next. Details were lost, hidden behind the reality of who was reading and the nonexistence of web anonymity. The funny thing is, I got so vague that when I went back to read entries, I don't know what I was talking about anymore. I don't want that to happen again.
So why am I starting a new blog? Old habits die hard, I guess. I blogged for 4 years; I've done web design for 10. I love my photo blog and will continue to post photos there, but it felt like a good time to start up a blog. Censorship is still an issue, maybe even more now than before, so I have created a new category for private entries. This category is password-protected and I have not yet decided who will be granted access. "Stay tuned."
[Sidebar: I do know what I was referring to in my final post last June, however now my views are very different. What a difference a year makes.]
