Blogger vs. WordPress

It’s been a few months since I switched from Blogger to WordPress, and I thought this might be a good time to take a moment and reflect on the change. Was it a good one? Without a doubt–for many different reasons. First up, it brought my blog and my website under the same domain. It’s all one solid piece of cloth now, and that means that when people come to my blog, they see everything about me at once–my bio, my books, my reviews. The whole shebang. It’s been a wonderful tool for discovery–I’ve been keeping an eye on my […]

On Blogging, Fixed Points, and Religion

My quest to categorize every blog post I’ve ever written continues (down to 180 posts now!). Since I’ve been doing it in chronological order (starting with the most recent posts and moving on to the older ones), I’ve had a chance to read over some of my old writings. Wow. Why in the world was anyone even reading these things? Maybe it’s just because I’m only seeing the posts I attached no tags to, but there sure are an awful lot of worthless, empty posts. Throwaway movie reviews that consist of like one or two lines. Random one paragraph complaints

Tagging and Organizing My Blog

Back when I switched my blog from Blogger to WordPress, I had to confront a cold, hard truth: I had done an awful job of categorizing my blog posts. I mean really. Horrendous. And for a trained librarian to have done that? Absolutely shameful. How was it horrendous, you ask? Well for one thing, I had something like 100 or 200 categories that only had a single entry in them. Stupidly specific categories like “The Two Towers” or “Dominion.” Why in the world create a category for something that’s only going to have one post in it, anyway? Now, if

Post #1,000: A Look Back at 4.5 Years of Blogging

And here we are. Post #1,000. My first post was back on January 16, 2007. It was really short, and fairly stupid. Why did I get into blogging to begin with? At the time, I was in Brandon Sanderson’s writing group, and he encouraged me to start blogging before I got a book published, so that once I had a book published, I’d know what the heck I was doing. Always one to cave to peer pressure, I thought it seemed like a good idea. If you look back at the first few months of blog posts, you’ll see me
