Okay, so here’s my new blog. *SIGH*

I soooo did not want to do this. But, my original blog site, JoeUser, has made such drastic (and extremely ill advised) changes that I can no longer consider it a blog site. It’s being transformed into the social networking component of the software company’s new site-plex. JoeUser is now, in a word, garbage.

So, here I am, unwillingly thrust out into the cold, unforgiving blogsphere, naked and alone. That’s the way it feels, going from the safety of a community, where I could mingle and disappear into the fleshy mass of “the many,” to standing out here all by myself, a one man band with nowhere to hide and no shuffle to get lost into should I so desire. I should have done this years ago, but there is something comforting about the warmth of the crowd.

For now, please excuse the design of this blog.. I grabbed a pre-made template off the web just to get something up and return to blogging again. The only alteration I’ve made so far is adding the purple (my favorite color) gradients to the top and bottom. I’m currently designing and populating other sites and hadn’t anticipated having to restart my own blog from scratch. Over time, I’ll slowly morph this into something almost entirely different, but for now I have to put this up and get moving again before too much inertia sets in.

Except for the occasional repost or the rare thing related strictly to that community, my old blog is dead. This is where you should be looking for me.

 
(P.S. The 300+ blog articles I previously wrote are, for the time being, still at the old site and can be read there.)
