At first I didn't use drupal much at all. Maybe a contact form, an about me page, etc etc. but lately I've been getting into blogging and instead of using sites like blogspot, etc. I figured I would use my own drupal site after all. So I've started bloggin on my own web site (sounds pretty palm meet face, but I'm a busy man). So I took a theme (nonzero), modified it, added some css3 stuff, and started posting.
I'm trying to blog at least once a day, at worse, once every 3 days.

I'm pleased with the layout but probably will eventually do my own theme (i've done a few for others, just none for myself).

A lot of my site is based on normal drupal 5.x modules however, I use a few extras...

Congratulations for using Drupal as your blog platform, a very wise choice. Blogging once a day, wow. I do blogging too, but I think once every month.

What's your blog about - once a month doesn't seem that often, do you have other regular contributors?

Nice to see that you are dedicated to your blog. Keep at it and the traffic will start to roll in. Keep us updated when you decide to make your own theme for your blog I would like to see the direction you are headed in.

I'm working on a new theme now. I'm a professional developer (web, desktop, games) and graphic designer so that's the focus of my blog. I just caught wind of a geshi module so I installed that last night, should help when posting code snippets. Thanks for the feedback.

The theme looks pretty good.
maybe you need put as many content as you can.
