Hellooo, Ella! Before I get giddy and giggle like a school girl about the release of WordPress 2.1 (codenamed “Ella”, after jazz vocalist Ella Fitzgerald), I’d like to tell the boring story of how Ella arrived just in time to help me out with fusing my LongBox posts into Baddieverse.

LongBox was initially my personal blog. Wanting to try out “niche blogging”, I turned it into a blog about comic books and comics-related media, at the same time creating this stupid Baddieverse blog to be my new personal blog.

I reserved all my comics-related posts for LongBox, and as it turned out, I didn’t have enough comics-related posts to keep me interested in maintaining two blogs. I ended up posting a new entry once a week. And for something so boring coming out only once a week, it meant death to traffic and comments. Death, I tells ya! Yes, I finally realized that keeping two personal blogs is a stupid idea. It’s not only stupid, it’s also… well, “stupid” pretty much sums it all up.

I’ve been on the web since 2001 (I think). I started out with simple HTML pages. I improved on my HTML skills (?!) by maintaining a static personal website. I besmirched the Internet with all of my crap including essays, poems, personal pictures, and whatever cool crap I can find online. I then started to work on my student organization’s website, which became the new official one for our org. I increased the craptitude of my sites by learning Photoshop and Flash. That fact led me to believe that maybe I did choose the right course which is BS Computer Science. And there I was, thinking that I should have taken BS Food Technology instead because, you know, I kinda like food.

Manually updating my sites was fulfilling, but it was a pain in the ass. And then I discovered online picture gallery and blogging services. And it was heaven for a sloth like me. And the age of BigBaddie Sites of Craptitude began.

I maintained several blogs (not at the same time) throughout the past couple of years. Some of them are still online, some of them are lost in the big black hole of cyberspace. I also maintained two online picture galleries which were the default stash of my org’s pictures. My crap was all over the web. Until I discovered Multiply. Well, actually, I’ve signed up with them several months ago, but I forgot all about my account until recently, when I was forced to relocate my picture galleries to another site. Fotopic and its “one account only” policy. Pfft.

I’ve lost a considerable amount of crap from my old sites, but I managed to salvage most of them and place them in one crappy Multiply site. I spent several days moving my pictures from two galleries and blog posts from five (five!!!) blogs into one site. And I saw that it was good. And on the seventh day, I rested. Haha!

If you can’t get enough crap from my LongBox blog, check out the rest of my crap at Craptastic!, and I assure you, the level of craptitude of that site is mind-boggling.
