What has happened to my beautiful blogs?
I have abandoned them, chasing after scholarly things, and now they call me back like abandoned dirty-faced children.
I have still been popping in to comment the bloggers I subscribe to, but for one reason or another I never seem to have time to squeeze an article out myself. This must change!
You may notice I am writing a tad more professionally, a capital letter here, a full stop there. Well. I've been doing a Post-Graduate course in Technical Communications @ Swinburne University of Technology, online.
I did a TAFE course in News Media a couple of years ago. Then I did a TAFE course in Small Business Management where I researched free-lancing as a career. Then I considered teaching journalism and did a TAFE course in Training & Assessment. I like to keep all my options open.
So it's been study, study, study for me.
I'm doing Civil Construction Design at TAFE concurrently with my PostGrad studies, just to make sure I am completely occupied at all times.
Facebook has made me lazy. It is so much quicker to post a link to an existing article or video on Facebook than it is to construct a blog post myself. I've been taking the cheats way out. But I do miss my blogs, And I miss my little blogging community.
I feel very encouraged by all these new changes to homepage, and the new systems of having "followers" and "editor stars". It's a brave new world here on Orble.
I think I should set one day a week aside to cue up some fresh material, and use the forward dating system to stagger them out over the week. I need to get more organised and get publishing. I need to do it. I want to do it. I will do it.
I could probably prepare some educational posts on all the stuff I'm learning. Plus there's a never-ending stream of news and events from the queer community that really needs to be shared with the inter-webs.
To all my subscribers: thanks for sticking around, and expect some fresh new content soon.

I still want to write an entire novel with no capitalisation or apostrophes.

I guess there are things we create for functionality, and things we create for artistic expression, and never the twain shall meet.
Hi Janet,
It is so much easier to update my Facebook status than it is to upload links and pictures, place advertisements, tag, title, and draft a blog post. But I vow to cease the laziness and create consistent web content from here on in.

Sounds like its exams all round!
Even when I'm dormant I'm still snooping around, I love seeing how the site is going and what sort of content everyone is producing. I just can't stay away.

Hi Steve,
