I used to blog a bit a few years ago using a Movable Type site. Now I'm blogging with Plone.

I'd like to say it was something I planned. It was not. My site got accidentally deleted and I just never bothered to lift the "do not resuscitate" order. I had found that my posts were getting unfocused and so I decided that it was time to give the world a break and stop posting for a while.

Well, it now feels like enough time has gone by that I can once again show my face on the blogosphere. This time, my focus will be a bit sharper. And this time I tie my musings much closer to my professional affiliation - in short, to my job as executive director at ONE/Northwest.

This time, I'm also trying Plone out as my blogging platform. Over the last three years, I've come to really love Plone as a content management system (CMS). We've used it to build websites for well over 100 environmental organizations.

Plone appears to be on the verge of Cambrian Explosion of creativity right now, fueled by its latest release and much tighter integration with Zope 3.0. 

So I'll close this first post with one small prediction - this time next year many more people will be talking about Plone -- and a few of us will be talking through it...
