Welcome those of you who thought you were reading my blog on http://blog.tamaratemple.com/ — that turned out to be a red herring perpetrated by GoDaddy.com: free one day, $2.95/month the next – no thank you, not when I can have WordPress for free on my own web site.
So here it is, my introduction from the other blog, repeated here in all it’s glory, to make my first post in this blog.
Welcome to my personal blog. While I have a paid livejournal account, and intend to keep it, I mostly use that for sending out short links to interesting things I find. I plan to use this space more for the essay and keep up-to-date with Tamara type of thing. So these will be longer and more wordy. There might even be some creative writing going on in this one. I’ll probably post links to the lj account from here when I make an entry, just to make matters confusing. I’ll likely also use this space to be more descriptive about trips I take and the pictures I take on those trips.
I hope to keep from the deeply excrutiating internals of my life (yes, I suffer from depression, yes, I’m on medication for it, etc, etc) and keep this at a higher level so it stays interesting. This site has my name blasted all over it after all, and people digging in the dirt could easily find me here.
There probably won’t be a lot of links in this blog, mostly just writings (except for pictures which will be kept either on Flickr or on the Gallery pages that parallels this site).
UPDATE: the blog wasn’t working for awhile. Apparently, I set a value in the options that caused an .htaccess file to be generated in the directory which was causing redirects to some unknown place. Problem resolved. This is all working fine and dandy now, just no pretty URLs.
