Blog Changes

Since Firemind has been upgraded to the new Blogger most of my blogging will take place there. This blog will feature odds and ends that don't fit FM or have more of an edge to them.

I just added a widget for del'icio.us and one for Tailrank at the bottom of the page.

Blogs And Links

I have been blogging steady at Firemind, Big Blog Directory, and 2 Lazy 4 Video. the first because it's my main blog, the second because it's my passion, and the third because it's fun and I want to get the blog going.

If you really want to learn about me go to Firemind. When I can transfer my account to beta-blogger this blog will probably die or mutate into something else. It is a good little intro into my weird mind though. ^__^

2 Lazy 4 Video is a group blog that is all about music videos. I am looking for new members. You need an old blogger account. Beta-blogger/Google accounts don't work with group blogs yet but I sent an invitation to one of my email addresses and was able to create an old account so I could join the blog.

Big Blog Directory is a place to list your blog and find blogs to read. It is starting to get some notice. I post blog related stuff there.

I added a link to Firemind on my beta-blogger profile and listed my msn for the first time. If you want to add me let me know who you are.

I added two blogs to my links here. Adam linked this blog and I have been reading his blog. I have been reading Andy's blog and decided to link it. I will probably add these links to Firemind later.

This post is getting a bit long so I should quit. I will work on other blogs this weekend although I want to give readers at Firemind a chance to catch up. I don't expect people to read all of my blogs or to keep up with me.

Testing Meebo Me

Meebo Me is a cool widget that allows visitors to blogs and other websites to IM the site owner. I signed up with Meebo and created a widget which I added to the sidebar at Firemind.

I tested Meebo Me by opening Firemind in two browser windows. Each instance of Meebo Me was separate and private. Here is a screenshot of one of the conversations.



I have to be signed into Meebo to chat but that is okay. It opens up another level of communication with readers.

Introduction

Hi, my name is Leon and I am experimenting with the new beta version of Blogger. I have been blogging since 2003. My first blog was a "work project" for a volunteer job. It was a Blogger blog and and I learned a lot while it was in use.

I decided to start a personal blog called Firemind at Diaryland. I eventually moved it to Blogger and it is still my main blog. I will be writing my 1100th post soon. Sometimes I want to start fresh because Firemind is so big and has so many good and bad memories associated with it. Whenever I try other blogs and blogging services I find myself returning to Firemind. It just feels like my home on the 'Net.

The name of this blog is Braindance. I have used it twice before in Wordpress blogs. The name is whimsical and also fits my way of thinking. Sometimes My mind does seem to dance a jig when I get good ideas. :)



Come "dance" with me. I don't know what will happen here or how long I will stay. I will promise that things won't be boring.

Cheers.
