Though I have written often for my bread in the past, my blogging has been oddly transient and more often shared with a small circle of private readers than with the virtual public.

I haven't done this intentionally. Each blog has addressed something of importance to me (and/or others) for as long as needed.

Manila/Frontier kicked off my blogging life ca 1998 or so. Revolutionary.

Radio Userland demanded and received serious use, but didn't quite fit my writer's hand as well as Manila.

Moveable Type held a place at my desk for a while, though I was never a fan. Clunky.

I have used, left and returned to WordPress several times. If I were a Web developer, it would be a part of my toolbox. As a writer, I have mixed feelings.

For four years, I have been an enthusiastic user of ExpressionEngine. Still am.

For even longer, I have been a passionate user of Tinderbox. It can be used for blogging easily, but I have never done so. 

Why such a variety of tools? Why am I so delighted to explore Scripting2 since I am quite pleased with EE and Tinderbox?

Soon ...
