Welcome to my brand new website, I suppose! I fully intend to have more available here than just a self-wank blog (I can wank in other ways, yknow) but that’s going to be a long way off. It took me over a week to figure out WordPress, and the installation is supposed to take less than five minutes. I may write for a living, but that doesn’t make me intelligent in the slightest. It’s a damned Christmas miracle that whatever deity watches over this world hasn’t taken mercy upon my soul and put me out of my misery.
What can you expect from AlexZiebart.com? Nothing. I’m serious. Absolutely nothing. I make no promises as to the content of this website, nor do I hold any illusion that I will be capable of updating this blog on a regular basis. However, I will try to write here regularly. Just because I will try does not mean I will succeed, so don’t come to expect a damn thing. When I update, it will usually just be rants and ravings, possibly highlighting things that I think are pretty damn cool. This blog has no dedicated topic at all. It’s here for me to spew words and possibly for you to enjoy them.
I hope to get a section up here to highlight some of my creative writing, as sub-par as it might be. Have you noticed I’m more than a little self-deprecating yet? That’ll get annoying quickly, I’m sure. Anyway, I wouldn’t say I’m a terrible creative writer, but it is painfully obvious when I don’t hold one of my projects in high regard. If I don’t plan on going whole hog on something, my ability to care drops substantially. Pretty much everything goes to hell, and it embarasses me later. Things that are more long term for me usually turn out much, much better since my head is in it.
That stuff won’t be up anytime soon, though. I need to figure out a way to build a page for it, and I quite honestly have no idea how to code anything beyond basic HTML. I’ve heard Drupal is pretty good for building things like that, but I’ve never used it. All I know is that I frequent a community site/messageboard built with Drupal, so I know that is possible. I don’t know if it can do what I want to do, however. It’ll take me a long, long time to decipher that.
As far as the blog itself, I’ll eventually change the theme I’m using right now. I actually really, really like it and will end up using something similar, there’s just little things about it that bother me. For example, I don’t like the little stars by the tree up there. Picky, I know. I haven’t played with any widgets (or ads) so I don’t know how those will look in this theme yet. We’ll see, I suppose.
In other news, the Dr. Horrible soundtrack hit iTunes… yesterday? And it’s fantastic. If you haven’t seen Dr. Horrible yet, there is something wrong with you and you should do it ASAP. Personally, I can’t stop listening to My Eyes. Hit up that link for an example, and forgive the poor quality of the sound. That particular copy of it seems ripped straight out of the video, rather than from the soundtrack.
