new beginnings

I've really given up on blogging in the past half-decade as it hasn't comfortably fit into my internet usage pattern. The problem is this: I have three domains with limited content: www.projectrally.com, www.adamcosta.com, and www.noscurvy.com. I also still have my old blog, noscurvy.livejournal.com. The three websites I manage from my home computer and use a traditional FTP setup to upload all of my content. Adding new content isn't quite cumbersome, but it's not quick. That negates the whole function of blogging, which is essentially just an opportunity for your brain to vomit up whatever arbitrary and banal musings your consciousness is having a hard time digesting.

In order for a blog to function properly, new content needs to be added quickly and easily at a moment's notice. I could still use my livejournal account for that, but it just doesn't seem elegant to have 3 websites and still require a blog hosted elsewhere. I hate twitter and facebook (though I have accounts to both!), so no blogging there. I've toyed with incorporating wordpress into one of the dreamweaver website builds, but I've just never been all that excited about messing with it. I'm just not that interested in designing websites. I know that I need to change that outlook, because I don't want to pay someone else to build them for me, but since it's never been pressing, I haven't bothered. The easiest solution was just to stop blogging.

Until now, hopefully. I just crammed google's blogger into my own site, and hopefully I can put adamcosta.com to good use. Next up...posting from my iphone...
