every new diary starts with metadiarying

Part of the reason that I started to convert to this web-output-friendly system is that I'd like to be able to write more frequently in a public-facing kind of a way. I think I have this sewn up (though I'm going to be tweaking things for a while). But I do have a little bit of a decision to make: do I want to use this as a personal journal as well? I feel super-squicky about that. While I would like to write in public more, I need to have a space that is safe for me to be dumb and annoying. Clearly the most probable outcome of me starting to post in public regularly is that no one ever reads anything that I write, unless I happen to direct them at it. But it's also the case that a desired outcome is for other people to discover that I write things. In that case, I need to stick to my old rule that I shouldn't write things on the Internet if I don't want them to appear on the front page of a newspaper.

When I started this calendar year, I was pretty optimistic about how much teaching and creativity I would have, and I started trying to collect some doodads at a blog. I was being a university person, and I started at a university-supported blog. But it turns out that I'm not continuing as a university person, so now I have to do those things differently.
