How to Blog

Some people have those insipid inspirational posters …
… I have slide #13 of Merlin Mann’s presentation, “How to Blog”. It’s been web-clipped to my MacBook’s Dashboard for easy access and serendipitous evocation.

Chyrp v2.0b2
The blogging system with which I had a short-lived and tawdry affair, now has a new version out (finally!). It’s a great system (”system” is as a good a word as any, I guess … I never know what to call these things). Simple and easy to use as it was, I never did get the hang of how to really dig into the guts of it, not like I can with Wordpress.
For a while it was thought that Chyrp was going to be left to die on the vine. Thankfully for for those that adopted the system, the big cheese is back at the helm. Worth checking out.

MONOTONE
Introduced by Matt Mullenweg (created by?) at Web 2.0 in San Francisco, the new WordPress theme, MONOTONE, is designed specifically for photoblogging.
The theme creates a unique page for each image, creating the color scheme for each page by sampling the photo’s colors and assigning a color scheme based on that sample. Amazing.

Two of my web heroes have moved to Wordpress!
Derek Powazek returned to the blogging world in March of 2007, shying away from Moveable Type and embracing Wordpress. He even devised his own theme and, in the true spirit of open-source, released it to the public.
Now my o-riginal web hero (sorry Mr. P.), Heather Powazek Champ has done the same. I’m speechless. Once again Derek Powazek has created a new theme (actually a slightly modified version of his first Wordpress theme) for Heather Powazek Champ’s new endeavor.
I. Can’t. Wait. for this year’s WordCamp now that the possibility that both of these people may be making an appearance (hint, hint, Powazeks)
