So I don’t make blog posts often. I guess I should make one every week or so, maybe try and make them simple and funny. I guess the title explains it. While working with my dad today, he went to Horton’s Building Supplies to get some concrete. He had a Horton’s cap in his truck for a while, so I decided to take a look at it. The tag read this,
Ironic, isn’t it?
I noticed I haven’t made a new blog post in over a year almost so I felt something insignifant like this justified a post (who honestly keeps up with my blog anyways? No one probably). Honestly, the only reason I made a blog in the first place was for somewhere to publish my analysis of Fitna. I felt I put enough research and time into it that I didn’t want to just post it on some public forums, I wanted it tied to my name, my site, my domain name. I thought I might do other things like it and post it on my blog, but I never really did. I never planned to try and ‘market’ my blog to get readers, just post maybe some relevant stuff at a point in time and help some people or put my perspective on a subject.
A big reason why I didn’t post on my blog at all after the Fitna analysis was also my host. The host provided great bandwidth, but their MySQL databases had horrible response times. The site would become unresponsive when working in the administration area and the user interface (or… control panel would be an easier way to put it). Today, I became not lazy for a moment (this is a rare occurrence, it took me a year to get to this point, mind you) and moved my blog settings over to a new host and new MySQL database. I regret not doing this much sooner now. The control panel of WordPress is so much more responsive now, it’s like I was working with turtle and now I have Speedy Gonzales working with me.
So there’s an update, I might make an odd monthly blog post now.
