As I was setting things up to bring the blog back here, I did a bit of a rummage around the wayback machine, because, while I actually had four different blogs on this domain, I didn't think that any of them had ever been given pride of place and allowed to rest at the root.
When I checked the earliest archived page, I found one of my original entry pages, and on it, the following text:
I need to believe that every day is mine for the taking, and remind myself that even a small step is progress. The web is my passion, inspiration, lifeline and playground. It tears down barriers and gives me the freedom to express myself.
Four years on, and I'd still stand by those words.
Happily, it's not as much of a lifeline for me as it once was, but it's still a lifeline to many people, and a large part of who I am and what I do.
It's been too long since I did anything really creative online, and it's high time all of that changed.
Now, where did I put that inspiration...
The wonderful thing about the web - and blogging in particular - is that it forces me to reflect on life. Life can rush by in such a blur and blogging online forces me to pause a little.
I'm glad you've reverted to this (blog design) style, by the way. The starkness is so refreshing.
Planethalder.
You can take the pixeldiva away from the blog but you can't take the blog away from the pixeldiva. Or something.
Good to have you back

Wot's inspiration?
I'd try looking behind the sofa, that's where mine tends to fall.
