I've been moonlighting. I have a new blog.
And you know what, I've been having a wonderful time blogging (vox'ing). It makes me kind of sad, though. I want this blog to be what the vox blog has been for me, just a fun, relaxing thing to do, but this blog has always seemed to carry so much weight and baggage with it. Truthfully, I don't like having the whole thing password protected. I don't like people having to register to see my blog. I don't really like the harsh tagline. Primarily, I really would like to be more open.
Part of the problem is that I started this blog when I was in a bad place. I had just gone through an awful struggle with infertility and was then going through postpartum depression. That's a really bad place and no one seemed to understand that (I guess I didn't even really see it at the time).
Another problem is that I didn't really get blogging. In it's best form, I really don't think it should be a journal, not exactly at least. It is a life record of sorts, but I think a journal is a little more weighty than it should be. At least for me it is.
So, I want to overhaul this blog. It's probably not going to happen right away, because I have a lot on my plate at the moment, but I'm putting it in the queue. One thing I would like to do, as I said earlier, is be more open with my blogging on this site. The guy who wrote the MT Protect plugin that I use to password protect my blog is coming out with a really cool, feature packed update that allows me to mirror the stepped approach to blog access that Vox gives you. *Thanks Arvind* His update to the plugin really has inspired me to restructure my blog accordingly.
So, anyway, people... I'm giving you access to (or rather knowledge of) my other blog, don't make me regret it. Let's play nice.
P.S. If someone would like an invite for a Vox blog *and plans to use it* I have a few left to give out.
