Well I've spent my afternoon preparing the ground for my move back to Blogger and I bet you can't tell that I've done a single thing. That's OK because I've mostly been trying to make it easier for me to create a post. One of the most valuable lessons I got from 360° was discovering what I didn't like about their blog format. I understand what they're trying to do, but I need more flexibility. Maybe flexibility isn't the word I'm looking for but I know what I need, and what's more, I feel like I'm getting it.Part of working on the blog has been going over my old posts. Its a wonder I'm not a complete basket case. Especially if you take into account the preceding has only been what I've found the energy to document. Its difficult to experience, its difficult to write about, its difficult to read. What I decided to do is steal an idea from they kids on the 360° team. I've added a section on the left for posts I'd like to highlight. If you're not familiar with Blogger they normally have a section there that lists your most recent posts, which may or may not be your favorites.
I realizeif its difficult for me to read its gotta be hell for anybody who might blunder upon my blog using the Bloggers random button.
Its really odd, but for some reason I feel like I've moved from a nice furnished apartment to an empty studio on the wrong side of town. There are so many people on Blogger and blogging in general that blogging is like floating a message in a bottle, only the ocean looks like a wine cellar and sounds like a crowded cocktail party. I feel like a crasher.

... than a frontal lobotomy." Where did that quote come from? I've seen it in the work of a cartoonist called Leunig (but I guess it could also be the work of a Sufi poet, eh?).
I'm Kristo, by the way. I dropped in because I was thinking about that same quote very recently so thought I would check it out after seeing your seed in 360.
Good luck with this site.
Kristo!
Thanks for visiting. I think the quote is originally from an old Vaudville act. I always assume that it means I'd rather drink than go crazy from stress, or something like that. Its one of my favorite jokes. Will you get this if I post it here? I should probably send you a message.
Hm, about blogging in Yahoo and Blogger... such a coincidence - my last post is about it! I find th eYahoo blogging system too stupid and ugly in some way, but I agree with you - blogging in blogger is too "lonely". So it seems we both with you have done one same thing - we have profiles in Yahoo and we blog in Blogger LOL, so our Yahoo friends could find and comment our post in Blogger. Smart.
Hello Chameleon,
Maybe we can form a different sort of network on Blogger.
