What is your motivation for blogging?

First and foremost I blog to communicate ideas.  My first audience was myself when I started at Livejournal years and years ago, and my scope has grown larger and larger based on what projects I'm involved with.  I've tried blogging for money before (paid position, not like Pay Per Post), and as passionate as I was about the topic, I never felt very comfortable (I don't blog well under a deadline).  But my biggest motivation is that I have a bad memory...I'll forget my thought processes and troubles and successes all too easily, so blogging is a way for me to document what's in my head so I can have an opportunity to go back and reflect on those experiences.

Its done!

This site has been upgraded to version 6.2 of Drupal, and the theme has been changed. Nearly the same as before – just a little less cluttered and cleaner looking I hope.Feedback is always good!

I am really enjoying using Drupal 6.2. There are a lot of productivity gains for administrators now we are starting to get the hang of it. We have done 5 sites now.

Some of the cool features I have plugged into this site include the Views module, giving you the nice lists of data – like the Excel Posts, GeekGirl articles and Back To Basics Articles. By the way stay tuned for some more of these coming soon. There is also a translation feature provided by the Microsoft Live Team. Simply select your language from the drop down list and click the arrow to go and the site will split into two with English on the left and the other language on the right. I would really love some feedback from our foreign readers on this one.

Thanks for reading.

Not everything is working yet and we haven't got the theme updated yet.
Please be patient as we turn things back on.

Thanks
