Hello, and welcome to Moviefone the site.
I am a professional Internet lurker. I have rarely, if ever, contributed content to communities with which I belong. This was by design, but it is a character flaw I hope to change with this site.
Past websites
I’ve created a few websites in the past, the main one being a tech / video gaming / movie blog. I spent a lot of time fine-tuning the theme (with Internet Explorer being a huge pain to support), and back-end features, much more so than the actual content. Ultimately I found it to be difficult to write with any regularity, and, jobless, I let the web hosting and domain lapse.
What to expect from this site
So why come back to a blog format, especially since the world has moved on to social media and micro-blogs? Well, frankly, I don’t care for those formats with the kind of content I’m hoping to write. They are short and ephemeral, whereas I’d like to aim for more detailed posts (though not Ars Technica scale) and be able to callback to them.
