Ranadok …doesn't have much better to do

Why on earth do I need to do this?

So it's about two weeks later or so, and here it is as promised: exciting times!

Well, that was fun.

Now, on to serious matters (deadly serious matters). There are reasons for me creating a personal blog after all of these years safely not having one.

First, I have had this domain and hosting since April-ish and have done nothing with it except for throw up a gallery with some pictures and a few other assorted things like that.

Second, I wanted a place to write things (of great importance, naturally) that aren't intended for anyone in particular. My brother (for one) knows  that I occasionally write long-winded emails and send them off on such varied topics as crappy TV shows, crappy video games, crappy election results, and crappy technology in general. Doing them this way will at least let him (and others) ignore me more effectively. I may even copy some of the old reviews of various things here as posts so I can find them again later.

Fourth, I want to document my projects (stitchery for now, eventually other things as I get around to them) somewhere with a bit of explanation beyond just the photos that are already in the gallery.

Third (and last), I want to play around with Google Analytics, and I need a site to do so.  Stats are fun (when prepackaged into nice graphs and charts for you).

So, that's it.  At the moment, I'm pretty sure nobody ever every reads this site (four visits in the last two weeks according to GA, all of which were me setting it up). I hope eventually expand my viewership into the single digits (including but not limited to: my mom!), but just for kicks, I'm not going to tell anyone I know about the site and see how long until somebody visits me... I think it'll be a while. We'll see.

And that is all.
