Upon Griff's urging, I'm experimenting with using Zoundry to try to manage my blogs. It really is important to be posting regularly, and I find that there are both technical and psychological obstacles that prevent me from posting as frequently as I'd like. On the technical side, I manage or contribute to five blogs, and the different publishing platforms, while fairly easy to use, each require their own learning curve and interface. Since I have my notebook computer with me almost all the time, it makes sense to use desktop tools like Zoundry. If I get into the habit of using Zoundry as my daily blogging journal and post to the appropriate blogs, then all I have to deal with is the psychological issue. That has something to do with a mental block that kicks my perfectionist tendencies into gear whenever I do something that displays in print (psychological obstacle #1).

Here's where I'm blogging from today - my "morning room" just off the kitchen. The window's open and I'm listening to the cardinals doing their spring concert. It's pretty awesome.

(The above paragraph was brought to you courtesy of "overcoming psychological obstacle #2", which isn't comfortable revealing much about my private life. I've always had a sneaking suspicion that bloggers are either megalomaniacs or exhibitionists or both, but I'm trying to reconcile myself to the spirit of Web 2.0 and the whole social networking phenomenon.)
