Framework Revisited
A while back I brooded on the fact that this site and my writing doesn’t have a specific framework. This would be a topic that is specific enough for visitors to easily identify with and give them a reason to keep coming back. In an email to Odd I wrote this bit, lamenting this fact again.
Focusing down a topic I think is one reason none of the ookee blogs have really taken off. It seems people are more interested in finding people of similar interests by only searching for one subject matter instead of a whole person’s identity. This is understandable since it’s hard to get the feel for who a person is on a blog like ours unless you’ve followed it for months or had some direct experience with the other person.
Creating a blog that is topical isn’t a good or a bad thing, but for someone like me with many interests it is hard. I am not inclined to narrow my interests to where I can’t express myself in other ways. I am more interested in writing about everything that interests me rather than showing merely one dimension of myself.
This is why I run this blog and The Unofficial Blosxom Users Group, and participate in the group blog, OOKEE.com. This is why I’m intending to launch another blog about my political interests based on some ideas talked over with Mookee. It will, hopefully, be a group blog with participants from across the political spectrum. I’m hoping to launch it in the new year.
Meanwhile I’ll keep ranting and raving here about whatever comes to mind and not attempt to define a framework for this site!
