Lately, I have been reading MY blog. Strange as it sounds that is exactly what I have been doing for the last three days. Before you guys put me in a straightjacket and pack me off to the nearest asylum, let me clarify myself :)
As you all know, I have this terminally ill and close to dying site called Tamizhan.com. After briefly entertaining notions of building a community site built around it, I have dropped the plan for lack of time, energy and motivation. But I cannot sit idly watching that site die :( So I decided to approach the problem seriously and do a complete re-organisation of that site and along with that, this site. So I have been reading my blog to solve the question of how to re-organize my sites.
Here is what I found out ( Nothing earth shattering really :-) )
Three things happen here :
1. Every once in a while, I manage to write something reasonably long and worth reading. This is a rare occurance and happens mostly once or twice in a month :-)
2. I post a lot of links to other sites/stories. This happens frequently.
3. Rarely, Very rarely I write about myself. The archives show me that this has happenned maybe less than 10 times in the last six months.
Now I have two sites and three types of articles.
For the first type of articles, I have re-designed Tamizhan and am re-opening it. ( PS : I am not the kid in the photograph there :) ).
For the second type of posts, I have started a new chota blog at masala.tamizhan.com under the name masala : netLife. This should be the most frequently updated of the three.
And the third type of posts, the ones which talk about my own life, will remain in this site. I hope to write a lot more of what happens in my life in an effort to create an archive of my own life so that at a later point in life, I can look back and laugh at myself :-).
So thats it folks.
Hop over to Tamizhan and Masala to see the newly opened sites. Not much of a design there actually. Something barely enough to hold the content. A more complete design will be put up shortly.
Do tell me your views on all three :-).
