Friday Five

1. How long have you had a weblog? Since April of this year, although I had been meaning to start one for a long time before I actually did. It was M.S. who finally sent me over the edge towards blogdom.
2. What was your first post about? My first post was announcing my intentions to start a blog. Duh. My first post with any content was describing a weird dream I had. You can read them both here.
3. How many changes (name, location, etc.) of your weblog have there been, if more than one? I changed from “My Schtuff” to “Fresh, Hot Wastes of Time”, and I bought the domain name of addlepated.net in the middle of May.
4. What CMS (content management system) do you use? Do you like it or do you want to try something else? I just switched from Blogger to Movable Type and I’m really happy I did. I like not having to depend on another server to be up, and I haven’t had a post munged since I switched. It’s a total bitch to set up but ultimately worth it.
5. Do you read people who have both a journal and a weblog? Or do you prefer to read people who have all of their writing in one central place? Yes, I read both. I have varied interests. My daily reads include all of the blogs on the sidebar, as well as Fark, Metafilter, and Blogdex, which are all sort of community blogs.

    The state of Insanity is highly populated. You should know.
