In the summer of 2003, when I was considering the re launch of this site, the return was turning out to be more of a retirement rather than anything else. My own lazy attitude was the main culprit on this occasion (and it appears that history repeating itself). In July, I created a blogspot account, with the ever so imaginatively titled, tegala.blogspot.com but I could never get around the fact I would have to come online every time to update the blog. Even if I had pre-prepared my entry in notepad, there is so much tweaking and checking that goes on behind the scenes before the finished article entry goes live. As you now are fully aware, I hate the restrictions of having to conform to the standards put in place by Blogger. So I surfed the web, guided by both Google and Guardian Online, one of the only newspapers to see the potential in web blogs from the beginning. My mission or rather objective was to find a homegrown blogging service which was much more user-friendly and less intimidating. I did not have to search far, I found 20 Six. At the time the membership was very small and including only a small band of geeky blogs but now it has grown to a family of weblogs covering thousands of topics. I cannot explain why I did not make use of the service but there may be an explanation later. I only re-discovered this blog account last week, as the lonely entry of 20 Six Tegala clearly demonstrates. If you had been speaking to me a week ago, you would felt my joyous mood at using this blog as my work blog. Shame that I never used any of the ecstatic feeling into action and yet again my new domains bears some rather arrogant words from the Holy Bible.
If anyone knows how I can kick start this project please get in touch. Knowing all too well the lack of response to my last two requests. I won’t hold my breath.
