    Blurty has been frustrating me on a number of levels lately (unreliable, slow, lack of syndication options, low readership, etc.), and so today I opened an account with Blogger, Google's web log page. The new site is at http://aidsblog.blogspot.com, and as you can see, I've backdated my past 4 entries to that site already.

    The main thing I'm excited about is having a syndicated XML feed, located at http://aidsblog.blogspot.com/atom.xml. For those of you who are unfamiliar with syndicated feeds (RSS, Atom, etc.), they're probably the best way to keep up with blogs (and news headlines too) from multiple sources all on one page. Think of it as a friends list that isn't limited to just Blurty. If you want me to go into more detail about it, leave a comment and I'll do my best to explain.

    Another thing I want to look into is allowing others to make contributions to my blog. Blogger seems to allow multiple authors to access the same blog, a lot like communities work on Blurty. If anyone is interested in contributing news articles, essays, editorials, etc., on a regular or irregular basis, let me know.

    Lastly, I plan on changing the look. I haven't decided on a final look yet, but I know I want it to stand out. Red, black, and white are my most likely colors. Suggestions are welcome.

    ta-ra!
