Lorelle, over at Wordpress.com, put up a blogging challenge that I was quite keen to respond to.
I’ve been blogging, on and off, since 2002. I’ve STILL got most of my old public archives (that I recently kicked to freinds only) at livejournal. I started blogging because people were using blogs to keep up with freinds - and I got a couple of gigs out of that in quick succession - Scribe And Quill for a start.
In 2002, I was blogging because it was fun. 2003/2004, and I was one of the first people to adopt blogging as a business ‘thing’ (and I really wish I’d stuck to that for a while and evangelised better, because a lot of what people take as read now are things I was doing back in 2003/2004.
The site itself was ran on b2 evolution - and was called digitalsteward . I ran six blogs there, till I moved to WordPress (and didn’t learn MU). I tried to mess around with some of it, but eventually, Digital Steward became my main business site, and is now closed, because my life moved in a different direction. I moved most of my sites to WordPress, and I help others do that
I like blogging - it’s something that I actually ENJOY doing. It keeps me writing when I can’t write my stories - and though, sometimes it’s a distraction FROM my writing, I’ve got some great pieces over the last few years that come out of my blogging - some of my best stories have appeared in one form or another over the years.
I love writing more though - which is why blogging works so well for me. I just have to harness it and stop going overboard

That’s the part of the challenge dealing with blogging, but what about your software? How has that changed for you over the years?
