While in the process of restyling my personal website, I had to decide what I wanted to do with my old blog: given my poor Web design skills, there was no hope whatsoever to get its layout to match with that of the underlying site, and since I didn’t update it that often, I probably could have just wiped it out from my site — one less thing to worry about, right?
I opted for the other viable solution — WordPress — because, even if I won’t update it as often as I’d like, I still feel like I could use a spot to speak my mind about all the random thoughts I have everyday, from sci-tech to forex and politics — don’t expect anything even remotely cohesive from me!
In my first blog post, I think it would be appropriate to mention that I hate the “what-I-did-today” kind of blogs altogether. While this blog is definitely “random” in terms of the topics I’ll be discussing, I’ll do my best not to fill it with useless junk, but with thought-provocative things instead. Besides, why would anyone want to visit my pages to know what I had for lunch? I’m far from being a famous celebrity and I haven’t conquered the Universe or a galaxy (just yet!).
Have a nice stay,

Dario, you do your best. You are right it is not interesting to read what somebody eat everydy. I am interested in reading your posts
What did you do today sites are what most people use Twitter for. I personally also don't really care much for what someone did today or what they ate etc. WordPress is great and I think it can be used to do a lot of different things beyond just blogging the way many use Twitter etc.
good luck with your site makeover! cheers
Hope you don't mind me going a little off topic, but I was curious as to what extent you have found keywordluv has helped you get more comments…and if they are good comments or just thank you for the post type comments. I found when using this plugin I got a whole heap of "Thanks" type rubbish which didn't add to my blog at all…it sure did get a lot more people making comments though!
There are many posts about what they ate everyday and it gets boring in the long run. It would be better to just post random stuff, like this one.
Nice blog i really enjoyed it and added it to my favorits.
Such a usefule blog subscribe now thanks.
hi there, i just came across your blog listed on bing, and i must comment that you write awesomely well via your blog. i am really struck by the way that you express yourself, and the subject is good. in any case, i would also like to know whether you would love to exchange links with my website? i will be certainly more than happy to reciprocate and drop your link off in the blogroll. looking for your answer, i would like to convey my appreciation and gooday!
I like the design of this site, but honestly the dark blue comes on a little bit too strong in my opinion…
I had a little of both. I'm getting more quality comments overall, but proportionally more spam
. It's good for when you first start a blog.
