Time to move into the 21st Century
The problem with being an early adopter is you sometimes get stuck in old ways of doing things. I like to say I’ve had a blog since long before such things were fashionable, and, indeed, since 1990, I’ve been posting regular online updates about my career, first in CompuServe’s Science Fiction and Fantasy Literature Forum (the command “GO SAWYER” would take you there from anywhere on CompuServe), then for a while also on GEnie, and, later, on my own website at www.sfwriter.com — you can find update posts there going back to 1999.
But creating blog posts by hand with an ASCII editor seems a roundabout way of doing it these days, and so I’m switching to Blogger (although the blog will still be physically hosted on my website).
I’m going to start 2006 with this new version of my blog. For those looking for older posts, they’re still available on my website:
- All of 2005
- July 2002 to December 2004
- June 2001 to June 2002
- January to May 2001
- October, November, and December 2000
- July, August, and September 2000
- May and June 2000
- September 1999 to April 2000
So, to the future! Happy New Year, everyone!

Hi Rob, nice new blog. I just found that you had an RSS feed off your site and followed it through to this. Best of luck with it, I've found a blog absolutely instrumental to finding and connecting with my friends and readers and collegues :-)
Yay! Good to see you moving your blog with the times.
What is the RSS feed?
Hi, Toby and Michael. Thanks for dropping by!
I'm new to RSS. I think the feed is:
http://sfwriter.com/atom.xml
Please let me know if that's correct, and if there's anything else I have to do to enable syndication, or to make it easier for users. Thanks!
Love the new look Rob! Very nice.
Isn't it nice to have a refreshing change once in a while? I used to also just do ASCII for blogging and whatnot, but I've found Blogger to offer a really good service, and it's great for my podcast. Good work Rob, I'll be checking often.
The RSS feed is working just fine and loaded into my RSS feedreader ;-)
I shall syndicate the feed onto LiveJournal!
Hi Rob. Blog's looking good. You might want to try Feedburner. Technorati also provides some interesting services. Plus you might want to turn on the word verification to keep the spam away.
Being a prolific writer, would you consider writing about the "De Lay & Da Ney" culture in America?
