It’s Not the Last of the Skald

It's coming together, albeit slowly, but the new site is at least up. No posts, nothing fancy, and it'll go together at my leisure. I'll be using some of the posts from here to flesh out a direction for the new site and to provide a certain continuity. The new site is located at http://www.skalduggery.com and hopefully, the party faithful will find it at least as interesting as what has gone before. Although the direction is changing to some degree, as always, I'll choose whatever strikes my fancy – but I'm aiming to document my current "history/employment" in a corrections/prison setting. Join us for a continuing conversation at a new location!

Cheers,

The Skald

Time to Get Started

I'm feeling the need, the need… well for blogging. I'd like a place that's almost "journal" and putting together poetry, but I also want a place for "reporting" on professional/political issues like my Skalduggery blog. Moreover, I'd like more control over the blog than the blogger site provides. I've been talking with my partner and sounding board – her suggestion, "shop for a good site." Got to love her! So, I'm hoping to make the move to my own website for at least the professional/political/educational stuff. I'm hoping to figure it out enough to include sections for journaling too. Maybe it's middle age, but somehow as an older guy I'd like to contribute to the civic conversation and make some small difference.

I'll advertise and shout it out if I can manage to set up my own website. Somebody's got to want to hear about and comment on ways to improve the "corrections" elements of our justice system. We'll see. I'll save MySpace for the more personal journaling.

Cheers to whoever happens by!
