Those who can, do. Those who have problems getting around to doing, blog.
Or something like that.
I’ve created a new blog, Doing Write, to serve as a home for, well, my (non-blog) writing projects and activities, The immediate impetus was wanting to get back into the habit of doing Oneword, but not wanting to pester everyone with it here.
(More importantly, the increased focus and visibility, for me, may actually get me off my ass and working on finishing a couple of long-outstanding writing projects. Grr.)
So I’ve created the blog, and shifted many of the conents of the “Writing & Language” category over there. You can find various tools, resources, and bits of advice for writers, as well as my Oneword etudes, and references to the varoius writing projects I’ve been (and am) involved in.
My biggest question at this point is how to show recent posts there here. I don’t think it requires the same sort of publicity at the top as the Blog of Heroes stuff, but I want folks who don’t rely on RSS to have some clue when something goes out there.
I will ponder.
As a side note, it’s been interesting creating a new blog under MT 3.2. A lot of the processes are a lot cleaner and more automated than in the past, and the default templates are a lot prettier. That said, there are some odd gaps in the default installation, to wit:
- The default template doesn’t show the categories of individual posts.
- There’s no longer a dummy “Links” section in the templates.
- Had to add in the “edit” button for the posts.
- Recent posts are shown, but not recent comments.
I’ve had to add in a few non-standard styles as well, mostly around the img alignment and paragraph blocks.
Anywhere … there it is. Those as are interested, enjoy. The rest of you … continued bloggy goodness here.
