Börja Blogga: Swedish Blog Guide

Thord Daniel Hedengren — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 00:08:54 +0000

I built this site on the predecessor to the Notes Blog Core theme in under 24 hours, at 24 Hour Business Camp in February 2009. Börja Blogga (translates to “start blogging” or “get started blogging”) is a guide to blogging in Swedish, targeting both beginners and intermediates within the medium.

Key Features

Börja Blogga is built entirely on WordPress.

Big strong logo and a pretty favicon to go with it.
Four main categories are the heart of the site.
Pages are used for more static guides and resources.
Meant to be read, so the content is in focus.
Strong sidebar for promotions.

Visit Börja Blogga here! It is one of my own projects still.

Work in Progress

Thord Daniel Hedengren — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 21:52:23 +0000

I know, it’s about time I got myself some sort of decent portfolio set up here. This is the first step in what I’ve got in mind for myself online. However, the whole thing will be something of a work in progress for a little while longer. The old page is still available if you really need to check up on me.

What’s With The Silence?

Thord Daniel Hedengren — Sat, 02 May 2009 13:22:17 +0000

You have probably noticed the lack of updates here. The silence is due to a number of things, most of them involving work. I’ve got the luxury of actually being fully booked until the end of July, and some of these projects are really eating away at my time. Which is OK, I get paid, I’m not complaining.

That doesn’t excuse the negligence of this site, although I don’t need to offer anything like that since it is my name that gets dusty here. Still, I never meant it to come to this.

So I’ll make some changes. Work has started, somewhat quietly, on a simple portfolio page. This will go up here on tdhedengren.com. I’ll move my blogging elsewhere, so that I can give myself some room. This is all besides all the freelance work and twittering I do on a day to day basis.

Which brings me to tdh.me – my lifestream. It’s a bit unpolished and very early on, but it is working and it’s a way for ya’ll to keep up with me if you like.

Now let’s resume the silence here for a little while longer. If you need to get in touch, do drop me a line.

Mostly news post this week. You might want to check out my full Blog Herald reporting, as well as my Twitter account of course. I passed 3,000 tweets, sweet.

Also, I am no longer the acting editor on Devlounge, and hence won’t write there as often. There’s no controversy there, part of my time had already been refocused from Devlounge to the Blog Herald, so it is all good.
