New Kid on the Blog(osphere)
So, I’m a n00b. Up until now, I’ve never had a reason or believed that there was a purpose for me to start a blog. Let’s face it, who would really want to read about what some unknown yoyo has to say? A recent change in jobs has prompted me to revisit this decision and I have come up with what I think are 2 valid reasons for me to start blogging:
1. I’m responsible for Web Ops for an online travel company. As I’m sure oodles of people are well aware, there are more travel blogs around the web than you can shake a passport at. I think it is worthwhile for me to understand more about participating in blogging culture in order to transfer this experience to my current job responsibilities.
2. Again, I am responsible for Web Operations. In the last month or so, I’ve come to realize that there aren’t a lot of Web Ops specific blogs / sites / conferences around, that don’t focus primarily around programming or setting up the most kick ass Apache server (not that there’s anything wrong with that!). But I would like to see if this blog can essentially tap into a what I would think is an existing pool of people in a position similar to mine that are looking to share and promote thoughts, ideas and information about running their respective companies website operations – more from an infrastructure planning and day to day management perspective rather than hands on coder and sysadmin.
So that’s it. My first blog post on my first blog. Whew…

Welcome to the space, Brian. I like where you’re planning to go with the blog. I think you’re right that not enough information about web operations exists out there. Good luck and keep up the good work. About the name, though…
