Blogging ’bout blogging

Admittingly, I don’t blog much here. I pretend to have a busy life filled with work and school, my caffeine blood levels will testify for that. I am also typing this on a Thursday in the middle of the day. Anyway, we’re trailing off. I have a new urge, I need to blog. So I will. But instead of spamming this blog with even more posts (…) I’m going to spread it out evenly.

IE7

I’m still in a bit of an awe as to how much less evil IE7 is, compared to IE6. Some of you may have noticed the couple of articles concerning IE7, specifically the IE DevToolbar. I will keep posting my opinion about any web development tool out here. However, next to that i will post editorial posts concerning IE7 on the blog IE7CSS.info, made by a friend of mine, Jake Rutter.

IE7CSS.info will feature everything from browser tips to CSS cheatsheets, all written in a clear and easy to understand way. If you ever need to know anything about IE7, this is the place to go. And I’m not just saying that because I blog at the place. Though it helps, doesn’t it?

My first article there is a rundown of the IE Devtoolbar, basically my two posts combined.

GMT Student

Well, This is a bit of a different thing. For one, it’s Dutch (Goodbye, 70% of my readers!). This blog will be shared with 5 other students, and each one of us will post a blog every day for a month long about our lessons, and our activities outside of school. It’s part of the recruitment campaign for the HRO, the College in Rotterdam.

Graphic Media Technology, as the study is called, focuses on the creation of old and new media, and all aspects of it. Ideal for me, and the study has been a blast so far. :)

They originally wanted to host the weblog using www.web-log.nl (no link love) A horribly, ad-plastered, pre-1999-layout weblog “system”. That was, until I got involved. Now we’re getting our own domain, and I get to install a copy of wordpress 2.1 (hot!) and get to set it up and customize it myself. (Of course, with the general consent of my fellow students)

Lucky for us, we can post whatever the hell we want to, so expect a nice combination of gloating and moaning from my part. The link is GMTStudent.hro.nl

Well, this one seems pretty straightforward, doesn’t it? I’ll start posting about posting on other blogs here. I seem to have made a fairly good start with this article, I’d say.

…Okay, so maybe that isn’t the best way to go about things. In that case I’ll just continue with the sort of posts I already post, nice ideas about CSS, interesting things about the web, and tidbits about my personal life. If you would like to see me blogging about specific things, please let me know!
