Moving out
I've been blogging here for just over four years now. Not bad when you consider that I only started it as a New Year's resolution to improve my writing skills.
I was 16 then, at the start of 6th form, with little interest in politics, listening to bad indie music (The Decemberists?! What was I thinking?), drinking cheap cider, living in the same house in Maryport I had all my life and with little plans about what I was going to do next.
I'm 20 now and lots has changed in the last four years, can't stand cheap cider for one though I've few plans about what I'm going to do next and I'm about to graduate from university.
In that time I've changed my views on just about everything I write about so comprehensively much of what I've written here is contradictory or doesn't make sense, although that could also be attributed to my ignorance of pretty basic rules of grammar when I started blogging.
So I'm starting 2009 with a clean sheet, a new blog on Wordpress. Update your links, favourites or that file entitled 'Details on people I hate' this is where I'll be blogging from now:
Wordpress is infinitely preferable to Blogger. I should have moved years ago.
Blogging here has been a strange experience. If I could have my time again I would probably have started blogging under a pseudonym if I had any idea this blog would provoke so much hatred from people I'd never met.
I would also tell my 16 year old self that a design scheme mainly involving the colour orange is a terrible, terrible decision.
In the first couple of years few people except friends and family ever read my blog. I really have to thank the people at Redwatch, Stormfront and the late, unlamented Combat 18 Guestbook for changing that by posting up a link to here on high traffic websites often enough for me to gather a decent number of regular readers.
I can only hope they'll extend the same courtesy to my new website.
Thanks to all my readers and commenter's over the years, it's been fun so far and I hope you keep reading.
To repeat myself, this is my new blog:
