i was just looking at FARK, and i noticed a link to a story on Wil Wheaton. i've read before on Something Awful that Wil Wheaton was a regular Fark user (along with reading some jokes poking fun at him). just out of bordom i clicked the link on the Fark story. it mentioned Blogs, and how popular Wil Wheaton's is.
when i saw his site, i thought it was pretty bland in design. i started to notice what i thought were some similarities with his site and mine. he says he does the site himself. i noticed he uses PHP, and i've been using PHP for a while myself. he calls his site "WWdN" for short, and i've called my site XdN for short for years now. i noticed the way his news posts looked similar to mine, and i noticed that he uses MovableType for his news management/posting, just like what i *just* switched to.
anyway, im sure a lot of sites look like mine and his. its just the past few days, i've been doing a bunch of work on my site, both in coding and with upgrading the news management from NewsPro. so i've been looking at my site for hours and hours - and when i finally take a break to read some other pages, one of the first ones i see reminds me of my page.
so whats that mean? great minds think a like, or that there are too many blog-like sites on the net? i have no clue. i just know i've had my site up since 1996, so i feel i have a one up on other sites like it... :)
