Here's the thing.
I do a lot of online writing in a format that could conceivably be likened to blogging but lacks the "blog-as-diary" element that truly embodies the blogging concept. I'm looking for something that can have a shorter-form "random thought" type of quality, and I like the idea that the posts are all on one scrollable page and have time stamps as well as date stamps.
But Jameson, you're a web genius. Clearly you could add these features to your existing site?
Damn straight! But something about the prefab tool appeals to me. Maybe it's the fact that I don't have to do the work. Maybe it's the concept of housing it separately. Maybe it's just the thought that I'm "slummin' it" with the HTML-novice hoi polloi. Blogger/Blogspot seems to have a nice open source feel about the way they handle all this stuff, so not only do I retain rights to my content, I retain really easy access to it. Maybe someday I'll move it all over to pH7media.com and integrate it with the other goodies. Who knows?
In the meantime, I'm going to see what I can make out of this. Call it a blog for blog's sake.
