Just post it

I was participating in the workshop on How to Become a Person of Influence, hosted by Jo Miller, at Grace Hopper 2009. Throughout the workshop we were asked to exchange ideas and our assignments with those at the table.  I was lucky enough to have Stormy Peters (of GNOME fame) at my table. During one of these exchanges on increasing our influence, we were asked to talk about things we knew we should be doing but are not. For me that was writing on my blog. I ended up talking about blogging and why I didn’t do more of it. She really got to the core reason why I wasn’t blogging. She said you are trying to emulate other blogs your read and really like, you are trying to be prefect. She told me to “Just post it”. She was completely right of course. I feel it is more important to actually publish the information and experiences that I have rather that trying to write the prefect post. I have using this mantra since I have updated my blog.  I hope she approves of the new blog so far.

Updated the blog

For those of you who actually visit casadevega and not view it through your favorite rss reader, you would have seen that my blog as gone through a complete redesign. What you might have not noticed is that I switch blogging software, from BlogEngine.NET to WordPress (I will go into why in a later post). There should not be any problems as all my old posts have been imported and I have redirection working. So if you have links to my old blog they should just work. I have always used feedburner so hopefully you all come along for the ride as well. Hope you all enjoy the new look and feel. Let me know what you think or  if you have any problems.

Moderating Comment

I have decided to start moderating comments after being spamed for the last few days. So if you leave a comment, I will eventually approved it if I feel it isn't spam.
