Did you notice? You might not have, because I continued to crosspost from WordPress to Livejournal. I made the move because Livejournal, as a platform, was getting increasingly shaky, with frequent denial of service attacks.<\/p>\n<p>In the year since, I&#8217;ve continue to enhance the WordPress blog, and have expanded the crossposting to include Dreamwidth. I currently crosspost to Dreamwidth, and then Dreamwidth crossposts to Livejournal. People can comment on the blog using their Livejournal IDs; alas, this doesn&#8217;t work for Dreamwidth as Dreamwidth is not supporting the latest OpenID standards. I&#8217;ve got a ticket open.<\/p>\n<p>Through the year, I&#8217;ve seen the number of comments on LJ go down as the level of usage of LJ has gone done. Despite claims that people were moving to DW, I haven&#8217;t seen that much activity from there. I&#8217;m not sure where people have gone: Tumblr? Facebook? Twitter? G+? Other subject specific groups? In any case, I see less and less long-form writing and thoughtful pieces. I guess the internet has been overtaken by the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Too_long;_didn%27t_read\">TL;DR<\/a> generation. That&#8217;s too bad.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d love to hear your thoughts on the first year of &#8220;Observations on the Road&#8221; on WordPress. Are you reading and finding it interesting? Are there ways I can make it better?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Music: <\/strong><em>Kwamina<\/em> (Original Broadway Cast): &#8220;Welcome Home&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A little over a year ago, I moved my blog over from Livejournal to a WordPress blog hosted at California Highways.
