Blog Eat Blog

So what’s with this crazy Matt fellow? He blows for a couple weeks, comes back with a splooge of posts (yeah, I just used that word…”posts”), and then he’s gone again. And where’s that Top 10 he promised us? And where are new reviews? Does he just sit around and diddle himself all day and that’s why he can’t be bother to bring us the blog we deserve?

If this is what you’re thinking, you think a lot like me and we probably have a lot in common. Let’s be friends.

I’ve been having a blog identity crisis as of late. I partly wanted to change the name because it’s hard giving out my web address when I speak it “w-a-n-t-o-n-distraction.com” not “wantindistraction” or “what the hell does ‘wanton’ mean?” Also, this blog is a little, well scatter-shot. Yes, I know how to make money with blogging. Focus on a niche and write to it constantly and build your following. Use ads, so on, so forth. But I don’t want to constrain myself. If I just write about movies, then I can’t write about TV, videogames, politcs, tech, religion, or Robert Goulet (this year’s best Superbowl commercial).

Then there’s the matter of ads. On the one hand, I like money. And the more people I can get to this site to see ads they’ll never click on, the more money I get. On the other hand, I don’t want to make this a shitty place to visit. So as you can see, I have the conflict.

But as for this blog, it needs a revamp. Blogger isn’t giving me what I need and I want to switch to WordPress. Unfortunately, the Blogger-to-WordPress importer isn’t doing what needs to be done ever since Blogger upgraded to 2.0.

So what now? I’ll tell you what now: I’m going to upload TEN new reviews. I’m also going to upload my Top 10 of 2006 (it’s all finished, just needs to be published). But first, I have to go through the super-duper fun process of re-posting each of my SIXTY posts through WordPress, one-by-one.

All I ask is a little bit of patience and I will shower my wordy goodness down upon you.

It’s nicer than it sounds.
