I have been posting a lot of stuff here in Ramblin’ Dan about my many hobbies and especially about my machine shop. That’s what a personal blog is about… anything I want! Ha! š
But I have had questions from some readers about where they are supposed to look for new writings on hobby activities. I have the same thought problem too. Where should I put stuff I want to share; web site, theĀ forum (TEDEX), or here?
The forum lets others post their own stuff. It also permits the participant to upload pictures directly to the web server. I think of it more like a “club” space for everyone to contribute. When I am doing something small in my shopĀ I like to post there. But size isn’t the only reason.
This blog allows comments to my postsĀ but no new posting by anyone but me. It doesn’t have to be that way. It is they way I want it and the way I set it up. I could open a Blog for many contributors. That would be a bit more in conflict with the Forum but blogs seem to be the rage. (Any suggestions?)
Web sites are really exclusive as far as two way communication. I think it is perfect for detailed “How to’s” and picture essays. Long time readers will have noticed I have shifted all my editorializing here to the Blog with just a little of thatĀ on the Forum.
So here it is: Pictures Essays on “The Hobbyist’s Machine Shop“. Show and tell for everyone on “TEDEX forum”. My personal rantings, ramblings, observations, interests, family, frustrations on Ramblin’ Dan.
