about
After wanting to for over a year (but at the time needing to be invited), in March of 2003 I began a web log on LiveJournal, often referred to as LJ (El Jay). You can see much of those writings (and particularly any comments on them) at bshirley.livejournal.com. Was I prompted to finally blog by my dislike of the coming war? It looks like it in retrospect.
In May of 2007 I finally changed my hosting over to a server that supported WordPress 2.1 and provided me with the flexibility I was desiring.
I have been quasi-manually moving my old LJ posts to this blog. You should notice the dates in the archive section once they’re done. The dates will be retained but not the comments. And I will be manually (re)tagging them, as well. Also, this blog is now cross-posting back to that one.
