A Blog With No Name

Moving but not disappearing

I enjoy blogging here, and I like the discussions that result from it. But I'm coming up against a recurring problem. If I write a post and tell friends from elsewhere about it--for example, people I know on Twitter--most of them then say they can't get the blog comments to work. Occasional ones manage, but most don't. So they want to start or join in with a discussion, but can't.

But the discussions and contacts are one of the main purposes of this blog, so I've decided I need to move it elsewhere. Probably that will be wordpress.com, but I'm open to other suggestions. (I've looked at LiveJournal and didn't like it much.)

What I'll probably do is post new articles on the new site, but put links to them here. It'll be a while before I move though; I've not had a chance to try Wordpress out properly yet.

It's a shame to move, but I do want my friends to be able to join in the discussion...! I'll tell you the link once there's something there to see.

  • It didn’t work!

    Somehow, I never expected that it would. I’m talking about National Blog Posting Month, which I dutifully blogged about at the time. Bullying myself into an activity was never going to work. So you can rest assured that in the writing of this post and the previous one, no cruelty to the author was i ...

  • The urge returns

    No appetite Some readers will know that I started this blog quite soon after my father died in June 2008. I had been using Twitter to keep friends informed about the progress first of his health, and then of our funeral plans, and after a while I felt the need to start a proper blog. I think [...]

  • Some linguistic insanity

    We’ve all heard stories of bizarre sentences resulting from, say, translating a piece of English into Russian and back again. I’m never sure whether these are true, apocryphal or embellished. Well, yesterday I came across a website called Translation Party whose function is simply to generate these. ...

  • How to make coffee without losing friends

    You’ve probably noticed two trends in the instruction manuals or leaflets which come with consumer items. For one groups of items—mobile phones for example—the trend is towards giving less and less useful information. For example, my new phone has a red light on the side which sometimes flashes. It ...

  • National Blog Posting Month

    OK, so I’ve just signed up for a thing called National Blog Posting Month, also known by the “elegant” name NaBloPoMo. This was probably a rash thing to do. The idea is that every day, for an entire month, I have to post something to my blog. From past experience of writing a journal, this is unli ...
