The first post!
Welcome to my blog ^^
Some Tinkle artwork to open this blog ^^
I’m Merun and I will be the major content producer of this blog. You can have more information about myself, in well, the “About” section and also about the themes of the blog. I don’t know if I will be alone or have someone else. I mean that great idea is also born from interaction between people and I don’t plan to focus only on one subject, but three!
This first post will be one of the rare and few occasion to have some metathinking, about this blog which will fall in a category called “Metapost”.
First of October I finally decided to create a blog. I had planned to create one since June, but was reluctant since I needed to find decent webhosting. What pushed me right now is the the fact that :
- I’m now studying in IT and Web Design, and one project involve a blog. Let’s hope my teacher is not going to track me on the Internet.
- Dreamhost is 11 years old and had a promotion for their birthday which I couldn’t ignore; unlimited bandwidth and disk space. Even though it’s impossible materially, it’s always interesting to know.
- I needed a place to write some article and publish other work like translation, scan…
Anyway here it’s, a lot of work to get it running. My first concern was the name. It’s a science all in itself, and you have to think about several and finally settle on one which wasn’t already use. This blog is called Claritism formed from the word Clarity and the -ism suffix. This title embodies a lot of my thinking, especially for the geekier and artistic part of this website. I believe in originality, high quality, ease of use, and access to everyone. Of course it’s sadly not always possible to follow beliefs, but I hope I will managed to do so with this blog.
I chose WordPress as my CMS ( Content Management System ) instead of DotClear. The latter would have been a nice move to support French development but feature wise, WordPress was a better choice even if the admin interface might be less user friendly. It’s only my problem, not one of my ( future? ) reader.
The design will need some work, especially a banner at the top, and a front page. There is only this blog as of now but I decided to put it in a subfolder in case I need to put another section to this website.
Trivia:
- The tag line of this blog, “Simple and Clean” is the English version of the ending song of Kindgom Heart, ”Hikari” by Utada Hikaru
