Changes

I've been hesitant to post recently, because, after about a year of this, I'm starting to think more about what I want from this blog, and what I don't want. Initially, the focus of this was band activity, but that in itself isn't much to write about, particularly given the fairly repetitive nature of gigging and recording.

I still don't have much interest in having a blog which is just personal info, and I still want the primary focus to be on music, but with a slightly different angle. At the moment, though, I find the format of this goes against how I think I could make it work.

In general I think posts need to be closer to daily than fortnightly (or monthly, as is the case now), but there needs to be a good distinction between minor stuff that gets thrown up, verses things I've actually thought about.

Subtraction and I Am Alert both have good ways of dealing with this hierarchy quite elegently: my blog does not.

Also, things like tags are a good idea but ultimately completely useless in their current form. So what's the point?

These things seem minor, but the fact is that the way this blog is laid out, and the way I publish posts works against me ever feeling like posting something, even when I have stuff I want to write.

So, I'm taking a break, while I figure out what to do.
