And now....Blogging sites.

So, this should be noted. In a separate post no less. I have been on 3 different blogging sites. Blogger, Tumblr, and Wordpress. I'm not an expert on the whole blogging world but there seems to be alot of differences in all of the blogging sites and I am going to note them here.
I chose blogger because I noticed a large section of people used blogger and also its easier to keep up with? Blogger is with Google, and that probably has something to do with it. Google makes everything better. Cell phones, e-mail, calenders, maps, even searching for things on the web! So blogger was the one I wanted to try. My 3rd team, if you will. I took my talents to Blogger.
Tumblr is a strange combination of Twitter and Apple products. I liked it though. No hate on Tumblr. Posts were set up sort of like tweets, and you have different kinds of posts. Like before I would start a new post, I would have to pick if it was going to be a quote, or a picture, or if I was actually going to write. That's kinda unique. Maybe its streamlined blogging?
And there's Wordpress. I used Wordpress for almost 3 years. Many tangents were had. Many links. Many laughs. Wordpress is probably the easiest to use, at least with fancy stuff, and Wordpress widgets > Blogger Gadgets. Seriously Blogger? Gadgets? Also, the most popular Gadgets include a fishbowl emulator and a countdown to the 2010 World Cup. Not exactly relevant.
But, for here on out it looks like Blogger will be my blogging of choice. It's simple, and does everything I need to, so I am cool with it. Long live Blogger! (and the others, in fact, long live blogging!)

My 3rd blog!

It happened folks!

I started a new blog. Another one. My 3rd one. On my 3rd different blogging site no less. Unless you count Twitter. Which is technically a 'micro-blogging' site. But nobody counts Twitter. Also, as you can see on the right, I am not the most riveting tweeter.

However, I am re-blogging. Why? Well, a combination of reasons. I like to, for starters. But also I felt it would be good to share people on what it is that I do and how everything is going and cool little nuggets of information like that. You also can learn more about me and why I choose to work in vocational Christian ministry.

When I started my first blog, it was a means to an end for me to tangent about various subjects. My 2nd blog (which is linked here by the way) was to update everyone on my overseas adventures as I studied. Number 3 shall be, well, both an update AND tangent place. Though I will refrain from too many tangents, because, well, tangents lead to.... a boring read. Also, things I regret typing as soon as I hit 'Publish'. Sort of like when you say something you shouldn't. I'm good at that.

So I hope you enjoy and follow along!
