For a while, I have split my online blogging between my personal and this blog. It worked originally and all was well, however I now find that I want DOW to become my entire home. I have come to believe that although it can be hard, you can infact be yourself on and offline. As part of this, the next flavour of DOW is going to have an addition. So, welcome to dog food. Why the title? Well, back when I wrote my about page and used the phrase "this blog will not be about what my dog had for dinner". Well, dog food is not going to be about my dog (nice as she is), it is a place for me to sound off, rant, bounce and generally just be me. I have grown lax with my focus on DOW and the measure I took of the daily DOW really did not work.
As I have stated before DOW is a work in progress and sort of experiment. With this comes the strong possibility of finding things that work and also do not work. For me, the current format just does not work as I think it should. As a result this flavour when it is put into the archive rather than the main flavour, will have a revised front page and listing.
Along with the new skin, there will be a further section entitled Expresso. The main blog will become "freshly brewed web" in conjunction with this. Expresso is designed as a maybe daily, maybe not daily but a frequent shot of more than likely links or snap thoughts. Not intended to be a full blog entry along the lines of daily DOW. Daily DOW just ended up with me writing long blogs every day rather than focusing as was the intent. I am not afraid to admit that it works in ways and not in too many to keep.
Let me know what you think about these changes and I will bare anything in mind. For now, I will just stop dangling the new flavour in the air and actually work on it so I can get on time for that May 1st Reboot. I found out last time that Reboots come too fast.
