I am no greenhorn in the blogosphere. I have travelled far and wide across the web in my search for the ideal platform and the right tool. About seventy-five percent into my journey, I realised my quest was killing me. What had drawn me to blogging was not its value as a tool. About how much one could do with it. But I found myself getting too involved with what-all-I-could-do-with-the-tool aspect of it to care about what it was I was actually doing. I found myself blogging about blogs and blogging and hardly anything else. My learning curve became one straight line that shot straight up. All this was a bit too vertical for my tastes.

I fought back the code-editing tendencies and tore away from high(er)-end blogging platforms. I made my home at livejournal.com, which was so limited with its options that the only thing I could do with it was write. I settled really deep into livejournal and convinced myself that it would be a cold day in hell when I would leave livejournal.

Well… On the first day of 2006, Satan died of Hypothermia.

Navin Sigamany, the tempter, talked me into WordPress. He gave me a domain name, gigs of space, and set it all up for me. I believe I can keep myself from going the machine way again. If not, curses upon Navin Sigamany and whoever else aided him in his nefarious designs!
