Vanderbrew

I finally got my Currently Reading and Currently Listening widgets going again (fed by LibraryThing). They’ve been off since I upgraded my theme a while ago.

I upgraded my blog software to the latest and greatest version of WordPress and switched my feeds over to FeedBurner. I’ve been curious how many people exactly track the feeds and with FeedBurner I’ll know.

I’m going to try to post more often what with the house-building coming up so that people are more aware of what’s going on there and I felt like I wanted a more advanced blog infrastructure so we’ll see how it plays out.

…and I can’t even claim to have been sick. No, just busy with lots of stuff and never really finding the time to blog - but I’m gonna try to make up for it.

I’m curious if anyone else out there subscribes to their own RSS feed. I’ve done it for as long as I’ve had a blog and an aggregator. It just plain makes sense to me. At first Amber thought it was odd, but I think that she’s come around to my way of thinking now.

It just makes sense:

• You can tell that your RSS feed is working
• You can tell how frequently you’re posting compared to the blogs you read
• It’s harder to forget to publish a post *cough* Charlie *cough*

So, here’s your opportunity to offer up your views. Do you or don’t you?

Yes, this is the new home of the Vanderbrew blog powered by Wordpress 2.0. The biggest changes from Blogger are a little different design, better LibraryThing tie in (really, I’ll be better about keeping what I’m reading up-to-date), and Categories.

I’m really excited about the categories because now I can throw stuff up here w/out having to quality it and give you, my readers, some sense of the relevance of it all.

Anyway, welcome to the new arena, sit back, and enjoy the musings.
