July 26, 2002Friday Five 7/26/021. How long have you had a weblog? Oh, since January 2002. 2. What was your first post about? Starting my blog, and a random paragraph from a cookbook from the 70's, see. 3. How many changes (name, location, etc.) of your weblog have there been, if more than one? None. This is the only site I've had. Excluding my little bit of space on RU's servers. 4. What CMS (content management system) do you use? Do you like it or do you want to try something else? I use greymatter. That's what I started with and although I don't always understand the logic of it, I'm pretty comfortable using it and am not planning on changing anytime soon. 5. Do you read people who have both a journal and a weblog? Or do you prefer to read people who have all of their writing in one central place? What really, is the difference between a journal and a blog?

1. How long have you had a weblog? Just over a month. Newbie, I still am! 2. What was your first post about? I blogged about the future of my blogging, and compared blogging to..... ehhhh..... too difficult to explain here. Just head on over to The Donut to see! 3. How many changes (name, location, etc.) of your weblog have there been, if more than one? No name changes - but my site actually runs off two servers at once (each server performs different tasks to make it all work). 4. What CMS (content management system) do you use? Do you like it or do you want to try something else? My own, baby! VDML (Virtual Donut Markup Language) I kid you not. 5. Do you read people who have both a journal and a weblog? Or do you prefer to read people who have all of their writing in one central place? I have a difficult time reading people (especially women). I prefer to read their writings. ;) Posted by: BiztopTizzop on July 26, 2002 10:02 AM1. How long have you had a weblog? I started June 5th, 2000. My blog is now more than two years old. And yet when I go over the archives, I still remember every one of those 794 days. 2. What was your first post about? It was a "here's what's up with me" review. This is actually why I started blogging, since I had so much news all at once, with graduating and getting a kick-ass job that I didn't want to spam my loved ones every time something big happened. So I spammed them once - with a URL. And my news has been online ever since. You can see that first entry in my test template here. 3. How many changes (name, location, etc.) of your weblog have there been, if more than one? I originally started on Radford's servers, since I didn't want to use Geocities. I stayed there for four months, then moved to Burlee.com's hosting (which blows). I've been on that for almost two years now and the bastards locked me into this year. So, to retaliate, I bought hsoting over at OLM.net, and I plan to move there before the fall's out. 4. What CMS (content management system) do you use? Do you like it or do you want to try something else? I currently use greymatter. I did 11 months entirely by hand and then finally got to Greymatter. Now I'm doing them all over again, since I've manually imported that 11 months over into the next big thing - MoveableType. Once my archives are converted, I'll start blogging there on that new OLM host I mentioned. 5. Do you read people who have both a journal and a weblog? Or do you prefer to read people who have all of their writing in one central place? I'd rather read a journal. Aside from my personal weblog, I don't really know of anyone else who keeps the two separate. Most people combine all of their daily news together.
