Maggie Mason can rest easy
You may not have known this, but for the last month or so, maybe longer, I was trying to set up and run a shopping blog ala Mighty Goods by Maggie Mason. For various reasons, I have stopped trying. The best part is, I can start visiting her site again, and the even more awesome Mighty Junior. I'm sure she is very relieved.
I'm interested to hear the rest of this story... Oh, and you can rest easy. I can't use the spacebar on any site in NetNewsWire.
P.S. - The inline comment editing is cool.
And now... the rest of the story. I loved Paul Harvey when I was a kid, before I knew about conservatives. Anyway, there's not much to tell. A site like that takes a lot of time, daily attention, and a strong cms backend. It turns out that I didn't have the time, couldn't attend to it daily, and WordPress was not well suited, even with a raft of plugins.
Given the competition (well-established competition) in the market, the effort required to get something like that up and running was not compatible with my immediate present and future plans (I want to get a real job).
That's all. Tale as old as time, eh. I have other irons in the fire now.
