Well, finally. When I moved the blog, the goal was to start using it quite frequently. That was last year’s plan, anyway. In fact, I’ve got stubs of articles written in a folder, but I’ve just never gotten around to finishing them and recording the podcast. And of course, the site also started to look way too cluttered – I had added my Twitter stream to the site, just for the heck of it, and suddenly all the real content just disappeared into the 3,000 tweets I’ve posted since my last blog entry (OK, I’ll admit it – I talk on Twitter way too damned much somedays.)
One of the other problems with the blog was motivation – while I wanted to do it, it never filtered to the top of my pile of “ToDo’s”. Nothing I was doing was interconnected with making sure my blog got done. The blog serves two purposes: first, it’s an outlet for my opinions and stories, and everyone who knows me well knows I have plenty of both. And fortunately, both are usually considered to be fairly good most days (or so I’ve been told – I’m not going to trust my own judgement on that, I’ve got a fairly good sized ego 
The second reason is self promotion – I’ve got books and projects that are always in development that I need to be promoting. Just blogging about them isn’t enough promotion, of course, but every little bit helps.
