Hello and welcome to Composed Chiefly of Nothing, version 2.0 of my blogging attempts. For any old hands around, know that Any World (That I'm Welcome To) still exists; I simply chose to privatize its contents. If you desperately want to read the archives and whatnot, however, let me know and I will add you to its list of readers allowed to see them.
Why did I want to start over? I feel like I have changed rather a lot, in subtle ways, since I first began Any World over a year ago, that its title and content no longer fully fit what I wanted to say. Also, Blogger has changed such a lot since I first began blogging, and I wanted to go at its new features on a clean slate, so to speak. Finally, Any World, although not private at the time, was not bandied about the internet at all; with CCoN, I'd like to try opening this humble space up to a wider sect of the internet, and that means trying out this whole new concept of professionalism, saying nothing I wouldn't say in real life, etc. Any World was never inappropriate, but it lacked direction and, above all, interest, and yet I am loath to kill it fully, since a lot of entertaining musings were recorded there.
What will CCoN and it posts look like, then? Well, like any piece of the internet, its content will be a bit dynamic, fluid, maybe slightly hard to pin down, all that good stuff. However, in general it will be, like many blogs, a bit like a slice of me: random YouTube videos and links on my mind, anecdotes from Chicago or New England, random pictures, updates with some slightly more academic and personal stuff going on, all that good stuff.
The design will be fluctuating for a bit as I try to find something suitable; my CSS skills are nonexistent, so I have to play around with Blogger's template designer, which can be somewhat time consuming. Please bear with the at-times haywire design this space will have for a bit. In the meantime, however, until I get the first few posts up, feel free to read the background info pages linked at the top.
Welcome and enjoy the ride through the cosmos of the internet!
