This Ain't my First Time in the Blogosphere

I've had a blog before. Back when I was in New Orleans, I started a blog called The Drunken Vegetarian. My idea was to provide a vegetarian's restaurant guide to New Orleans, a pretty carnivorous city, and describe interesting bars I visited. I thought it was a good idea, but I made two posts on it and then quit. I've thought about why I gave it up. Well, I found managing the graphics inexact, as you can see. Also, while I loved a lot of the restaurants in New Orleans, I'd been to them a hundred times, which didn't exactly inspire writing about them. Same thing about the bars. Plus, I'm not exactly versed in idiom of food reviews.

But here's what really killed it--I realized I'm not into self-promotion. This blog was intended for general reading, for developing an audience larger than just my friends. But I have absolutely no interest in promoting myself--none. It was an interesting bit of self-discovery, and it explains a lot.
