For the last six months or so, I’ve been working fairly steadily on my regular gig at pcw/mw as an Interactive Designer. There hasn’t been much time to update my decade-old site and my portfolio. So I’ve been dumping graphics as I create them into a big bucket on flickr.

In roughly the same timeframe, I allowed my ten-year-old blogger blog to expire (they removed ftp support, and I was too annoyed, erm, busy, to use their recommended solution).

So, now I’m playing with posterous (and not yet liking it enough to link to it from anywhere…). So far I really like how lightweight it is–easy to post, easy to maintain. But with that lightweightness, I’m finding that there are a few sluggish spots that are sub-optimal. For instance, that little “posterous” tag, removing it via html/css doesn’t seem to stick. Not sure if it’s a caching issue, or if there’s a requirement I’m missing (a quick look at their faq and a google search didn’t illuminate me much–but clearing the cache with

dscacheutil -flushcache

in the terminal window does seem to help…).

But I’m very much of the “throw it all against the wall, and see what sticks” theory of tech. Tumblr didn’t survive the cut, and my background working on WordPress projects might make me come back around to it. I like these lite blogging tools very much, but in the end, I do need to be able to get away from the wysiwig set up without too much struggle to be happy. (I’m trying out their web posting tool as I type).
