Ok there is one blog on blawgitch now
the blog on blawgitch is the article marketing blog. I say it's a blog because I'll be updating it regularly and building it out. Or up I guess I should say. It's not in the microsite category like the Wake County Disposition Court page.

what Blawgitch is
Blawgitch itself is a recording of all the microsites related to my flashes. It's more of a blog than the microsites, but perhaps still not a blog in itself.
At the coffee shop this morning I wrote in my journal that Blawgitch is "reorganizations of data along the thread of my frantic fancy."

The Blawgitch Concept
I happened upon the name Blawgitch this morning on the way to the CafeCyclo, where I got hyped on coffee and started flashing on all these ideas for microsites.
What's a microsite?
A microsite is me taking advantage of the free publishing capacity provided by blogger.com. A microsite is not a blog in my opinion, because it's not necessarily a platform for daily blabbing.
For example my first microsite was the Wake County Disposition Court site. I made this site because there's an unspoken/unwritten procedure that visitors to the disposition court in Raleigh have to go through. I thought it should be written about.
It's not a blog in the sense that it's not a daily vehicle for my thoughts on the Wake County Disposition Court. It's simply an informational site where I welcome others to add their thoughts. More like a free standing forum thread dedicated to a very very narrow and local subject.
I would actually prefer a vehicle other than blogger because blogger posts in chronological order, with the most recent post coming first.
In the case of the Pigeon Stomp microsite, which is essentially a 15 minute google investigation of the term "pigeon stomp," I asked for visitors to start at the bottom. That's where the investigation begins and reading it in reverse sequence - how blogger functions - is not how I intended.
Blogger imposes a sequence - does anyone know of a way to break this up using the blogger interface?
I'm doing something besides blogging here - I'm creating repositories for my flashes, concepts or ideas that excite me. I only plan to upkeep them to the extent that I have more ideas about them or I have responses/feedback from visitors.
