IDblog ... an information design weblog

March 25, 2003
WashimoreBlog?

Duh, duh, duh. For months now, I've been wanting to create a Washington/Baltimore weblog for the ID/IA/ED/UX space a la Exploit Boston. But I have so much on my plate now, the thought of having to customize MT to work this way was just not something I was ready to sign up to do. But in surfing my list of weblogs, I accidentally selected peterme.com and found out two things. One, he's back online as of today.

More importantly (and this is the duh thing), he's launched Beast Blog, a weblog for San Fran's East Bay area. Well, duh. Why not set up the weblog I want as a vanilla MT weblog and then worry about adding the custom features later?

So the real question is whether to do this as a regional (Washington and Baltimore) weblog or individual ones. If they were separate, I could do CapitolBlog (or maybe that should be CapitalBlog). And the folks up I95 could have HonBlog or some such.

I guess I'd rather do a joint one. Ay, but there's the rub. What the heck would you call it? Hmmm, BWUXblog. (Yikes, sounds like a disease.) BWblog? BashWaltBlog? I considered Chesapeake for a while, but that's actually an incredibly broad area that includes parts of Ohio and West Virginia.

I welcome your suggestions! Drop a comment below, or send me . Thanks!
