The new blog project is slowly taking shape. Bluehost seems a very likely candidate for hosting, and Wordpress for content management. Remarkably, even with a new domain name, storage space that dwarfs Typepad’s and a myriad of other nifty (and necessary!) options — I’d still be paying less than for Inkblot Earth’s Typepad Pro account. I Wonder why I haven’t heard of Bluehost until now — apparently it’s popular amongst Wordpress users.

Inkblot Earth has now been active and online for nearly 6 months. In that time, I’ve written 162 posts and had 204 comments — my thanks to everyone so far, it’s always encouraging and fun when people take an interest.
I began blogging for several reasons and had no intention to make Inkblot Earth a specific type of blog. Sure, I knew from the start that it would be science, technology and aesthetically oriented — but beyond that I made no effort to stick to a certain domain of topic. As such, Inkblot Earth has remained somewhat of a sandbox of various things I’ve found interesting.
