Changes to my Permalink Structure
June 6, 2006I changed my permalink structure the other day so that my post titles are included in the URL. I think that during the migration from WordPress 1.5 to 2.0 they changed back to the default. Seems that changing them back is probably not the best thing to do with a blog that has been up and running for a while … I’m getting lots of 404 errors at the moment. Bare with me folks.
Life Imitating Art.
June 6, 2006Life imitating Art. I could have written this exact post. Perhaps less eloquantly, but nevertheless, an amazing coincidence–or have I unconciously given in to some form of blogosphere social pressure? … and no I’m not merely link-baiting.
I too have spent the last couple of weeks with my head in books, switching off the ‘idiot box’, taking the dog for a walk and spending more time meditating. I don’t have anything against TV per se, there just seems to be little on it that I find interesting or that entertains me. The exception to this is Spicks and Specks and RockWiz (Music quiz shows), which I really enjoy.
Reading also makes me want to write more, although to date this hasn’t really translated into keystrokes. I’ve been reading a fair bit of Beat poetry and the history of the Beat generation, including its influence on music and artists such as Bob Dylan and Jim Morrison. I’ve got a vague idea about writing an essay of sorts on the similarities of the Beats and bloggers, but I’m still clarifying my thoughts on this.
I also thought that as a consequence of the increased level of reading that I’d be blogging more, but that hasn’t happened either. Perhaps it’s a case of too much input making it harder to process the information and translating this to output? There doesn’t seem to be a direct correlation between input and output, that’s for sure.
