About this blog
I’ve been blogging since 2002 — maybe even before that, but can’t find any evidence, because of some fucked up host provider that did not let me have my backups before deleting my domain and all the data — and lately have also been working with different CMS and blogging engines.
I begun blogging with Blogger, then changed to heavily customised Movable Type installation — even if my Perl skills were minimal. Later I found WordPress, tried TextPattern for some time and now I’m finally back to WordPress and should be running the latest version.
When using TextPattern, I found Textile, though now it’s annoying me, because I’d like to write with Markdown and WordPress does not yet allow different filters for dirrent posts.
I’ve finally switched to Mac so now I’m using Textmate for blogging as it can also highlight Textile, HTML and Markdown markup as well as upload images, though I prefer using Flickr for storing my images.
I’m no graphic designer and I like my simple layout that originally based on Hemingway theme though it’s not offering so much usability. Too many colors annoy me when I’m reading — want it white on black.
Here’s a list of some plugins I’m using:
- Wordpress OpenID Plugin
