Broadsheet: Imposter!!

Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. - Cyril Connolly

There can be only ONE.

UPDATE: Well, the haircut, hair color and attitude of my alter ego are pretty much spot on, so what the hell? If Salon is willing to steal my moniker, then I'm willing to "borrow" their image.

Welcome to the one, the only, the original rag = Broadsheet. The new image is a good update for the new year, and my first blogiversary is coming up. Stay tuned for more changes over the Holidays when hopefully I'll have time to fix URLs, update the blogroll, and tweak the template. Like other bloggers, I am considering leaving Blogger per se, and moving to my own domain, but my programming skills to support such a move, are not all that - (New Year - cough - resolution - cough.)

However, last year I took the plunge to begin a blog, and I taught myself the basics of HTML programming with a lot of trial and error. I never bothered with a book, I just read the encoding script of most web pages for a few weeks and figured it out for myself (thank goodness for "cut and paste!"). Once I figured it out, I haven't looked back. I know the quality of this blog has suffered significantly since I took the new job back in July, but hopefully, I'll make a more concerted writing effort (New Year - cough - resolution - cough). I may even take a class in creative writing (New Year - don't hold your breath - resolution - don't hold your breath).

PS: Besides, I've never really looked much like the roof of the British Museum, and even though I liked the photo when I took it last year (and still do!).... A lot has changed since then. A lot of things for the better.

Linda,

I'll lend you a sword so you can face the imposter-Broadsheet in combat to the death, and make proclaim the sorta-famous line right before you perform a-neato-decapo action!
