I started this blog because the dynamics of the social web has thoroughly intrigued me. That I can connect with a person living in Italy simply amazes me, but yesterday I did just that. I emailed with talented blogger Antonio Lupetti about my blog and how I am working on setting up a permanent home for it with it's own domain.

This is the problem. I do not want to ignore this blog, but at the same time, I want to figure a design I like that I feel fits with this blog so I can move it permanently. There simply are not enough hours in a day. That I have such flexibility within my day job to be able to surf the net and work on my blog in my free time, is amazing. I am so lucky to have this freedom. However, my day job must always come first, at least during the day! By the end of the day, I have little interest in sitting at a computer, or if I do, family obligations often overrule.

I think that perhaps I should go back to the simple one or two paragraph posts until I am able to get things moved. I do have a lot to say about sites I have surfed the past week or so.

For those of you who may have been more interested in my 'Personal Social Networking History', I do promise, I will get Part III done about forums. I just can't promise when!

Honor. Prestige. Wealth. These are some of the things that a Bloggie won't bring you. But that won't stop the Web from voting, because this is the annual non-profit competition that determines which blogs are the best of the best. Get ready to find out who the 2008 Weblog Awards are going to.

Be sure to place your vote on some very awesome and difficult choices at Eighth Annual Weblog Awards: The 2008 Bloggies

Imagine one of your articles has been submitted to StumbleUpon. You’re getting a steady stream of visitors to your blog. With this Wordpress plugin those visitors will see a simple message when they arrive: "Hi, thanks for the visit! Wayne's on StumbleUpon, too!" with a link to your profile. It also works with Facebook, Digg, Pownce, Twitter, etc.

What I find to be even more exciting is that the people I generally want to 'friend' or follow don't necessarily have their info showing on their blog, so with more people using this awesome new plugin, I have an even better chance of being able to find those people on the other social sites! For all of you bloggers out there, grab this plugin so I can follow you better! LOL yeah, right. But it was certainly worth trying, right?

You can download the plugin and learn all about it at Wayne's blog, blah, blah technology.
