Mostly as a desire to collect my longer-form writings in one place (and link\/publish them anyway to the larger social networks). Partly to experiment with, and observe site traffic as a result of this endeavour. Partly to explore the less-limited boundaries of a dedicated blogging software (in this case WordPress) that can&#8217;t be fathomed in the rather homogenous experience of Facebook\/Twitter\/Google+ \u2014 despite their constantly adding new applications and partnerships.<\/p>\n<p>I might repopulate this with a few of my choice (highly subjective) previous blog posts over the years.
