And here we are...

This blog has been a long time coming... really... a long time. I studied Journalism and Media studies at Rhodes University, so you'd think that since I consider myself a writer/journo (even though I'm not actually a practicing one) that I would have created a blog a long time ago.

Well, life (and Wordpress) got in the way. I've actually been thinking of starting a blog since March this year. I must have designed about ten headers before settling on the one I have now, and trust me it will probably change. Whenever I had a spare moment (which was hardly ever) I'd play around with my Wordpress blog.

Wordpress is great - if you buy the extra customising packages that they offer. It's probably due to the fact that I have a slight problem committing to things, but I just couldn't settle on a template. Maybe it's just me, but every single template I tried had something that I didn't like, or had an ugly font in a colour that didn't suit my header. The only way to change those kinds of things  is by accessing the CSS, which you have to pay for. Now, due to the fact that the end result would be me in a wagon-load of debt with my dad having to bail me out, I do not have a credit card. Which meant that purchasing the custom design option from Wordpress wasn't an option. 

So, to Blogger I went. The user interface isn't as larny or as user-friendly as Wordpress, and it's logo isn't quite as cool, but it's FREE. And you can customise it to your hearts content, including adding your own custom CSS. Perfect. 

So now here we are. I finally have my blog. It will probably be changing a lot in the next few weeks as I finish up more design elements, so bear with me. 

Enjoy :)
