I actually used to write a pseudo blog from 1999-2006 over on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamezero.com\/gamezero\/archived_news\/\" target=\"_blank\">Game Zero news page<\/a>. Most of my comments where about gaming news that I felt deserved some special call out, while other posts were just some general banter.<\/p>\n<p>The software used to manage it was a posting tool that I wrote with the help of my wife in REXX (under OS\/2) back in 1996 that I kept swearing I was going to someday cleanup and turn into a full blow proper distro to share with others. Of course the spare time never materialized and in 2006 when we finally turned down the last OS\/2 server and migrated to Linux, that was that.<\/p>\n<p>I originally played around with some blogging software called Pivot which I set my wife up to use on her site. But, I eventually ran into too many problems that couldn&#8217;t be resolved and I started shopping something else. I spent several months evaluating all of the various blogging applications with the key items being free (as in beer), ease of install\/maintenance, community support and features. In my mind WordPress met all of these in spades. Plus, there was an easy migration between Pivot and WordPress, and there we are. I also moved my employers blogging to WordPress as well. I had started them out on Pivot, then we moved the company over to Blojsom under OSX Server 10.4 (which looked great on paper but turned out to be a dead end when Apple abandoned the software in the upgrade to Server 10.5). So, WordPress won out here as well and the Apple servers were out the door.<\/p>\n<p>So with that done, I circled back to me.<\/p>\n<p>My biggest challenge with blogging for me comes from my understanding of the three P&#8217;s of internet content authoring. Privacy, Personas and Persistence. I&#8217;ll cover these in my next post.<\/p>\n<p>But needless to say I&#8217;ve gone ahead and set up my new pulpit here off of my personal homepage and here you are reading it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, here&#8217;s the deal.
