Direction and Format

Since the beginning of my bloggyness, and I mean from the first post, I have had an issue with the limits of blogging tools. Keep in mind that this is just a pseudo-rant. The lack of having pages is something that I struggle with daily. I have seen some sites/blogs that work around this and I am in the midst of implementing that sort of style into my blog as well. It just takes a bit of time. Especially since I don't use Moveable Type yet (no more databases left on the server). I would and will start posting topics to a relevant archive or something to that effect. Whether it be about Max or Custom bikes or Hot Rods or basic bullshitery.

There is site after site out there who have an opinion on format and whether you should worry about graphics and ads and the like because of the RSS/XML factor. I know that when I read blogs and such, I like to get it from the source. To me reading blogs is different from news feeds and such because what you are getting from a personal blog is more than a news feed, it is a look into how a person thinks and what motivates them. LOL, from looking at mine you would deduce that I am all over the place, and you wouldn't be far off.

My interests are as varied as anyone's that I know of and that is the point of putting together topic related archives. If you're into customs then there will be a custom archive and posts to accompany it. Don't expect to get landslides of industry information here about custom rods and bikes however. I post about my favorites and haunts and those people and things that interest me.

As I said, I hope to streamline things a bit more and give you more options to see what you want to see. My posts will hit the front page initially but will go directly into their respective archive at the same time. I don't have cable TV however so my posts won't be about what happened on 24 at such and such time, or who said what on Crossfire. Now if you want to quote Tom Waits or what-not then that's cool. Just don't expect me to give a shit about who got voted off what island.

There you have it. A letter of intent from the corrupted corporation that is me.
