I have been writing online since 1993/4. I started off on bulletin boards and later moved into the realm of HTML. I used the name Musak on Monochrome back in 1993. I have always believed in the power of personal publishing to add to our society, maybe even to add to the power of democracy.
In the period since then, I have experimented with various sites, but it wasn’t until Movable Type that I was able to easily manage a great deal of content, and this site became what is known as a blog.
I have been involved in the development of several sites over the years (some large, some small), but it is only now that software is readily available to bring the content management of the larger sites to the smaller ones. Although this site is a useful creative outlet for me personally, it is also a little playground that allows me to explore the software’s capabilities (web log analysis, referral logs, and content management, to name but a few).
I have been looking for a way to experiment with combining several Movable Type instances, but for the life of me, I can’t find anything. And today I have launched Man of the Moment, which uses another Movable Type weblog to create, and I am trying to integrate some of it into this site.
Man of the Moment is, therefore, a technical experiment and may not last very long. Of course, it is also a shameless way to get pictures of good-looking men on the site. I suspect the quality of the men may determine how long I keep it going! So get a look while it lasts!
On this day…
