It’s time for a change

A change in the way I blog, that is.  

I started blogging in January of 2006 (Gosh, has it been 5 years!).  At the time, I experimented with several different blogging platforms (Blogger, Typepad and WordPress), but wasn't as comfortable with open source as I was with html.  I thought (and still think) that they're somewhat constricting.  I went with iWeb (part of iLife for Mac).  It allowed me to design my own pages and has been much freer in a sense, and in other ways not so free.  For me, a blog is all about the visual invitation.  If it's not easy to see everything and visually pleasing, it's difficult read.  The funny thing about this is that I read most blogs through their RSS feeds and if I want to read more, I go to the actual blog.  RSS feeds aren't exactly visually inviting!

During my trial period, I signed up with Typepad and recently decided to resurrected my account.  I posted once in January of 2006.  See that post down there.  I kept it.  It's a part of my history.  Maybe sometime I'll move my other posts over.  (It's a lot of copying and pasting).  For now, I'll move forward.

My motivation, I guess, is a recommitment to blogging.  But, also, a desire to be a bit more "professional".  My knowledge base and experience in quilting has grown in the past year and a half.  While I'm still a knitter, I consider myself a much better quilter, in some respects.  I wanted a place to better document, share, and keep everything organized.  We'll see how it works!
