My own lazy attitude was the main culprit on this  occasion (and it appears that history repeating itself).  In July, I created a blogspot account, with the ever so imaginatively titled, <a href=\"http:\/\/tegala.blogspot.com\/\" targe=\"_blank\">tegala.blogspot.com<\/a> but I could never get around the fact I would have  to come online every time to update the blog. Even  if I had pre-prepared my entry in notepad, there is  so much tweaking and checking that goes on behind  the scenes before the finished article entry goes  live. As you now are fully aware, I hate the restrictions  of having to conform to the standards put in place  by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\" target=\"_blank\">Blogger<\/a>.  So I surfed the web, guided by both <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\">Google<\/a>  and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/online\/\">Guardian  Online<\/a>, one of the only newspapers to see the  potential in web blogs from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/online\/weblogs\/0,14024,1076754,00.html\" target=\"_blank\">beginning<\/a>.  My mission or rather objective was to find a homegrown blogging service which was much more user-friendly and less intimidating. I did not have to search far,  I found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.20six.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\">20  Six<\/a>. At the time the membership was very small  and including only a small band of geeky blogs but  now it has grown to a family of weblogs covering thousands  of topics. I cannot explain why I did not make use  of the service but there may be an explanation later.  I only re-discovered this blog account last week,  as the lonely entry of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.20six.co.uk\/tegala\" target=\"_blank\">20 Six Tegala<\/a> clearly demonstrates. If you had been  speaking to me a week ago, you would felt my joyous  mood at using this blog as my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andrewtegala.net\" target=\"_blank\">work blog<\/a>. Shame that I never used any of the ecstatic  feeling into action and yet again my new domains bears  some rather arrogant words from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.holybible.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Holy  Bible<\/a>.<p>If anyone knows how I can kick start this project please get in touch. Knowing all too well the lack of response to my last two requests.
