Wordpressed

Ah, liberated from the dark and gloomy confines of Who Are Who at last. This marks the first of many (hopefully) posts that will be composed, edited and published in Wordpress (and, incidentally, the one-month anniversary of the blog). Of course, with great freedom comes great responsibility: while the frontier of Wordpress promises plenty of exciting new content (and no more drafting in TextWrangler!), I’ll be spending the rest of the week formatting and importing the existing content.

Introduction to Blogging via Wordpress.org. Truly enlightening.

Particularly faithful readers (who, in all likelihood, exist only in my mind) may have noticed my tendency to continue tweaking entries for a few days after they go live. I know this is a terrible habit—the flexibility afforded by digital media is perhaps a little too convenient for a perfectionist—and I will do my best to refrain from re-working posts in the future. That said, I’ve gone through and touched up many of the older entries, so whether you’ve already enjoyed them or ‘dog-eared’ (in a manner of speaking) them for consumption at a later date, I invite you to revisit them if you happen to have time to kill. (If you have no idea who I am or how you got here, ignore the last paragraph and pretend the writing was perfect to begin with.)

The blog re-design is just one facet of the ongoing restructuring of my online empire; the next step is setting up Indexhibit for my new portfolio website. You’ll also notice that the new blog, tentatively titled “Idolize Yr Killers”, is currently at idolizeyourkillers.com (explanation à la Lil’ Wayne in the byline); let’s just say I’m having propagation issues with idolizeyrkillers.com. In the meantime, I’ve managed to set up a new dedicated domain for my musical ventures (which, incidentally, were previously at idolizeyourkillers.com).

I was tempted, but I didn’t end up registering hipsterjamz.com. Music is now at khessel.com (in keeping with my DBA DJ name)—just a slight update on the minimal former site, no new hipster jamz.

I’d also like to thank Ben for his time and savvy.
