Its probably about 7 years or more ago now that I first registered the domain muxton.com and since then I have played around on the edges with a variety of web publishing tools and designs but never really established either a routine posting regime or for that matter a consistent theme. It has been a bit of a hodge podge of thoughts and links to be completely honest which is fairly easy to see from the assortment of post categories in the site sidebar.

There are a bunch of reasons for this including work pressures, having 2 more children in the last 4 years and further dabbling with my other web site at http://ukmac.net, although these are probably no more than excuses for the real reason which is my lack of ideas and motivation for this site. The web is a wonderful place for procrastinators and there are doubtless thousands of other potential bloggers like me who spend hours every night surfing around other peoples sites thinking, “Oooh I like that design” or “that site is really well thought out” instead of getting on with producing something themselves.

The question is can I make the effort to post regularly or come up with the necessary incentive to create a style and format that encourages me to come back and write something ? Honestly, I don’t know. What I do know is that as it stands this blog is pretty much a waste of space.

I have read a number of articles by bloggers on the subject of getting started with blogs that basically say that you should just write something, anything, as long as you start to get into the habit of writing so this is where I will start. Not an interesting first post but a start none the less.

The other place I think I will start is to rationalise the content already posted here including links and categories that really don’t gel and give a feel for what this blog is about. My old tech style posts need to be archived and the categories replaced with subjects that reflect my new theme, whatever that turns out to be.

Ok, so as a first post for a procrastinator of many years that will probably do. Time will tell if I can keep this up !

Cheers
