Matt Betts tries to explain himself

I started blogging this week for Blood, Blade & Thruster.

I'm posting on general geekery and other fun stuff for them. You may remember the print magazine from a while back. A new boss is looking to get things moving with a new group of bloggers and other good stuff in the near future.

Check out their regular flash contest and the blog at bbtmagazine.com!

I seem to make the announcement every three months or so that I'm still here and I guess its about that time.

I'm still here. And I have news. Are you sitting down? Ok, I'll just come out and say it.

I've been seeing other blogs.

Wow. It feels so good to get it out in the open. It doesn't mean I care about you any less. I'm just trying something new.

I've been wanting to spruce up the old LJ for a long time, but I'm incredibly tech un-smart. It was hard to set things up and hard to make posts look pretty without a huge effort. It seems the means to do the things I want are in place, but everytime I tried to use them, they didn't work. Nothing in the FAQ helped and their support had no idea why it wasn't working.

So I tried out a test blog on blogger and really dug it. I'm setting up shop over there with mattbetts.com (http://zombiewrangler.blogspot.com/). I think I'll still use lj, because the community is so great and none of the others has that real 'friend' ability. And, of course, I'll still check in with my Flist. But I think the bulk of my new stuff will be over on blogger.

I'm sure there's a way to cross post. If anyone knows that, I'd love to hear it. Right now I'm trying to try to import my lj posts into blogger and that's not going so well. That might tell you something about my level of know-how.

Anyway, I'll be around - lurking mostly - but I'll keep in touch!
