The Linear Canvas

I don’t know why I decided that I should start writing this web log. I do a lot of writing and I usually have sent them to newspapers and posted them on my web site that I have been ignoring for six months. Originally I looked for a Microsoft FrontPage 2000 template so that I could just edit it from that program. It seemed like the easiest way to begin. I found one, but it was $129. Next…

I read an article in PC Magazine about Blogs and Kwiki that gave me a few ideas. I spent half of the day looking at all of the possibilities. I even downloaded Movable Type, but largely ignored it until later. Then I was thinking about how to pull it off without much expense. I thought of Earthlink and looked on their web site. Sure enough they had a Blog template for the free, as long as I pay my DSL bill, web page I have never used. Actually, it is very easy and I am not sure why I would pay anyone else for this type of thing.

I have been trying to get Movable Type installed on my web site. Hopefully I will get it working soon. At that point I will probably move it all over there. It would be nice to have some of the features of Movable Type and the control it gives you. The Trellix system on Earthlink is easy and I am enjoying the writing.

I should also note, as of this moment, I have never seen or read a Blog and really have no intentions to. I like doing my own thing. If this is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

Not too bad, considering its only been a few days.
